Name: GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE - Motherboard for AMD Ryzen 7000, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6E
Brand: GIGABYTE

GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE is a white ATX motherboard designed for AMD Ryzen 7000 (and newer Ryzen 8000/9000) processors with Socket AM5 compatibility, offering a modern platform for high-performance desktops.

This board supports DDR5-SDRAM across four DIMM slots in dual-channel mode, accepting up to 256 GB (up to 64 GB per slot) and tuned memory speeds up to 8000 MHz, making it suitable for demanding multitasking and content creation workflows.

Storage and expansion are well covered with three M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0 x4 and two PCIe 4.0), seven total drive connections including four SATA III ports, and RAID 0/1/10 support for those who need performance or redundancy.

Connectivity includes a robust selection of USB ports (multiple USB 3.2 Gen1 and Gen2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C and legacy USB 2.0), HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs supporting up to 4096 x 2160, plus a 2.5 GbE Realtek RTL8125 LAN port for fast wired networking.

Wireless features are top-tier with Wi‑Fi 6E (Realtek RTL8852CE) and Bluetooth 5.3, complemented by two Wi‑Fi antenna jacks, while onboard audio is handled by the Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1 channels. System health monitoring and multiple fan and pump headers (including two CPU fan connectors and two water pump connectors) make cooling and monitoring straightforward.

The board includes gamer- and builder-friendly features such as UEFI AMI BIOS (256 Mbit), clear CMOS jumper, TPM connector, RGB headers (four), multiple PCIe x16 slots including one PCIe 5.0 x16, and a passive cooling design that keeps temperatures stable without additional noise sources.

Use cases: build a fast gaming PC with next-gen GPUs and PCIe 5.0 storage, assemble a content-creation workstation with high-capacity DDR5 memory and multiple NVMe drives, or create a quiet home office rig using the passive cooling and integrated Wi‑Fi 6E connectivity.
