Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX V2 ATX AM5 Motherboard

The Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX is an ATX motherboard that provides AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors with a foundation that is solid and packed with useful features. It is based on the B650 chipset and brings DDR5 memory capabilities together with connectivity that suits modern gaming and creation workloads.

Four DIMM slots accept up to 256GB of DDR5 RAM. When properly tuned the board can reach speeds up to 8000 MHz, allowing demanding games to load quickly and letting heavy multitasking remain fluid while you stream, render or run virtual machines.

Three M.2 slots that use PCIe 4.0 lanes give you room for NVMe SSDs with transfer rates that rival the fastest drives on the market. Traditional SATA users still have four ports for large-capacity hard drives or 2.5 inch SSDs. A full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slot ensures that your graphics card delivers its full potential, and the EZ Latch design lets you release it without wrestling with small clips inside the case.

Built-in Wi-Fi 6E reaches the less crowded 6 GHz band and pairs with 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet to provide networking that is both fast and stable whether you are playing online, streaming or downloading large project files.

The rear I/O panel offers a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port for high-bandwidth peripherals such as external SSDs, several USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 1 Type-A ports for controllers and webcams, and USB 2.0 connections for keyboards and mice.

Smart Fan 6 monitors multiple thermal sensors across the board and lets you fine-tune fan curves through the BIOS or a Windows utility. Hybrid fan headers detect whether you connect a three-pin or four-pin fan or a water pump, giving you more flexibility when you build a quiet air-cooled system or a custom loop.

With Q-Flash Plus you can update the BIOS by loading a file onto a USB drive, plugging it into the designated port and pressing a button. This saves time when the board ships with older firmware or when you are troubleshooting a new build.

All of these features make the B650 GAMING X AX a sensible choice for competitive gamers who want responsive performance, creators who handle large assets every day, and PC enthusiasts who crave a platform with room to grow.
