Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE

A compact and modern Micro-ATX motherboard aimed at gamers and enthusiasts who would like to assemble a powerful and high-performance gaming PC in a compact case. It is part of the overclocker Aorus Elite series of products, but in terms of price, equipment level and positioning it belongs rather to the middle class, as evidenced by the use of the B650 chipset instead of the flagship X670.

Despite minor limitations in terms of overclocking, the chipset is a good compromise between functionality and cost, providing the user with modern capabilities, including support for the PCI-E 5.0 interface and DDR5-8000 RAM. The board is equipped with four DDR5 slots, in which you can install up to 192 GB of RAM with support for XMP and EXPO technologies. The board offers two M.2 slots (1x5.0, 1x4.0) for connecting SSD drives, allowing the user to create high-speed configurations for storing data.

Additionally, the user is provided with four SATA III ports for connecting traditional drives. Despite its compact size, the Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE is equipped with a high-performance 16-phase digital VRM power converter, which is designed with an eye on the high power consumption of Ryzen 7000, 8000 or 9000 series processors. In addition, the board is distinguished by the use of high-quality components, thoughtful component layout and additional cooling of critical areas, led by VRM. The snow-white color of the board and the built-in Gigabyte RGB Fusion backlight should attract the attention of owners of snow-white cases.
