GIGABYTE B550M X AORUS ELITE

GIGABYTE B550M X AORUS ELITE
The GIGABYTE B550M X AORUS ELITE motherboard provides a stable foundation for a PC build featuring 3rd, 4th and 5th Gen AMD Ryzen processors. The Micro ATX form factor, measuring 244mm×244mm, delivers modern technology, rich connectivity and reliable power delivery. The manufacturer has designed the PCB with an emphasis on high component durability under long-term load to maintain trouble-free operation. The PCIe EZ-Latch makes graphics card installation easy, letting you release the card from the slot without using tools. The Q-Flash Plus feature lets you update the BIOS with only the power supply connected, without needing a processor, graphics card or RAM installed. GIGABYTE Control Center software simplifies overall system management.

Power delivery, stability and efficient VRM cooling
The GIGABYTE B550M X AORUS ELITE motherboard uses an 8+2 phase hybrid digital power system featuring 60A DrMOS components. This advanced solution delivers stable power to multi-core processors without unwanted fluctuations. The design with solid pins in the power connectors increases electrical conductivity and dissipates heat effectively. The all-metal VRM Thermal Armor Advanced heatsink keeps the VRM temperatures low. In addition, the Smart Fan 6 system lets you configure fan curves precisely for quiet and efficient operation.
Premium ALC1220 audio
The audio subsystem uses the premium Realtek ALC1220 codec, which provides clean audio reproduction. The board features high-end audio capacitors and a dedicated Audio Noise Guard. This technology isolates sensitive audio circuitry from electromagnetic interference caused by other components.
Fast storage, high-speed networking and modern connectivity
The board features two M.2 slots for fast SSDs, with the primary slot supporting the high-bandwidth PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. The second slot operates on the PCIe 3.0 interface for additional storage drives. Standard storage media are handled by four SATA III ports with support for RAID 0, 1 and 10 arrays. An integrated Realtek 2.5Gbps Ethernet controller ensures a fast network connection, minimising latency during data transfer. The rear panel features a modern USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard alongside other USB ports. HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs provide display connectivity for processors with integrated graphics.
