Oh boy I sure can't wait for people to pair an incredibly expensive unnecessary motherboard with their X3D chip because they thought that was necessary.

If I wanted my usage scenario adapted in real-time I'd get drunk or something. Can it be disabled?

- 1 x front HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1080@30 Hz => internal mainboard hdmi header -- I assume for those cheap case displays. But what do i do with a 1920x1080 @ 30Hz HDMI connector which can not drive properly any common Case display resolutions these days?
* Support for HDMI 1.4 version

I think that board has a massive problem with lane sharing:

THIS is worth marking a press release for?

But releasing X870 Aorus Tachyon for 1DPC Memory OC that costs nearly 200€ less than ASUS Apex is not worth it?
I even checked GB's own press releases. Nothing on X870 Tachyon, but it's available in the EU since July 30.

At least the PCIe bifurcation is different for the X3D Elite and there aren't M.2 lanes taking lanes from the GPU, even if it doesn't matter.

I mean... I don't go out of my way to buy ugly stuff? Motherboards can look nice too.

Waste of money imo. Rather go for better performance of the motherboard, better vrms or better stock nvme cooling solutions and such

...which the cheaper boards often lack, so I don't get your line of thinking here. I'm not out here buying Godlike or Apex boards, I just like a nice LiveMixer look.

Are these slotted in above or below the Master in the product stack?

It looks like a full stack refresh. Gigabyte has an X870E Aorus Xtreme AI TOP X3D in the works as seen in the bottom of www.gigabyte.com/us/Consumer/gigabyte-event .

One possibility could be a refresh in anticipation of Zen 6. However, I do not recommend buying these for Zen 6 until Zen 6 is released in case Zen 6 can run CUDIMMs with their clock drivers engaged instead of left in bypass mode and these boards can’t do that. Unless someone leaks this information, we should not buy these boards for Zen 6 until Zen 6 launches and we can see if these boards can fully utilize all of Zen 6’s capabilities or not.

Another possibility is to have a refresh to have an improved lineup after its previous top end model of its X870E lineup had an embarrassing quality problem such as design errors like not designing in enough tolerance for manufacturing variations or manufacturing errors that resulted in inadequately-cooled south bridges as seen in www.techpowerup.com/334478/owners-of-gigabyte-x870e-aorus-xtreme-ai-top-boards-report-100-c-chipset-temps . Some people don’t want to gamble with buying models with widespread manufacturing or design errors without a new model number or new revision number that has a fix in place.

Got the normal X870E Pro Ice, This looks like quite a upgrade and I would assume a big price increase over it.

A look through it's gone from 6 layer to 8
2 more VRM
Added 65W USB Power Delivery
All 4 M.2 can be populated and the graphics slot stays at 16X
-Pro Ice - 3x Gen 5 M.2 on the CPU, using either of the two shared with the graphics card switches it to 8x mode, 1 Gen4 on the Chipset
-Pro X3D Ice - 2x Gen 5 M.2 on the CPU, using the second shares lanes with the USB 4 controller, limiting it to 2x Gen5, 2 Gen4 on the Chipset
5G Lan over 2.5G
Oh and a big back plate and the bios chip sized has doubled, Guess for whatever they are doing with the X3D Turbo Mode 2.0.

Though I don't use X3D Turbo Mode 1.0, don't really see any point.

I forgot about a third possibility in my previous post: Gigabyte possibly wants the refresh in time for a possible rumored upcoming Zen 5 dual X3D CPU, so it wants to beef up the VRMs to make them run cooler and be stronger at overclocking. I tried to edit the previous post, but the editing time limit had expired. and I am not allowed to edit it anymore.

I noticed something in the specs a few hours ago: for the Master X3D (both the released ICE version and the upcoming non-ICE version if the manual is correct) and the Xtreme X3D AI Top: they do not support full multi-bit ECC unlike the non-X3D predecessors. I guess that this is one feature that pure gamers don't usually care about, but some workstation users would care about. If you install ECC modules in an X3D motherobard, the memory will work, but the full ECC support on the DIMMs will be wasted.
