What is the primary difference between the X870 and X870E chipsets?

The X870 chipset, used in this motherboard, typically focuses the highest PCIe 5.0 bandwidth exclusively on the CPU-integrated slots (like the primary GPU and M.2 slots), while the X870E chipset often adds PCIe 5.0 capability from the chipset itself to more expansion slots.

What is the maximum supported memory speed for the X870 AORUS ELITE X3D ICE?

This motherboard supports extreme DDR5 memory overclocking up to 8800 MT/s (O.C.), optimized with support for both AMD EXPO™ and Intel XMP profiles.

Does the X870 AORUS ELITE X3D ICE support the latest Wi-Fi standard?

Yes, it features the cutting-edge Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 module (QCNCM865), enabling multi-gigabit wireless speeds and enhanced low-latency performance for compatible systems and networks.
