B650 Aorus Elite AX (mATX) just dropped another $10. Went ahead & picked one up for a recent 7700x (eventual 7800x3d) & 4090 fe build. Don’t think we’ll see Pcie 5 on GPU matter any time soon & when it eventually does, would be upgrading to am6 anyway.

Just a little correction here, the B650i Aorus Ultra has 4 Sata connectors, the daughter board has 2 vertical ports and 2 horizontal ports.

Good to know my evaluation is shared by others... shame my friend still had to buy a x670 ax elite as nothing else of comparable required features was in stock. So they ended up spending more, for less.
But if you need something for work, you need it for work.

You should really give M.2 NVMe SSDs a chance, they're actually pretty awesome. Nothing looks nothing is faster, nothing looks cleaner, because it doesn't require cable management or ugly up your case with expansion cards that might make it more difficult to install some of these new GPUs that are just massive. There are so many PCIe lanes that it makes no sense to waste them on something stupid like an ugly expansion card for M.2 drives, when you can just have M.2 drives installed on the board directly.

I love gigabyte design, and the aorus b450 mobos are tough workers,

Got the B650e master, much better experience than hyped Asus that I returned except for Gigabytes audio software support.

[DrBrovahkiin]

Just bought a b650 elite and knowing it's as good as it is makes me feel better about my purchase cause I only need two M.2 slots and having that clear cmos button (pull the battery) or the power button (jump the power connectors) is just not worth the extra

Hopefully you make a video analysing ASUS AM5 motherboards as well.

[fracturedlife]

Buildzoids ideal AM5 Motherboard when, the AM4 vid was good!?!

[Rob......]

For Gigabyte to call this joke an 'X670e Aorus Master' is beyond comprehension. I mean, 1 PCIe slot ffs lol.

[maulcun]

B650M AORUS ELITE AX looks really good and it doesn't come with intel lan. Its been having issues since z490 (i225v and i226v).

[jimp]

@BZ, What's your take on the negative reviews on Gigabyte's Software Packages (Drivers/LED/Fan Control/BIOS Flash)? I have a GB Z170M Gaming 5 & it's the worst MB I've ever owned. The software was horrid then and sounds like nothing has changed.

[aLexBeGGy]

So I am having a hard time deciding between Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX and AS Rock B650E PG Riptide Wifi. What would you say I should pick considering the Gigabyte mobo is also 30$ dollars more in my country. The thing I worry about AS Rock is that I've heard it's Software is kinda bad.
Thanks.

Could you comment about Gigabyte B650M-DS3H? It's 160 usd right now. Is it wise to pair it with 7600x and Hynix 6000mhz - CL 30 ?

[DoomedGrind]

Disappointing line up really, for the price. Hardly any seem to match feature set of my X570s pro Ax and that only cost me 200 on a sale..

[itraumatik]

Why do the mobo makers mostly dont match what intels mobos have like right angle connectors like they did on x570 xtreme, i loved that board for amd, was great and closest to intel mobo offerings .

[teemuvesala]

Good on Gigabyte not adding useless 2x8. Much better that the m.2 drives get direct CPU connections.

[m.l.]

Again no USB4 and still miserabel PCIe slot setup. :-(

[AbyNeon]

pathetic motherboards with just one gen 5 pcie slot... avoid as if it was cancer.
