Lay a robust foundation for your next PC build using the Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2 ATX Motherboard. The B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2 uses an AM5 socket that supports AMD 7000 series CPUs and has compatibility with a wide range of components.

ATX Form Factor    AMD B650 Chipset    AM5 Socket    4 x Dual-Channel DDR5-4000 (OC)    4 x SATA III, 2 x M.2    1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 Slot    2 x PCIe 3.0 x1 Slots    7.1-Channel Realtek ALC897 Codec    Wi-Fi 6E | Bluetooth 5.3 | 2.5 GbE    USB-C and USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 Ports

EZ-Latch designs lead to easier installation for the NVMe M.2 SSDs and graphics card. Solid heatsinks keep your system cooler with no additional effort from you using its multi-cut design that creates more surface area for dissipating heat. Additionally, the M.2 thermal guard helps prevent throttling and bottlenecks from higher speed Gen 5 SSDs.

This motherboard supports up to 192GB of 8000 MT/s dual-channel DDR5 memory in overclocked mode across four slots. AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 user profiles make overclocking and achieving better performance easier. Your RAM is protected against interference thanks to shielded memory routing that uses the PCB's inner layer, and daisy-chained routing enables higher frequencies for a faster and denser system.

The single DisplayPort and single HDMI ports can be used for CPUs with integrated graphics. A single USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port and dual USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports provide up to 10 Gb/s speeds, five USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports offer 5 Gb/s speeds, and the four USB-A 2.0 ports work well with peripherals like keyboards and mice. Set up a wired connection to the internet using the 2.5 GbE Ethernet Port or a wireless connection using the Wi-Fi 6E antenna connector. With support for Realtek Audio's 7.1-channel ALC897 codec, you can attach headphones, a headset, a microphone, or speakers using the three 3.5mm audio jacks.

The single M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 and single M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD slots are available in addition to four SATA III ports for storage drives.

A single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot is perfect for a graphics card while two additional PCIe 3.0 slots operate in x1 mode ideal for network and port expansion cards.
