Motherboard
I went with the Gigabyte X870I AORUS Pro ICE because I needed two M.2 slots for editing storage, and the I/O is pretty decent with USB 3.2 and USB-C. I didn’t care too much about looks since you barely see it in the case, but the all-white design actually looks really clean when you do catch a glimpse of it.
Pros
- +Supports two M.2 drives (huge for editing storage)
- +Decent rear I/O with USB 3.2 and USB-C
- +Clean all-white look
Cons
- -Second M.2 slot on the back means you have to remove/flip the board to install
What Justin Tech says
“Starting with the motherboard, I went with the Gigabyte X870i Aurorus Pro Ice”
“So, I flipped over the board, mounted it, and screwed it in with the included screw that comes with the motherboard”
“Before mounting the motherboard in the case, I installed the bracket for my cooler, the Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 Pro 280”
“If you're also building in the NKM2, I recommend installing the standoffs onto the motherboard first”
“I got this tip from the goat himself, Optimum Tech, as I was following his build guide during this video because I had no idea what I was doing, and it made mounting it to the motherboard tray way easier”
