Review: Bluetooth galère - La MAJ bios semble réduire les évènements de déconnexion mais il y en a toujours, chaque fois la souris et le clavier sont deco donc redémarrage manuelle et ca remarche. Ça fait ieche quand même car j'ai prévu un wake on lan pour éviter toute interaction physique avec le pc mais bon ca marche quand même la plupart du temps. Pour le reste bas j'attendais des températures plus élevée avec le 3200g (qui fonctionne dès la sortie de boîte sans maj d'ailleurs). La carte est solide et le heatsink du m.2 de devant a l'air de tres bonne qualité malgré que je ne l'ai pas encore testé. Globalement pour le prix ce serait un excellent produit (5 étoiles) s'il n'y avait pas de problème bluetooth. Review: It works but still it is THE worst decision i have ever made - A llllot of problems with thia motherboard with no fixes. We talking about unstable under/overclock, Bluetooth disappearing from the system entirely without clear reason with weird fixes like unplugging the power cable and pressing on the start button which fixes it (i know how wired) and all of sudden the PC crash and when it auto restart it wont it get stock at the logo screen u need to force stop it and start it agin and when it turn on guess what? Bluetooth gone agin. Just go pick up ASUS or MSI. ## Features - Supports 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Processors.Wireless Communication module: Bluetooth 5 - Dual Channel Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4, 2 DIMMs - Direct 8 Phases Digital Power with 90A Smart Power Stage - Advanced Thermal Design with Extended & Multi-Layered Heatsink and Thermal Baseplate - Ultra Durable PCIe 4.0 Ready x16 Slot.Dual Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x 4M. 2 with Thermal Guard.Onboard Intel WiFi 6 802.11ax 2T2R & BT5 with AORUS Antenna.AMP-UP Audio with ALC1220-VB and Nichicon Audio Capacitors for Rear 120dB SNR.Blazing Fast 2.5GbE LAN with Bandwidth Management.USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C & DisplayPort plus Dual HDMI Support ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Gigabyte | | CPU socket | Socket AM4 | | Chipset type | AMD B550 | | Compatible devices | Personal Computer | | Compatible processors | AMD Ryzen 5000 Series | | Ram memory technology | DDR4 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gigabyte - **CPU socket:** Socket AM4 - **Compatible devices:** Personal Computer - **Compatible processors:** AMD Ryzen 5000 Series - **Ram memory technology:** DDR4 ## Images ![GIGABYTE B550I AORUS PRO AX (AM4 AMD/B550/Mini-Itx/Dual M.2/SATA 6Gb/s/USB 3.2 Gen 1/WiFi 6/2.5 GbE LAN/PCIe4.0/Realtek ALC1220-Vb/DisplayPort 1.4/2xHDMI 2.0B/RGB Fusion 2.0/DDR4/Gaming Motherboard) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71coRQqo58L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Processor Description, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it support a GTX 1070?** A: This will support that graphics card yes.

Pros: For myself personally, the reasons for choosing this motherboard or a B550 board in general, is to have better/sooner support for the Ryzen 5000 series, along with things like PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2, and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. This board also features a very handy Q-Flash feature for flashing the BIOS without having anything aside from a power supply and a USB stick, so no need to worry about having a Ryzen 3000 series chip on-hand to flash the latest BIOS. The board also features a backplate that really makes it feel like a properly premium and sturdy product. Compared to its X570 sibling, this board is around $30 less expensive but does not lack anything notable in my opinion, aside from the M.2 slot on the back of the board being PCIe 3.0 whereas the X570 version has PCIe 4.0 on both M.2 slots. The B550 also does not have a chipset cooling fan, which to me is an advantage over the X570 because it eliminates a potential source of noise and premature failure. It’s also worth noting that the chipset fan on the X570 version takes up one of the 3 fan headers, whereas all 3 headers on this board are usable. The X570 version also appears to only have USB 3.1 Gen 2 and 1.0 Gigabit Ethernet. Cons: This board does not have any provisions for front panel USB-C ports, so beware if your case features any USB-C ports that will need to be connected to the motherboard. Officially, the B550 chipset only supports Ryzen 3000 series out of the box, with Ryzen 5000 support enabled via a BIOS update. On the other hand, the X570 version will support Ryzen 2000 series as well, so in that regard the B550 board does lack a bit of flexibility. Additional Notes: I picked up this motherboard with the intention of using it with a Ryzen 5000 series chip when I get around to buying one sometime next year. The reason for buying this board now is mainly because availability for this board has been very inconsistent until recently, so I figured it would be wise to buy one while it’s readily available. I’m currently using a Ryzen 2700X which isn’t officially supported by the B550 chipset, so I was originally going to leave this board on the shelf until I got a Ryzen 5000 series CPU. I saw a few reports of people getting 2000 series CPUs to work in B550 boards, though they were few and far in between. However, I was going to go ahead and flash this board to BIOS version F10 to enable Ryzen 5000 support, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to check if my 2700X will post in this board while I’m at it. The board was probably preloaded with the F1 or F2 BIOS out of the box, and I got nothing but a black screen when I tried to boot. However, after flashing to the F10 BIOS, I was massively surprised to see that it was able to post, and everything seemed to function normally in the BIOS. I proceeded to go a step further and installed my boot drive to see if it will boot into Windows, and I couldn’t quite believe my eyes when it reached desktop without any noticeable issues, and without reinstalling Windows or any of the drivers. Fast forward to today, and I’m running the F11b BIOS from October 19 with “additional optimizations” for Ryzen 5000 series, which actually enabled XMP for me, something that wasn’t working on the F10 BIOS. I have now reinstalled Windows and have been fine-tuning all the details without any problems whatsoever. I couldn’t be any happier with this board, everything from its features and construction to the unexpected support for older chips like mine. I would also like to add that the F10 BIOS which enabled Ryzen 5000 support was released on September 18, before the Ryzen 5000 series was even announced. I don’t see how Gigabyte could possibly have been further ahead of the curve when it comes to product support, and they have done a truly excellent job with this board. ## Frequently Bought Together - GIGABYTE B550I AORUS PRO AX (AM4 AMD/B550/Mini-Itx/Dual M.2/SATA 6Gb/s/USB 3.2 Gen 1/WiFi 6/2.5 GbE LAN/PCIe4.0/Realtek ALC1220-Vb/DisplayPort 1.4/2xHDMI 2.0B/RGB Fusion 2.0/DDR4/Gaming Motherboard) - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16-20-20-38 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/260367021-gigabyte-b550i-aorus-pro-ax-am4-amd-b550-mini-itx](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/260367021-gigabyte-b550i-aorus-pro-ax-am4-amd-b550-mini-itx) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
