With a rich list of features such as Ultra Durable Armor for PCIe/memory slots, USB Type-C on selected motherboards, refined audio quality, high-speed Ethernet, and the latest WIFI implementation, GIGABYTE AM4 motherboards are ideal for users who want to build the best AMD platform systems.

AMD StoreMI technology

The motherboards of the 400 series maximize the capabilities of your computer with AMD StoreMI technology. StoreMI accelerates traditional storage devices to reduce boot times and improve overall user experience. This user-friendly utility combines the speed of SSDs with the high capacity of hard drives into a single drive unit, improving device read/write speeds to match those of SSDs, enhancing data performance, and transforming your computer into a performance-based system.

Hybrid digital power management design

Optimized for 2nd generation AMD Ryzen CPUs

The AORUS 400 series motherboards use the Hybrid Digital PWM + Lower RDS (on) MOSFETs design to support AMD Ryzen 2nd generation processors, offering incredible precision in managing the power of the most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components of the motherboard, resulting in low temperatures and overall better thermal performance.

Fast data transfer with NVME m.2 PCIe storage reaching 32 Gb/S

AORUS M.2 Thermal Guard

With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 storage. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from M.2 devices, as it helps reduce and dissipate heat before it becomes a problem.

USB 3.1 Gen2

The AMD 400 series chipset provides USB 3.1 Gen2 ports with speeds up to 10Gbps. 2x faster than USB 3.1 Gen 1, along with backward compatibility with existing USB devices.

Realtek 8118 Gaming LAN

High-speed Gigabit LAN with automatic bandwidth allocation

The Realtek 8118 LAN is a high-performance network implementation for gamers with automatic bandwidth allocation to ensure priority in gaming or applications. It can provide users with the most comprehensive capabilities and the fastest and smoothest internet experience.

RGB Fusion 2.0 with Digital LED Support

With AORUS motherboards, RGB Fusion 2.0 is even better with digital LED lights. RGB Fusion 2.0 allows users to control the built-in RGB and external RGBW / Digital LED strips for their computer. Already capable of full colors and patterns, RGB Fusion 2.0 on AORUS motherboards is upgraded with digital LED support. With external digital LED strips, where each LED is digitally addressable, users can experience even more patterns, styles, and lighting.

RGB Fusion 2.0

RGB Fusion 2.0 provides you with a better solution for customizing lighting effects on all supported devices. From motherboards, graphics cards to peripherals, you can personalize your computer by sharing the profiles you created. Additionally, the new gaming mode makes lighting effects interactive in selected games to offer you a more exciting experience.

Smart Fan 5

With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure that their computer can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5, with 5 different sensors that can be switched to different locations on the motherboard for different thermal behavior, gives you full control of the board's condition.

Smart Fan Control Design

Achieve absolute silence. With FAN STOP, every fan will completely stop when temperatures drop below a certain threshold. You can choose which fan stops from which sensor and at what temperature.

Hybrid Fan Pin Headers

The Smart Fan 5 receives updated information about the flow rate through the Hybrid Fan Pins - giving you complete control over the status of your computer. All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device, whether it is a fan or a pump with different PWM or Voltage operation.

New Smart fan 5 software

Select different modes, silent or full speed, to match the usage of your system. For each fan or pump, you can use the fan curve to set the activation threshold of the cooling systems

Interoperable sensors and fans

  • Each fan can be customized to operate at different speeds according to any defined temperature input source (except for the CPU fan)

Fan curve

  • Adjust the fan curves based on specific temperatures with the graphical interface provided to you

Refreshed Bios

The BIOS configuration is necessary for users during initial installation to achieve optimal settings. With a new GUI and easier-to-use features, GIGABYTE has been able to reinvent the BIOS to provide users with a better experience when building their new system.

3D OSD

The 3D OSD detects and automatically displays your system information during gaming, allowing you to easily obtain information about your system without switching between screens.

CEC 2019 Ready

Save energy with a click

CEC Requirement: The power consumption of the computer must be below a certain level when it is in shutdown, idle, or standby mode. With high-performance hardware components and enhanced BIOS, GIGABYTE motherboards can achieve lower power consumption in standby mode and fully comply with the new energy consumption requirements of CEC 2019 (California Energy Commission).

  • Awful and nightmarish motherboard! Damn Gigabyte... it gives you 2 pciex16 slots so you can plug in a second GPU, but not only does it only run at x4, they also put the USB3 connector right underneath, so you simply can't plug in a second one! I have no idea what they're smoking at Gigabyte, and the most tragic part... while the BIOS and CPU-Z see 32GB and 4 DIMMs of 8GB each, Windows & Linux will show only 16GB! (All memory sticks are identical and tested in other systems) And once again, Gigabyte fails at math! Never again!

    5 years ago I bought the motherboard, after 2.5 years and within the warranty period, the RAM ports started burning. I sent it back to the store where I purchased it and after inspection, they replaced the motherboard with the same one. Now, after another 2.5 years, it suddenly shuts down and when I removed one of the RAM sticks, it worked fine. I tried different ones and the same issue occurred. After 2 days, I tried again and so far, after 1 month, it is working normally. Only time will tell what the future holds.

    For me, this motherboard is not worth it. It's better to go for the equivalent one from Gigabyte first of all because it doesn't support 3200 MHz RAM, which is unacceptable for an AMD chipset motherboard. I tried to set the RAM to XMP 3200 MHz (Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200 MHz) and I would get bluescreens a few minutes after booting. Additionally, it doesn't support overclocking, which may not matter to most people, but for me it was a bit disappointing. I sold this specific motherboard and got the MSI B450 Gaming Plus, and I found my peace

    The hybrid power of Gigabyte, although a bit unusual in overclocking, definitely does its job well. A very good motherboard for its price.
    Two negatives, insufficient cooling on the VRMs and few fan pins.

    GOOD EVENING. very good motherboard with a Ryzen 5 2600 processor and 2x8=16GB memory, works fine except that it was recognizing it as 2133. I went into the BIOS and fixed it, the only issue I had was with the sound, but I fixed that too. Now I'm using it with a GTX 950 graphics card

    Excellent and very nice. I combined it with an r5 2600 and the Patriot Viper Steel 2x8gb 3200mhz RAM. It also has RGB lighting around the back of the graphics card, but it's not very noticeable and not particularly interesting. I had difficulty installing it in the case because the motherboard screws were a bit far from the holes for the case screws, but I think it's the case's fault.

    The BIOS is easy in everything related to standard settings. Some few advanced settings are scattered within menus and submenus. Overall, it is quite poor and poorly designed. I expected more from a Gigabyte Aorus series. If you plan on overclocking, there are better motherboards in this area with more settings. This one only has the basics.

    I have it with an R5 3400G without an extra GPU and 2x8gb Corsair Samsung B die 3200 RAM. The RAM had errors in memtest86 at 3200, but the PC was functioning fine without any strange behavior.

    Upon investigation, I noticed that under high memory load, instead of 1.35v on the RAM, the voltage dropped to 1.33. I had to increase the voltage to 1.37 to prevent it from dropping below 1.35, and it stopped producing errors in memtest86. It has an M.2, a SATA3 SSD, and an HDD, all of which work flawlessly. Apart from the RAM not working as expected out of the box and requiring fine-tuning, I didn't encounter anything else

    One of the best motherboards for its price, I went for mATX specifically for space issues. I highly recommend it, as it has drivers for all CPUs in the 2000 series and it is mentioned on their website that it also has drivers for the 3000 series (which I am not aware of). It is a very powerful and value-for-money solution for entry-level. The small size and beautiful RGB stripe give it another level of prestige. It does not raise temperatures excellently in all aspects, it has many ports at the back, including USB 3.1. Even the manual was literally helpful to me.

    Very good motherboard, stable and reliable. It also has a BIOS setting that if the processor has an integrated graphics card like the Ryzen 2200g, it won't work in desktop and basic internet usage mode, but as soon as you start a game, the graphics card kicks in and helps the processor's graphics. Of course, all of this can be adjusted according to personal preference. I upgraded it with the rx 580 and didn't notice anything. Good temperatures for the chipset even during long hours of gaming with AAA titles, not exceeding 54 degrees. If you have a simpler graphics card in combination with the above, it will serve you well!

    Purchased for €88. Amazing price for the motherboard. I paired it with G skill sniper x camo 3200 16Gb memory and Ryzen 2600. It immediately recognized the memory at 3200 with XMP profile change. Very reliable, although the BIOS is not as user-friendly as Asus'. Overall, a great purchase.

  • Awful and nightmarish motherboard! Damn Gigabyte... it gives you 2 pciex16 slots so you can plug in a second GPU, but not only does it only run at x4, they also put the USB3 connector right underneath, so you simply can't plug in a second one! I have no idea what they're smoking at Gigabyte, and the most tragic part... while the BIOS and CPU-Z see 32GB and 4 DIMMs of 8GB each, Windows & Linux will show only 16GB! (All memory sticks are identical and tested in other systems) And once again, Gigabyte fails at math! Never again!

    5 years ago I bought the motherboard, after 2.5 years and within the warranty period, the RAM ports started burning. I sent it back to the store where I purchased it and after inspection, they replaced the motherboard with the same one. Now, after another 2.5 years, it suddenly shuts down and when I removed one of the RAM sticks, it worked fine. I tried different ones and the same issue occurred. After 2 days, I tried again and so far, after 1 month, it is working normally. Only time will tell what the future holds.

    For me, this motherboard is not worth it. It's better to go for the equivalent one from Gigabyte first of all because it doesn't support 3200 MHz RAM, which is unacceptable for an AMD chipset motherboard. I tried to set the RAM to XMP 3200 MHz (Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200 MHz) and I would get bluescreens a few minutes after booting. Additionally, it doesn't support overclocking, which may not matter to most people, but for me it was a bit disappointing. I sold this specific motherboard and got the MSI B450 Gaming Plus, and I found my peace

    The hybrid power of Gigabyte, although a bit unusual in overclocking, definitely does its job well. A very good motherboard for its price.
    Two negatives, insufficient cooling on the VRMs and few fan pins.

    GOOD EVENING. very good motherboard with a Ryzen 5 2600 processor and 2x8=16GB memory, works fine except that it was recognizing it as 2133. I went into the BIOS and fixed it, the only issue I had was with the sound, but I fixed that too. Now I'm using it with a GTX 950 graphics card

    Excellent and very nice. I combined it with an r5 2600 and the Patriot Viper Steel 2x8gb 3200mhz RAM. It also has RGB lighting around the back of the graphics card, but it's not very noticeable and not particularly interesting. I had difficulty installing it in the case because the motherboard screws were a bit far from the holes for the case screws, but I think it's the case's fault.

    The BIOS is easy in everything related to standard settings. Some few advanced settings are scattered within menus and submenus. Overall, it is quite poor and poorly designed. I expected more from a Gigabyte Aorus series. If you plan on overclocking, there are better motherboards in this area with more settings. This one only has the basics.

    I have it with an R5 3400G without an extra GPU and 2x8gb Corsair Samsung B die 3200 RAM. The RAM had errors in memtest86 at 3200, but the PC was functioning fine without any strange behavior.

    Upon investigation, I noticed that under high memory load, instead of 1.35v on the RAM, the voltage dropped to 1.33. I had to increase the voltage to 1.37 to prevent it from dropping below 1.35, and it stopped producing errors in memtest86. It has an M.2, a SATA3 SSD, and an HDD, all of which work flawlessly. Apart from the RAM not working as expected out of the box and requiring fine-tuning, I didn't encounter anything else

    One of the best motherboards for its price, I went for mATX specifically for space issues. I highly recommend it, as it has drivers for all CPUs in the 2000 series and it is mentioned on their website that it also has drivers for the 3000 series (which I am not aware of). It is a very powerful and value-for-money solution for entry-level. The small size and beautiful RGB stripe give it another level of prestige. It does not raise temperatures excellently in all aspects, it has many ports at the back, including USB 3.1. Even the manual was literally helpful to me.

    Very good motherboard, stable and reliable. It also has a BIOS setting that if the processor has an integrated graphics card like the Ryzen 2200g, it won't work in desktop and basic internet usage mode, but as soon as you start a game, the graphics card kicks in and helps the processor's graphics. Of course, all of this can be adjusted according to personal preference. I upgraded it with the rx 580 and didn't notice anything. Good temperatures for the chipset even during long hours of gaming with AAA titles, not exceeding 54 degrees. If you have a simpler graphics card in combination with the above, it will serve you well!

    Purchased for €88. Amazing price for the motherboard. I paired it with G skill sniper x camo 3200 16Gb memory and Ryzen 2600. It immediately recognized the memory at 3200 with XMP profile change. Very reliable, although the BIOS is not as user-friendly as Asus'. Overall, a great purchase.
