Tom's Hardware reviewed Gigabyte's X870 Aorus Infinity, a 40th-anniversary limited-edition AM5 board priced at $799.99. The review notes the board is built for overclockers: the right edge is lined with buttons and voltage read points, and an external BCLK generator plus a two-DIMM layout prioritize memory speed over capacity. Gigabyte lists support for DDR5-11400(OC), though the reviewer cautions it requires manual tweaking, specialized BIOS tuning, and an APU with a strong memory controller.
Beyond overclocking, the board offers eight rear USB ports including one USB4, three M.2 sockets (one PCIe 5.0), 5 GbE, Wi-Fi 7, and a Realtek ALC1220 codec. The layout rotates the socket area 90 degrees, moving DRAM slots above the socket and the primary M.2 to the right. Tom's Hardware found performance average-to-above-average in daily tasks and gaming, and praised the included thermal plates that can cut VRM and RAM temperatures by up to 8.5 degrees Celsius.
However, the review flags two drawbacks: the price is high for an X870 board, and the M.2 socket shares lanes with the sole USB4 port. The verdict is that the Infinity blends extreme overclocking ability with good all-around features and aesthetics, but buyers will pay up for the limited-edition flexibility.
