Review: Solid B550M Motherboard with Minor USB Placement Issue - 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. Review: Great value AM4 motherboard - 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. ## Features - AMD AM4 Socket: Supports AMD Ryzen 5000 Series/ Ryzen 5000 G-Series/ Ryzen 4000 G-Series and Ryzen 3000 Series Processors - DDR4 Compatible: Dual Channel ECC/ Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4, 4 DIMMs - Sturdy Power Design: 5+3 Pure Digital VRM with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs - Connectivity: PCIe 4.0 x16 Slot, Dual Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 M.2 Connectors, Realtek GbE LAN chip - Fine Tuning Features: RGB FUSION 2.0, Supports Addressable LED & RGB LED Strips, Smart Fan 5, Q-Flash Plus Update BIOS without installing, CPU, Memory, and GPU ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BZQ1TNW8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,841 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #92 in Motherboards | | Brand | Gigabyte | | CPU Model | Ryzen 3 | | CPU socket | Socket AM4 | | Chipset Type | AMD B550 | | Chipset type | AMD B550 | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Compatible Processors | AMD Socket AM4 | | Compatible devices | Personal Computer | | Compatible processors | AMD Socket AM4 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 511 Reviews | | Graphics Card Interface | PCI Express 4.0 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 24.4L x 24.4W x 3.5H centimeters | | Main Power Connector Type | ATX 12V 8pin | | Manufacturer | GIGABYTE | | Memory Clock Speed | 4733 MHz | | Memory Slots Available | 4 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 128 GB | | Mfr Part Number | B550M AORUS ELITE AX | | Model Name | B550M AORUS ELITE AX | | Model Number | B550M AORUS ELITE AX | | Number of Ports | 18 | | Platform | Windows 10, Windows 11 | | Processor Socket | Socket AM4 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR4 | | Ram Memory Maximum Size | 128 GB | | Ram memory technology | DDR4 | | S/PDIF Connector Type | Optical | | System Bus Standard Supported | SATA 3 | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 1 | | Total PCIe Ports | 1 | | Total SATA Ports | 6 | | Total Usb Ports | 8 | | UPC | 889523037294 | | USB 2.0 | 4 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gigabyte - **CPU socket:** Socket AM4 - **Compatible devices:** Personal Computer - **Compatible processors:** AMD Socket AM4 - **Ram memory technology:** DDR4 ## Images ![B550M AORUS Elite AX (AM4/ AMD/ B550/ Micro ATX/Single M.2/ SATA 6Gb/s/USB 3.2 Gen 1/ Realtek GbE LAN/PCIe 4.0/ Motherboard) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tCMY0ve4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Processor Description, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Buenos días, ¿el envío es gratis a Colombia? ¿cuánto se demora en llegar? ¿Este producto es nuevo?** A: Es nuevo, depende de tu locacion la cantidad de dias **Q: does this support ryzen 7 5800x?** A: Yes, mine did out of the box. **Q: Ya viene actualizada** A: no, viene con la version f2 pero es facil actualizarla **Q: Funciona con ryzen 5 2600** A: Hi User, Yes this is fully compatible with Ryzen 2000 series processors.
