To ensure maximum Turbo Boost performance and overclocking of AMD's new generation CPUs, the Gigabyte Gaming series motherboard equips the best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components.
PCIe 4.0 Hardware Design
The Gigabyte B650 motherboards are ready to work with PCIe 4.0 devices, which are expected to have double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 devices. To achieve high speed and maintain good signal integrity, Gigabyte's R&D uses low resistance PCB to provide maximum performance.
EXPO & XMP Support
Aorus offers a tried and proven platform where the memory Overclocking capability can reach up to 6400 and beyond. All users need to do to achieve this extreme memory performance boost is to ensure that the DDR5 memory modules are capable of AMD EXPO/Intel XMP, and that the EXPO/XMP function is enabled and activated on the Aorus motherboard.
- High coverage MOSFET and integrated molding Heatsinks to improve thermal performance with better airflow and heat exchange.
- The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and congestion from high-speed M.2 SSDs, as it helps dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.
- The 2X copper PCB design effectively reduces component temperatures with high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
- Large Surface Area
Increased surface area up to 3X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. Improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
- True Monolithic Construction
TMOS is a true monolithic heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface area drastically improve cooling performance compared to the multi-piece design of competitors
Smart Fan 6
Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure the gaming PC maintains its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support both PWM/DC fans and pumps, and users can easily set each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the system through an intuitive user interface.
Cooling Features
- High Current Support
Each fan header supports PWM and DC fan and water-cooling pump, and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with overcurrent protection
- Precision Control
Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve
- Dual Curve Mode
Dual slope/stair mode for different user scenarios
- Fan Stop
The fan can stop completely below the user-specified temperature point
802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E
The latest 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E wireless solution with a new exclusive 6GHz band allows gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, fewer dropped connections, and speeds up to 2.4Gbps.
Additionally, Bluetooth 5 offers 4x the range compared to BT 4.2 and faster transmission.
Benefits of Wi-Fi 6E
- Dedicated spectrum in the 6GHz band for fewer interferences
- 4X better network capacity, without congestion especially in densely populated areas with many devices
- Increased network efficiency for a better user experience
2.5GbE LAN
- The adoption of LAN 2.5G provides network connectivity up to 2.5GbE, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with an ultimate online gaming experience.
- Support for Ethernet RJ-45 Multi-Gig (10/100/1000/2500Mbps)
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports provide speeds of up to 10Gbps. With double the bandwidth compared to its previous generation, as well as backward compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0, the greatly improved USB 3.2 Gen 2 protocol is available through the new reversible USB Type-C plug and the traditional USB Type-A plug for better compatibility across a wider range of devices.
RGB Fusion
Now offering more LED customizations than ever before, users can truly personalize their computer to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion 2.0 application, the user has complete control over the LEDs surrounding the motherboard.
UEFI BIOS
UEFI BIOS is a type of BIOS that replaces the older BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) in computers. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a software-hardware interface standard used for managing computer boot processes and basic system functions.
Gigabyte Control Center
The Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) is a unified software for all products supported by Gigabyte. It provides a newly designed intuitive user interface for controlling all key functions.
- Unified software platform for all supported Gigabyte products
- Intuitive user interface for an easy experience
- Modular control elements only for installed hardware
- Auto-update function to keep the system up-to-date and support future products
