Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI7 ICE

Full-size ATX motherboard based on the B850 chipset, designed for universal system builds with modern Ryzen processors (series 7000, 8000, and 9000). It belongs to the mid-price segment and is part of the relatively new Eagle series that Gigabyte launched in the early 2020s. It stands out for its support of all current technologies, use of a reliable component base, and recognizable style in a light ICE finish.

The Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI7 ICE is positioned by the manufacturer as an excellent choice for average gamers who want to build a powerful and modern PC without overpaying for flagship solutions like the Aorus Elite. The power section is designed with a 16+2+1 scheme, providing stable power for any CPU up to the Ryzen 9. Heatsinks with an increased heat dissipation area cover both the VRM and chipset, ensuring stability under prolonged loads.

It supports DDR5 memory up to 8000 MHz with automatic tuning through XMP profiles and Gigabyte Memory Boost support, capable of delivering a solid acceleration to a gaming system or workstation. For installing drives, there are three M.2 slots provided, including one with PCI-E 5.0 support. A pleasant bonus is that all slots are equipped with heatsinks and thermal pads. The networking capabilities match the board's level: the LAN port has a bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps, and the wireless module can work with Wi-Fi 7 networks, maintaining backward compatibility with earlier protocol versions. Notably, the external appearance: the light ICE color scheme combines with minimalist design and highlights the neatness of a build in a white or transparent case. The board also features a pre-installed rear shield, reinforced PCI-E slots, and convenient elements for quick assembly.
