Press Release
GIGABYTE today announced the B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE, the newest addition to its AORUS ARI lineup and the brand’s boldest step yet into anime-inspired PC hardware. Building on the massive success of the m-ATX B850 AORUS ARI motherboard, GIGABYTE now brings the same cultural energy to a full ATX B850 platform — proving that self-expression and uncompromising performance are not a trade-off.
AORUS ARI Dolls
The GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE is more than a motherboard with an anime aesthetic — it is a cultural statement designed for a new generation of PC builders who demand both personality and power from their rigs. Featuring the most distinctive anime-inspired design on any B850 platform in the market today, the board ships with an exclusive ARI doll blind box accessory, turning the unboxing into an experience that rivals the build itself. For enthusiasts who see their rig as an extension of who they are, the AORUS ARI edition was not designed to fit their world — it was built from it.
Flagship-Grade Performance at Its Price Point
Beneath its striking exterior lies a platform engineered to outclass every competitor in its tier. The B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE is built on AMD Socket AM5 with support for AMD Ryzen™ 9000 / 8000 / 7000 Series Processors, and anchored by three performance pillars:
• X3D Turbo Mode for next-generation gaming performance
• Digital Twin 16+2+2 Phase VRM for clean, stable power delivery under sustained load
• DDR5 overclocking support up to 8200 MT/s, powered by AI-enhanced D5 Bionic Corsa technology
Connectivity is equally comprehensive. A 5GbE LAN port, Wi-Fi 7, and a directional ultra-high-gain antenna combine to deliver low-latency online gaming and fast wireless transfers. On the storage front, four M.2 slots — including a PCIe 5.0 ×4 slot — ensure the board keeps pace with the fastest SSDs available today, eliminating bottlenecks for both demanding creative workflows and fast-loading games.
Built Smarter: Intelligent, User-First Design
GIGABYTE has rethought every physical interaction point on the B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE. The EZ-Latch Plus system enables tool-free quick release for both PCIe and M.2 slots, while the M.2 EZ-Latch Click 2 mechanism allows M.2 heatsink removal without a screwdriver. Antenna setup is equally seamless: WIFI EZ-Plug replaces the fiddly threading process common on traditional boards with a clean, quick-connect design that takes seconds.
COMPUTEX 2026
The GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE motherboard will be on display at the GIGABYTE booth (#M0520) at COMPUTEX 2026.
Availability
GIGABYTE stated that the GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE is expected to launch shortly after COMPUTEX 2026, although the company has yet to confirm global availability. Based on previous releases, anime and waifu-themed motherboard variants such as the B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE-P and ASUS’ ROG STRIX X870-A GAMING WIFI S were primarily released in Asian markets. As such, it would not be surprising if the B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE follows a similar regional launch strategy.
