Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2 AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard

The B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2 delivers professional-grade performance for AMD Ryzen 7000 and 8000 Series processors. Built on the AMD B650 chipset with Socket AM5, this ATX motherboard combines robust power delivery, advanced thermal management, and cutting-edge connectivity for gaming and content creation workstations.

Twin Digital VRM Power Design

Equipped with a Twin 12+2+2 Phases Digital VRM solution, this motherboard provides stable high-power delivery essential for overclocking and sustained heavy workloads. The all-digital power design ensures consistent performance under demanding conditions, while advanced thermal heatsinks maintain VRM stability during extended gaming sessions.

DDR5 Memory Performance

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 192GB of system memory with speeds reaching 8000 MT/s (OC). The motherboard features shielded memory routing within PCB inner layers and daisy-chained topology to eliminate stub effects. DDR5 Auto Booster provides one-click optimization from native 4800 to 5000 MT/s, while AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles enable instant performance tuning.

High-Speed Storage Connectivity

Three M.2 sockets deliver maximum storage flexibility: one PCIe 5.0 x4 slot (M2A_CPU) for next-generation SSDs, plus two PCIe 4.0 x4 slots (M2B_CPU and M2C_SB) supporting 25110/2580 form factors. M.2 Thermal Guard heatsinks maintain optimal SSD temperatures. The EZ-Latch quick-release mechanism enables tool-free installation. Four SATA 6Gb/s connectors with RAID 0/1/10 support provide additional storage options.

Advanced Networking

Realtek 2.5GbE LAN delivers wired network performance up to 2.5 Gbps. The integrated Realtek Wi-Fi 6E RTL8852CE module supports tri-band wireless (2.4/5/6 GHz) with 11ax 160MHz channels and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. Dual SMA antenna connectors ensure reliable wireless signal strength.

Comprehensive USB Connectivity

Rear I/O features USB Type-C with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gb/s), two red USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, five USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and four USB 2.0 ports. Internal headers include USB Type-C with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support (20Gb/s) for front panel connectivity, plus additional USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 headers.

Display and Expansion

Integrated graphics support includes DisplayPort 1.4 (3840x2160@144Hz) and HDMI (4096x2160@60Hz). One PCIe x16 slot supports PCIe 4.0 x16/x8/x4 depending on CPU, with two additional PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for expansion cards. Realtek Audio CODEC provides 7.1-channel HD audio output.

Smart Thermal Management

Smart Fan 6 technology features multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP capability. Six fan headers (CPU, CPU/pump, three system, one system/pump) enable precise cooling control for air and liquid cooling configurations.

Q-Flash Plus BIOS Update

Update BIOS firmware without installing CPU, memory, or graphics card using the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button on the rear I/O panel. The 256 Mbit flash stores AMI UEFI BIOS with support for Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit.
