GIGABYTE B550M X AORUS ELITE WIFI7
GIGABYTE B550M X AORUS ELITE WIFI7
The GIGABYTE B550M X AORUS ELITE WIFI7 motherboard serves as a reliable foundation for PCs powered by AMD Ryzen 3000, 4000, and 5000 series processors. This mATX format model measuring 24.4×24.4cm integrates the AMD B550 chipset and provides four DDR4 memory slots supporting dual-channel configuration with a total capacity of up to 128GB. The board represents a stable platform for both gaming and work systems requiring fast data transmission and wireless connectivity. A hybrid digital 8+2 phase power delivery system with 60A DrMOS ensures a stable power supply for multi-core processors. The VRM effectively distributes current even under high system loads. UD Power connectors with solid pins increase conductivity and reduce wear from repeated cable plugging.

Cooling and connectivity
The all-metal VRM Thermal Armor heatsink with 5W/mK thermal pads manages heat dissipation from power components. The surface area of the heatsink is four times larger compared to conventional models. The Smart Fan 6 system lets you connect and control PWM and DC fans or water-cooling pumps delivering up to 24W per header. High-speed network interfaces include wired Realtek 2.5GbE LAN and a Realtek Wi-Fi 7 RTL8922AE wireless module. The wireless module supports the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with a 160MHz channel width. Bluetooth 5.4 and a directional antenna with a magnetic base are also included, helping to optimise wireless signal reception.
Storage
The board features two M.2 slots for SSDs, where the primary slot connected directly to the CPU supports PCIe 4.0 ×4/×2 interfaces when paired with non-G AMD Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series processors. It supports PCIe 3.0 ×4/×2 with G-series processors. The second slot utilizes a PCIe 3.0 ×4/×2 interface via the chipset and also supports SATA SSDs. Four SATA 6Gb/s connectors with support for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 serve to connect hard drives and SATA SSDs.
Slots, graphics and audio
A PCIe ×16 slot, which supports PCIe 4.0 on non-G Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series processors, is available for graphics card installation and features the PCIe EZ-Latch Plus mechanism for easy card removal. The second physical PCIe ×16 slot operates in PCIe 3.0 ×4 mode, accommodating additional expansion cards. Connect the integrated graphics of a supported processor via the HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs. The audio subsystem consists of a Realtek ALC1220 codec supporting up to 7.1-channel audio, complemented by high-quality audio capacitors. Audio Noise Guard technology physically separates sensitive analog audio components from potential interference at the PCB level. The rear panel features a Q-Flash Plus button, letting you update the BIOS from a USB flash drive without installing a CPU, RAM, or graphics card.

Choosing a motherboard
When choosing a motherboard (or mainboard), you need to pay close attention to the socket type, form factor and chipset. These are among the most important parameters, ensuring the board is compatible with your processor, expansion cards and other components. The specific socket determines your choice of processor, while the remaining connectors dictate which other components you need to select for your future computer.Specifications
