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 AORUS Z890 TACHYON ICE is an E-ATX motherboard built on the Z890 chipset with an LGA1851 CPU socket. It supports modern high-bandwidth peripheral standards including USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB4, and provides integrated wireless connectivity with Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi 7. Multiple high-speed wired networking ports (5 Gigabit Ethernet) and support for onboard graphics via a compatible CPU expand its suitability for both gaming and professional workstation builds.

Advantages

The board combines a wide set of connectivity options and a large E-ATX layout to accommodate robust cooling solutions and multiple expansion cards. Native support for next-generation USB standards and USB4 enables fast external storage and peripheral connections. Integrated Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth simplify wireless setup, while multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports allow flexible network topologies and redundancy. The LGA1851 socket and Z890 chipset provide a platform for high-performance CPUs and memory configurations.

Suitable for

  • High-performance gaming systems requiring extensive I/O and networking.
  • Content creation workstations handling large files and external media.
  • Home or small office servers needing multiple wired network interfaces.
  • Enthusiast builds with multi-GPU or PCIe expansion requirements.

Key specifications

  • Form factor: E-ATX
  • Chipset: Z890
  • CPU socket: LGA1851 (supports compatible processors)
  • Rear and internal USB: USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB4
  • Wireless: Integrated Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi 7
  • Wired networking: Five Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • Onboard graphics support: Requires compatible CPU with integrated graphics

How to use

Install a compatible LGA1851 processor according to the motherboard and CPU manufacturer instructions, and secure memory modules and cooling hardware appropriate for an E-ATX board. Connect power supply ATX/EPS connectors, front panel headers and storage devices through the provided SATA or PCIe interfaces. Configure BIOS/UEFI settings to enable onboard features such as USB4, integrated Wi‑Fi and networking ports, and adjust memory/XMP or performance profiles as needed. Install device drivers for the operating system to ensure full functionality of USB controllers, wireless adapters and Ethernet ports.

Recommendations

For stable high-performance operation, use a compatible high-current power supply, adequate airflow or custom cooling for the larger E-ATX layout, and ensure the CPU chosen provides onboard graphics if integrated display output is required. Keep BIOS and drivers up to date to maintain compatibility with USB4 and Wi‑Fi 7 features.
