Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX AM5 ATX Motherboard

The Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX is an ATX motherboard that gives Ryzen builders a balanced mix of performance headroom, convenient expansion, and streamlined setup. Sitting on the AMD AM5 platform, it welcomes Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors, so you can start with today’s chips and still have a path for future upgrades.

Four DDR5 DIMM slots open the door to as much as 128GB of memory, letting gamers, content creators, and multitaskers keep heavy projects moving without slowdown. Whether you are compiling code, rendering video, or managing a sprawling set of browser tabs, the board keeps the data flowing efficiently.

Storage options are generous and fast. Three M.2 slots include one that runs on PCIe 5.0 for the latest solid-state drives, while the remaining slots use PCIe 4.0. Add four SATA ports and you have the freedom to mix high-speed boot drives with large-capacity archival storage in the same build.

Networking and I/O keep pace with modern workloads. Onboard Wi-Fi 6E brings low-latency wireless bandwidth, and the integrated 2.5Gb Ethernet port offers a wired option for competitive gaming or quick file transfers on a local network. Two rear USB-C ports deliver 20Gb/s and 10Gb/s speeds, so external SSDs and capture devices stay responsive.

Cooling and durability have been thought through carefully. A full-coverage MOSFET heatsink partners with the M.2 Thermal Guard and Smart Fan 6 controls to hold temperatures in check during long gaming sessions or sustained rendering jobs. The integrated I/O shield and EZ-Latch design make installation straightforward, even if it is your first time working inside a case.

RGB support ties the build together visually, and the user-friendly BIOS helps you dial in memory profiles, fan curves, and voltage settings without guesswork. From a clean home office rig to a showpiece gaming tower, this board adapts easily.
