Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX

Compact motherboard from Gigabyte, tailored for gaming builds based on new generation Ryzen processors (7000 series and above), high-grade M.2 drives and DDR5 RAM, which flooded into the mainstream market in 2022. Included in the overclocker series of Aorus Elite products, however, in terms of price, equipment level and positioning, it belongs more to the middle class. Designed for demanding gamers and manual overclockers who are looking for a powerful and well-balanced motherboard without paying extra for second or third order features.

Equipped with an AMD AM5 processor socket and tailored to work with Ryzen 7000-series processors (Zen 4 architecture), which AMD launched at the end of 2022. Despite its compact size, it is equipped with a high-performance 15-phase digital VRM power converter, which is designed to meet the rather high power requirements that Ryzen 7000 processors put on motherboards. It is distinguished by a well-thought-out layout of components, which imposes a minimum of restrictions when assembling components in cramped conditions.

Supports the installation of four DDR5 RAM modules with a maximum frequency operating at a maximum frequency of 6600 MHz (maximum capacity is 128 GB). The layout of the slots makes it possible to install a pair of high-speed M.2 SSDs (PCI-E 4.0 / 5.0 bus) and four standard HDD and SSD drives connected via SATA3 bus into the system. In addition, the board stands out for its modern visual design, a large number of connectors for LED strips and water pumps, and a steel connector that prevents possible deformation of a heavy and massive video card. Thanks to these factors, the Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX can become a reliable basis for a fairly powerful gaming PC assembled in a compact Mini Tower, Desktop or Cube Case format.
