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 X870 AORUS ELITE X3D ICE is an ATX motherboard for Socket AM5 systems, engineered for high-performance desktop builds. It supports AMD Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 series processors and up to 256 GB of DDR5 memory across four DIMM slots. The board includes a digital twin 16+2+2 phase VRM, multiple M.2 and PCIe slots (including PCIe 5.0 x4 support), dual USB4 Type-C ports with DisplayPort Alternate Mode, HDMI output, Wi‑Fi 7 and 2.5GbE networking to meet demanding workloads and expandability requirements.

Advantages

The motherboard combines advanced power delivery, extensive high-speed storage options and modern connectivity in a single ATX design. Thermal features such as VRM Thermal Armor and M.2 Thermal Guard L improve cooling for sustained performance. Screwless EZ-Latch and EZ-Latch Click mechanisms simplify installation of PCIe and M.2 devices, while WiFi EZ-Plug eases antenna setup. These elements together provide a stable platform for gaming, content creation and professional applications.

Suitable for

  • High-end gaming PCs using AMD Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 CPUs
  • Content creation and video editing workstations
  • Expandable desktop systems requiring multiple M.2 drives and PCIe lanes
  • Users needing fast networking with Wi‑Fi 7 or 2.5GbE

Key specifications

  • Form factor: ATX
  • Chipset: AMD X870
  • CPU support: AMD Socket AM5 — Ryzen 7000 / 8000 / 9000 Series
  • VRM: Digital twin 16+2+2 phase solution
  • Memory: 4× DIMM, DDR5-SDRAM, up to 256 GB, AMD EXPO support
  • Storage: 4× M.2 (including 3× PCIe 5.0 x4), SATA III, RAID support, up to 6 storage drives
  • Expansion: Multiple PCIe slots with EZ-Latch Plus (screwless design)
  • Networking: Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) with directional ultra-high gain antenna, Bluetooth 5.4, 2.5GbE LAN
  • Rear I/O: Dual USB4 Type-C with DP-Alt, HDMI
  • Audio: Realtek ALC1220-VB 7.1 channels
  • BIOS: UEFI AMI 512 Mbit, ACPI 5.0, Clear CMOS jumper and button

How to use

Install the motherboard into a compatible ATX case and mount a Socket AM5 CPU following the processor manufacturer’s installation instructions. Populate up to four DDR5 DIMMs, install M.2 drives into the designated slots and connect power, front-panel headers and storage cables as required. Use the EZ-Latch and EZ-Latch Click features for screwless installation of PCIe and M.2 devices. Configure BIOS/UEFI settings after first power-on to verify memory profiles (AMD EXPO), storage mode and boot order.

Recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, ensure good case airflow and attach the included directional Wi‑Fi 7 antenna using the WiFi EZ‑Plug. Update the UEFI to the latest version for improved CPU and memory compatibility before installing critical software or large workloads.
