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 X870E AORUS PRO X3D is an ATX motherboard for AMD Socket AM5 processors (AMD Ryzen 7000/8000/9000). It features a digital twin 18+2+2 VRM design, four DDR5 DIMM slots supporting up to 256 GB (DDR5 OC up to 9000 MT/s), dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots plus two PCIe 4.0 expansions, and four M.2 connectors including PCIe 5.0 support. Integrated connectivity includes Wi‑Fi 7, 5GbE LAN, Dual USB4 Type-C with DP-Alt, HDMI output and a Front QC-USB 65W port. The board supports multiple storage interfaces (M.2, SATA III) with RAID 0/1/5/10 and uses a UEFI AMI BIOS.

Advantages

This motherboard combines high-end power delivery and advanced cooling solutions such as M.2 EZ-Flex and M.2 EZ-Latch for efficient SSD installation and heat dissipation. It offers extensive and modern connectivity — Wi‑Fi 7, 5GbE, USB4 and PCIe 5.0 — making it suitable for demanding gaming, content creation and workstation tasks. Memory overclocking support and a robust VRM enable stable performance under heavy CPU loads.

Suitable for

  • High-performance gaming builds
  • Content creation and video editing workstations
  • PC builds requiring multiple high-speed NVMe drives
  • Enthusiast overclocking and custom cooling setups

Key specifications

  • Form factor: ATX
  • Chipset: AMD X870E
  • Processor socket: Socket AM5 (supports AMD Ryzen 7000 / 8000 / 9000 series)
  • VRM: Digital twin 18+2+2 phases
  • Memory: 4× DDR5 DIMM slots, up to 256 GB, OC to 9000 MT/s
  • Expansion slots: 2× PCIe 5.0 x16, 2× PCIe 4.0
  • Storage: 4× M.2 (including PCIe 5.0 x4), SATA III, RAID 0/1/5/10
  • Networking: Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be), Bluetooth 5.4, 5GbE LAN (plus 2.5GbE options)
  • 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 an ATX-compatible case and mount an AMD Socket AM5 CPU according to the CPU and cooler manufacturer instructions. Populate DDR5 modules across the four DIMM slots following the manual for optimal channel configuration. Connect storage devices to M.2 slots or SATA ports and install graphics and expansion cards into PCIe slots. Attach the Wi‑Fi antenna(s) using the WIFI EZ-Plug design, connect power and front-panel cables, then update or configure the UEFI AMI BIOS as needed for memory XMP/EXPO profiles, boot order and RAID setup.

Recommendations

For stable overclocking and heavy multi-drive configurations, use a high-quality power supply and ensure adequate case airflow; apply the M.2 EZ-Flex and EZ-Latch features to secure and cool NVMe SSDs properly.
