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.

DDR5 EXPO & XMP Overclocking

GIGABYTE offers a tested and proven platform where the memory overclocking capability can reach up to 8000 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 GIGABYTE motherboard.

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.

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, no 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)

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.

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 essential 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 updated and support future products

Multi-key

A multi-function reset button that can be reassigned to other functions in the BIOS for different user scenarios.

  • RGB Switch

Turn off all lighting effects on the motherboard.

  • Direct-To-BIOS

Boot into the BIOS menu directly without pressing any keyboard button.

  • Safe Mode

Boot into BIOS safe mode to change a specific option without losing other BIOS settings.

Q-Flash Plus

Update the BIOS easily

With Gigabyte Q-Flash Plus, you don't need to install the processor, memory, and graphics card or enter the BIOS menu. Simply download and save a new BIOS file to a USB drive, then press the exclusive Q-Flash Plus button and you're ready to go.

  • Very good motherboard for all tasks. It can even handle powerful processors. Buy it without hesitation at a price of 150€. Of course, it is neither low end nor high end, but a perfect midrange motherboard.

  • Very good for its price if you want a simple processor. For an x3d CPU it's better to go for a better implementation, otherwise in the x870 or x670 series for better power delivery, which I would recommend

    Everything is good, but I can't connect my mobile phone to the GoPro via Bluetooth, that's why I didn't give it the fifth star. Other than that, a very good motherboard

  • Very good motherboard, plenty of ports. It includes wifi 6e and bluetooth, and comes with two antennas for more effective connection with wireless networks and devices. Very sturdy construction (after all, we're talking about Gigabyte). Very good cooling system. It has three ports for NVMe drives, and three more PCIe for graphics cards, sound cards, etc. I recommend it with closed eyes!!
