AORUS X870E STEALTH ICE Motherboard
Premium ATX AM5 Motherboard
₹30000.00₹27500.00
1. Platform & Core Features
Built for AMD Ryzen 9000 and 7000 series CPUs (AM5 socket, DDR5 only).
Uses the X870E chipset, so you get top-end features, strong power delivery, and broad connectivity.
“E” means PCIe lanes from the CPU are all PCIe 5.0 capable (GPU + at least one NVMe).
Aimed at high-end gaming, content creation, and overclocking, not budget builds.
2. Stealth / ICE Design & Aesthetics
“STEALTH ICE” = white/silver theme with hidden connectors for super clean builds.
Most front-panel headers, USB, fan connectors, etc., are moved to the back edge of the PCB (depending on case support), so cables are not visible from the main side.
Large integrated heatsinks and shrouds cover the M.2 slots and chipset, giving a solid, premium look.
Ideal for white-themed or showcase PCs with glass side panels.
3. PCIe & Expansion Slots
Primary PCIe x16 slot for GPU: PCIe 5.0, steel reinforced for heavy cards.
Additional PCIe slots (x16/x4/x1) at PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 depending on lane layout (exact count varies by final spec).
Designed to handle large modern GPUs (RTX 40-series, RX 7000, next-gen cards) without issues.
4. Storage (M.2 & SATA)
Multiple M.2 NVMe slots (at least one PCIe 5.0 x4 for ultra-fast SSDs, others PCIe 4.0).
Each M.2 slot is covered with a thermal heatsink for better SSD temperatures and sustained speed.
Standard SATA ports (usually 4–6) for 2.5" SSDs and HDDs.
Great for multi-SSD setups (OS, games, scratch drives, project drives, etc.).
5. Memory (RAM)
DDR5 only, 4 DIMM slots (dual channel).
High speed support (well over DDR5-6000 with EXPO), ideal for Ryzen’s sweet spot.
Supports large capacities (64–192 GB depending on module size), suitable for heavy multitasking, editing, VMs.
6. Power Delivery & Cooling
Strong VRM design with high-quality power stages (made for high-core-count Ryzen and overclocking).
Large VRM heatsinks, sometimes connected with heatpipes, help keep temps under control.
Multiple fan headers and AIO/pump headers for custom water-cooling or large AIOs.
Good for sustained workloads like rendering, compiling, streaming, and long gaming sessions.
7. Connectivity & I/O
Built-in Wi‑Fi 7 (or at least Wi‑Fi 6E, depending on the final version) + Bluetooth for wireless devices.
2.5G or higher Ethernet port for fast wired network.
Plenty of USB ports, including USB‑C (rear and front-panel) for modern cases and devices.
Onboard audio with an upgraded codec and isolated audio section for cleaner sound (better for gaming headsets/desktop speakers).
8. BIOS & Quality-of-Life Features
Modern UEFI BIOS with easy mode and advanced mode for tuning, overclocking, fan curves, and EXPO memory profiles.
Features like Q-Flash (BIOS update from USB without CPU) and possibly debug LEDs or a small display to help troubleshoot boot issues.
Typically includes reinforced power connectors, solid capacitors, and extra protections for long-term reliability.
9. Ideal Use Cases
High-end gaming builds with powerful GPUs (1440p/4K, high refresh rate).
Streaming + gaming on one PC.
Content creation: video editing, 3D work, music production, coding, etc.
Showpiece builds where a clean interior and white aesthetic matter a lot.
