For PC builders who view their rig as an extension of their personality, GIGABYTE is doubling down on its anime-inspired designs. The company has officially announced the B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE, the latest motherboard to join the AORUS ARI lineup. Following the success of the previous microATX version, this new release brings the striking white PCB and cultural energy of the ARI brand to a full ATX platform.
Flagship Features on a B850 Board
While the anime aesthetic is the main draw, GIGABYTE hasn’t compromised on the hardware. Built on AMD’s Socket AM5, the board supports Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors. To ensure stable power delivery even under heavy loads, it features a robust Digital Twin 16+2+2 Phase VRM.
For performance tuning, the board supports GIGABYTE’s X3D Turbo Mode for enhanced gaming framerates, alongside AI-enhanced D5 Bionic Corsa technology that allows for DDR5 memory overclocking up to a blazing 8200 MT/s.
Modern Connectivity and DIY-Friendly Design
The B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE is fully equipped for modern gaming and creative workflows. It includes:
- Four total M.2 slots, including one ultra-fast PCIe 5.0 x4 slot.
- A 5GbE LAN port for high-speed wired networking.
- Wi-Fi 7 capabilities paired with a directional ultra-high-gain antenna.
GIGABYTE has also focused heavily on making the build process painless. The board features the EZ-Latch Plus system for tool-free graphics card removal, and the M.2 EZ-Latch Click 2 mechanism which allows users to remove the M.2 heatsinks without needing a screwdriver. Additionally, the traditional screw-on Wi-Fi antenna has been replaced by the quick-connect WIFI EZ-Plug.
The B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE will be showcased at COMPUTEX 2026 and is expected to hit retail markets shortly after the event.
