GIGABYTE has announced the new B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE, expanding its anime-themed AORUS ARI lineup with a full-sized ATX motherboard designed to blend bold aesthetics with enthusiast-level gaming performance.
Following the popularity of the earlier m-ATX B850 AORUS ARI motherboard, the latest addition builds on the concept by combining anime-inspired styling with flagship-grade features for gamers, creators, and PC enthusiasts.
According to GIGABYTE, the motherboard represents a new generation of PC hardware where self-expression and high performance are no longer separate priorities.
Anime-Inspired Design Meets PC Building Culture
The B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE features one of the most visually distinctive anime-inspired designs currently available on the B850 motherboard platform.
Adding to the collector appeal, each motherboard includes an exclusive ARI doll blind box accessory, turning the unboxing process into part of the overall enthusiast experience.
GIGABYTE says the motherboard is designed for builders who see their PCs not just as gaming machines, but also as a reflection of personal style and identity.
Built for AMD Ryzen 9000 Series Performance
Beyond its aesthetics, the motherboard is built around AMD’s Socket AM5 platform and supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 Series processors.
The board is anchored by three major performance-focused technologies:
● X3D Turbo Mode for enhanced gaming performance
● Digital Twin 16+2+2 Phase VRM for stable power delivery under heavy workloads
● DDR5 overclocking support up to 8200 MT/s powered by AI-enhanced D5 Bionic Corsa technology
These features position the motherboard as a strong option for gamers and enthusiasts looking to push high-end AMD processors and DDR5 memory to their limits.
Fast Connectivity and PCIe 5.0 Storage Support
Connectivity is another major focus of the new motherboard. The B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE includes:
● 5GbE LAN for faster wired networking
● Wi-Fi 7 support
● Directional ultra-high-gain antenna for improved wireless performance
For storage, the board includes four M.2 slots, including one PCIe 5.0 x4 slot designed to support the latest generation of ultra-fast SSDs.
This allows the motherboard to handle demanding gaming, content creation and multitasking workflows while reducing storage bottlenecks and improving loading speeds.
Tool-Free DIY Features Simplify PC Building
GIGABYTE has also focused heavily on improving the PC building experience with several user-friendly hardware features.
The motherboard’s EZ-Latch Plus system allows tool-free removal of PCIe and M.2 devices, while the M.2 EZ-Latch Click 2 mechanism lets users remove M.2 heatsinks without needing a screwdriver.
The company has also redesigned Wi-Fi antenna installation with WIFI EZ-Plug, replacing the traditional screw-on connector design with a simplified quick-connect system.
These changes aim to make the building and upgrading process faster and less frustrating for both experienced enthusiasts and first-time builders.
Launching at COMPUTEX 2026
COMPUTEX 2026 attendees will be able to see the B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE showcased at the GIGABYTE booth during the event.
GIGABYTE says the motherboard will be available shortly after COMPUTEX 2026, with full specifications and additional product details available on the official website.
