Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 is an ATX motherboard designed for Socket AM4 systems, based on the AMD B550 chipset. It supports AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors and up to 128 GB DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots, with overclocking support up to 4733 MHz (OC). The board features a 12+2 phases digital power design, dual PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots for high-speed NVMe storage, WiFi 6E wireless connectivity and 2.5GbE LAN for fast wired networks. This motherboard targets users who need stable performance and modern connectivity for gaming, content creation and general high-performance PC builds.

Advantages

The 12+2 phases digital power design provides stable power delivery for modern Ryzen CPUs, improving system reliability under load. Dual M.2 PCIe 3.0 slots allow installation of high-speed NVMe drives for faster boot and application load times. Integrated WiFi 6E and 2.5GbE LAN offer flexible high-bandwidth network options. Support for up to 128 GB DDR4 memory and multi-GPU/expansion support via ATX layout ensures versatility for gaming and productivity setups.

Suitable for

  • Gaming PCs with AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors
  • Content creation and video editing workstations
  • High-performance home or office PCs requiring fast storage and networking

Key specifications

  • Form factor: ATX
  • Chipset: AMD B550
  • Processor socket: Socket AM4 (supports AMD Ryzen 5000 Series)
  • Memory: 4 x DDR4 DIMM slots, up to 128 GB, up to 4733 MHz (OC)
  • Power design: 12+2 phases digital VRM
  • Storage: 2 x PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots
  • Expansion: PCIe slots per ATX layout (see manufacturer for full slot configuration)
  • Networking: WiFi 6E, 2.5GbE LAN
  • Supported memory type: DDR4-SDRAM
  • Weight: 1.12 kg

How to use

Install the motherboard into a compatible ATX case and mount a Socket AM4-compatible Ryzen CPU following the CPU cooler and socket manufacturer instructions. Populate up to four DDR4 DIMMs, install NVMe drives into the M.2 slots, connect storage and power cables to the PSU, and attach front-panel connectors. Update the BIOS to the latest version for optimal Ryzen 5000 Series support and configure memory XMP/OC settings in BIOS if required. Install the latest drivers for chipset, LAN and WiFi after the operating system is set up.

Recommendations

Use a quality CPU cooler and a PSU with sufficient wattage; ensure BIOS is updated before installing a Ryzen 5000 Series CPU. For best networking performance enable WiFi 6E on compatible routers and use a 2.5GbE-capable switch or router to take advantage of faster wired LAN speeds.
