Has anyone tried the Gigabyte X870I MB?
I only need to choose a MB for my build and I had two requirements in mind:
- A board with thunderbolt because I have 5Gb Ethernet and I want to connect a 10Gb adapter (I heard you need a thunderbolt 3 for this so correct me if I’m wrong, and I hope I'm wrong bc it gives me more options).
- PCIe 5.0 support for the graphics cards the will come out.
So, it left me with these options (lmk if I missed any):
- Asus X670E-I
- Asus X870I
- Gigabyte X870I
seeing everything that these boards have to offer (and their prices) it looks like the Gigabyte one is a no brainer, but I haven't seen anyone talking about their experience with this board yet.
and do you think we'll see interesting ITX boards at CES2025? I heard that B850 boards are on the way to but idk when they will reveal them.
I really wish there was a ProArt ITX board...
