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.

GIGABYTE X870E AERO X3D WOOD is an ATX motherboard for Socket AM5 designed for high-performance desktop systems. It supports AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors, offers four DDR5 DIMM slots with up to 256 GB memory capacity and a 16+2+2 digital VRM power design. The board provides multiple high-speed storage and expansion options including PCIe 5.0 slots, M.2 connectors, SATA III with RAID support, integrated Wi‑Fi 7 and multi-gigabit Ethernet, and USB4 connectivity for modern peripherals and content-creation workflows.

Advantages

The motherboard combines a robust VRM design and enhanced thermal features to support sustained CPU performance. PCIe 5.0-capable lanes and multiple M.2 slots enable ultra-fast NVMe storage and flexible expansion. Integrated Wi‑Fi 7 and dual multi-gigabit Ethernet ports deliver high-speed networking options. Screwless M.2 EZ-Latch and reinforced PCB thermal plate improve installation convenience and board stability for demanding builds.

How to use

Install the motherboard into an ATX-compatible case, mount a compatible Socket AM5 processor and install DDR5 memory modules in the recommended DIMM slots for dual-channel operation. Fit M.2 NVMe drives into the EZ-Latch slots and connect SATA drives as needed. Attach cooling and power connectors according to the manual, then install the OS and chipset drivers supplied by the motherboard manufacturer to enable full feature support such as RAID, networking and BIOS updates.

Recommendations

For stable performance with high-core-count Ryzen processors and overclocking, use an adequate CPU cooler and quality power supply, populate DDR5 memory in matched pairs for dual-channel operation, and ensure M.2 drives receive proper cooling from the thermal plate. Keep BIOS and drivers up to date for optimal compatibility and network performance.
