GIGABYTE B550M AORUS Elite AX (rev 1.3) AMD AM4 mATX Motherboard, Supports Ryzen 5000/4000/3000 Processors, DDR4, 5+3 Power Phase, 2X M.2, PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2, WIFI6E, GbE LAN, Q-Flash Plus, RGB Fusion

Easy to set up and everything worked perfectly out of the box. Stable performance, good Wi-Fi, and plenty of features for the price. Great choice for an AM4 build.

TL;DR: I'd recommend this board however it is important to keep in mind the clearance of the SATA ports if you're using a GPU. Been using Gigabyte boards for my main rig for the better part of a decade, so this board was a bit of a no brainer for the price. I was in the market for a new AM4 mATX board because unfortunately my B450 board did not have PBO2 so it wasn't allowing for my 5700X3D to properly spread its wings. The build went along swimmingly, Windows booted as if nothing happened, BIOS update went without a hitch, and I was finally able to tune my CPU! I usually prefer to buy motherboards with Intel WiFi but the Realtek adapter has been working great. It pains me to say this because it is partially my fault for not checking, but y'all can imagine my disappointment when I connected my GPU into the PCIE slot just to find out it covers 3 out of the 4 SATA ports!!! Keep in mind this is a 3060 ti which is not a triple slot card and it has two fans... So yeah I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't think to use 90° SATA connectors like my previous AORUS did but all this does is give me an excuse to buy the CM vertical GPU mount :p

esta muy buena es recontra fachera lo que si se me dificulto colocar los cables ya que los tenia en lugares medio raro

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this board after I was underwhelmed by the quality of a gigabyte b450 and a gigabyte 2060 in late 2018. They have definitely taken a step up in production value, or I just got 2 bad pieces. The board is good, sturdy, and easy to assemble on. I think they should have labeled the front panel IO header cables input better (I had to check the manual to see which connection it was) and the board is also missing USB-C compatibility. Likewise, I had to update my bios in order to undervolt my 5800x3D, which while fine, was a bit tedious especially for a board that claims to be 5000 series ready. I also cannot access the bios by pressing f12 or del in the boot screen, and instead have to hold shift while restarting and access UEFI settings in windows troubleshoot mode. Again, not a huge deal, but still a tad annoying. Overall I am relatively pleased with the board, but it is missing some quality of life features that would have made a beginner be a little confused. I would buy it again.

Do not buy. This board has random crashes with DDR4 3600 installed with or without XMP set or a traditional overclock. RAM that worked fine on my ASUS yesterday is now worthless on this board. Gigabyte support is entirely offline right now and every fix I can find fails and the RAM is worth more than the board is. Mem test fails all sticks in all slots. An RX9070 will block the case USB 3.0 header and nearly all of the SATA headers too. Those are issues my ASUS board did not have. The board is OK if you don't need high speed RAM (It works fine with a 3200 stick) and a smaller graphics card. God forbid if you need help from Gigabyte though.

Excelente calidad

La placa llegó exactamente a tiempo, muy bien empacada y protegida. Es una board súper completa, con excelentes puertos, buena conectividad y una BIOS muy intuitiva de configurar. Funcionó a la perfección desde el primer momento con todos los componentes. Por el precio que tiene, es una opción económica e ideal para armar un equipo de alto rendimiento. ¡100% recomendada!

This motherboard is simply great — solid build quality, reliable performance, and all the essential features you need for a Micro ATX setup. Installing and configuring it was straightforward, and it has handled my setup perfectly so far. The only minor issue I noticed is the USB 3.0 connector placement. In a small case like mine, it can interfere with fan space when connected, so you might need a 90-degree adapter to fit it comfortably. Other than that, it’s a fantastic motherboard with no complaints. Very happy with the purchase —4.5 stars.

Funziona alla perfezzione!!!

Buena placa base micro itx... buena conectividad, aunque le falta una conexión usb en la placa para conectar el lector de tarjetas. Montado con un ryzen 5 3600G y perfecta.

Depends the price and the period it’s a good board but you can get better ones

Motherboard seems good. Very unfortunate that the M.2 drive standoffs from my old mobo are not compatible.
