Aorus X870 Elite WiFi 7 Motherboard Review

The new generation of socket AM5 Ryzen 9000 Series processors are shaping up to be the go-to platform for hardware enthusiasts.  Of course, here have been AMD zealots for years singing the praise of the Zen core since the inception back in 2017 but, at the time, Intel was better.  While it would seem that the tides are changing and while Intel can still knock back some massive memory overclocks there is more to life than memory speed.
