The second revision of the successful full-size ATX gaming motherboard based on the 2020 AMD B550 chipset. Just like its predecessor, it is equipped with an AMD AM4 processor socket and is positioned as a mid-range model. It is one of the most affordable mid-range motherboards from the famous Gigabyte AORUS family of overclocking products. Designed for use in compact gaming and overclocking systems at a reasonable cost.

Compatible with 4-, 6-, 8-, 12- and 16-core AMD Ryzen 3000/5000 (Matisse/Vermeer, 7nm) and Ryzen 4000 (Renoir, 7nm) APUs. Unlike the previous generation models based on the B450 chipset, there is support for the PCI-E Gen4 x16 system interface, which doubles the speed of texture loading in new models of gaming graphics cards and doubles the data transfer speed with high-speed NVMe SSDs.

The Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 motherboard is equipped with a powerful 14-phase CPU VRM power supply subsystem, the margin of safety of which is enough for flawlessly stable operation of the system and bold overclocking experiments. Thanks to four DIMM slots, an impressive total amount of RAM is supported (up to 128 GB DDR4 at up to 4733 MHz). Equipped with M.2 SSD heatsink, supports 2.5GbE LAN network interface.

Homework Review

Gigabyte has successfully penetrated the motherboard segment by introducing unique models in the Aorus line, which stand out from the competition. Notable achievements include the affordable overclocking board Aorus Elite, designed for AMD. This time we're reviewing the second version of this board, which features a larger form factor (note: ATX instead of micro-ATX), an improved power supply, and other improvements.

Advanced 14-Phase Digital Power System

The AORUS ELITE V2, like its predecessor, is based on the mid-range AMD B550, but with important differences. In the second revision, the previous 8-phase power supply was replaced with a more powerful 14-phase one, DisplayPort was added to the existing HDMI, the quality of the built-in sound was increased, the LAN port was improved to 2.5 Gbps, and additional connectors and contacts for LED strips were added. and water cooling systems.

Excellent combination of price and quality

The slot layout includes three PCI-E x16 slots (one of which supports PCI-E 4.0), two M.2 connectors for high-speed NVMe SSDs (both with PCI-E 4.0 support), and four SATA3 ports. Four DIMM slots can accommodate up to 128 GB of DDR4-4733 memory. Gigabyte has created an impressively balanced motherboard for AMD socket AM4 processors that costs almost half as much as current AM5-based models. If you don't want to overpay for systems based on AM5 + Ryzen 7000 + DDR5, the Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 is an excellent choice for creating powerful mid-to-high-end gaming systems.
