Gigabyte B650M GAMING X AX

Miniature micro-ATX motherboard tuned to work with new generation AMD Ryzen processors and DDR5 RAM. The board is equipped with AMD AM5 processor sockets and is compatible with the Ryzen 5/7/9 family of CPUs based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture introduced in 2022. It has modern equipment and a moderately productive 11-phase power subsystem, so it can serve as the foundation for a solid gaming build with an eye to the future.

At the same time, the use of DDR5 RAM with support for EXPO technology and high-speed M.2 SSDs operating on the PCI-E 4.0 bus may be of interest to specialized specialists in programming, editing, rendering, modeling, etc. The Gigabyte B650M GAMING X AX connector set includes 2 M.2 slots with heatsinks for connecting reactive SSD drives, 4 SATA3 connectors for standard drives and an armored PCI-E slot for a video card.

Fast data exchange with minimal delays will help organize a network controller from Realtek with a bandwidth of 2.5 GB / s. Also on board there is a built-in module that can work in Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless networks. Accessories include a TMP connector, an integrated RAID controller, and additional video outputs (HDMI and DisplayPort) that come in handy when connecting a monitor to the built-in Radeon Vega graphics card in Ryzen processors. Given the gaming nature of this model, the developers from Gigabyte generously covered it with connectors for LED strips, case fans and a water pump.
