GIGABYTE B550M AORUS Elite AX (rev 1.3) Motherboard, Supports AMD AM4 Ryzen 5000 Processors, Micro-ATX, DDR4, Single M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, Realtek GbE LAN, PCIe 4.0

Great motherboard from Gigabyte, It has all of the features you will need to build a small form factor PC. 4 ram slots when so many in this pricepoint only use 2, the wireless feature is also a plus. Had no issues setting up the pc or with the softeware.

This board has worked perfectly for a budget Ryzen 5 5600GT build. The board arrived in brand-new condition (Some reviews expressed otherwise) and worked the first time without any issues. The VRM's are very high quality and have no problem with thermals because of the large heatsink. The wifi is very fast and I had no issues installing all the necessary drivers needed for this new build. The BIOS is probably my favorite part of this board. I have never used a gigabyte motherboard before (Always ASUS or MSI in the past) but this is making me reconsider those choices. It is so much easier to adjust the fan curves and update the bios on this board compared to the competition it makes my head spin. You can even save fan curves so they won't just vanish when you update BIOS which is something I've never had the luxury of doing on MSI boards. The fan stop feature is also another no-brainer feature that MSI and ASUS just don't seem to have on the boards I've used for some reason. It allows you to make a fan completely stop under a certain temperature even if it isn't a zero RPM fan which is AMAZING. I strongly recommend this board!

Cheapest at the time. I have several WiFi adapters, so I didn't need that option. I have an RGB controller, so I didn't need that option. It fit in a CoolerMaster 4000 case effortlessly, so there's that.Most importantly, it booted the first time with no BIOS tweaking.

This is a good, well featured, mATX board. Great features in EFI setup, works great OOB. Using with a 3700X and 32GB 4000MHz RAM, 7600XT GPU, it does it's job well enough that I haven't even really begun to try and explore tweaking it. After I get an X3D CPU, I'll probably tinker more.Only, petty, gripe is that for the money, you'd think they could squeeze in an RGB controller. I could have sworn the description said it had one but probably got it mixed up with another one I was looking at. Oh well.

The media could not be loaded. I was a little scared that mt motherboard would not have the proper rgb needed, but it came with it. Everything works as should as i am using the r5 5600gt cpu. With people saying there is no bluetooth or wifi, you have to install the drivers in order for you to be able to use those features. All in all, I am pretty pleased with the motherboard. The storage I'm using are both m.2. I bought the e key just in case these didn't work. Time to refund the extra storage.

My wife's daughter's lenovo legion tower 5 went kaput, so I decided I would pull all the parts from the tower and replace all, keeping the tower for matx availability and slightly less expensive build.Original build was as follows:Gigabyte b550m DS3H Rev 1.7 moboRyzen 5 5600x CPUGeForce RTX2070 super GPUexistent ssdExistent memoryWent through every troubleshoot known to man and 6 certified technicians. They all knew gigabyte was a headache for people, and they figured it might be a bios issue (even though Rev 1.7 shouldn't need a bios qflash for the cpu of choice).Then we bought new ram modules and GPU in order to avoid no display bios qflashing. Switched to appropriately sized ram modules and a GeForce RTX 3060. All items confirmed compatible.Then we honed in on the fact that when we turned the computer on after connecting, all fans and lights would start up no problem, but motherboard power went into idle, AND won't shut off with a power button long press and hold.This is a sure sign that the motherboard is already messed up from the beginning.Other reasons not to buy this board or any from their brand...I have been in multiple discord groups, facebook groups, and reddit groups/threads, all with people complaining of the same issue, and nearly all of them fixing it by returning the board due to terrible installation instructions, worse bios flash instructions, and overall headache of boot issues and crashes.I did troubleshooting on this board for 6 hours a day average for nearly 10 days, including all my research time, and if i didn't care about getting my money back for another board, going with MSI, then I would climb to the top of a cell phone tower like I used to do for work and Frisbee this thing as had as I possibly could into the nearest high traffic interstate. Gigabyte is by far the absolute worst board I have ever encountered for being user friendly, instructions friendly, or ANYTHING friendly.Seriously just DONT GET THIS BOARD or ANY of their boards EVER. Pay a bit more money and get the good stuff.

good motherboard

Have it in my computer for 6 months and its perfect
