Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 Overview

Construct your next build with ample processing power and connectivity with the B550 AORUS Elite AX V2 Motherboard from Gigabyte. This motherboard is ideal for gaming enthusiasts looking for functionality and connectivity without sacrificing performance. Built with the B550 chipset and utilizing an AM4 socket, you can choose from a wide range of AMD Ryzen processors. Install up to 128GB of DDR4 RAM with speeds up to 4733 MHz when overclocked for enhanced multitasking capabilities. Storage devices can be installed via four SATA III and two M.2 connections.

A wide range of PCIe connections, including one PCIe 4.0 x16, two PCIe 3.0 x16, and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot allow you to connect various graphics and utility cards. An array of USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports and headers allow you to connect various peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and microphones. USB 2.0 ports are also present for low resource-demanding accessories. Wireless accessories can be connected thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 support. Connect to the internet with either the onboard Intel Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) or 2.5GbE Ethernet port.  

AMD B550 Chipset
Powered by the AMD B550 chipset, this motherboard supports third-generation AMD Ryzen processors with the AM4 socket for high-end video games and content creation. The chipset takes full advantage of the large PCIe 4.0 data bandwidth to handle demanding tasks such as 4K live streaming, video editing, and gaming at high settings.
Memory Layout
With the optimized daisy-chain routing, the B550 motherboard provides a speed of DDR4-4000 MHz and beyond with high-density memory modules. Optimized daisy-chained routing eliminates the stub effect, and pushes the one DIMM per channel in a dual-channel interleaving mode to hit higher memory frequencies, providing a faster system memory experience. For users who demand high storage capacities, the B550 AORUS motherboard supports Dual NVMe M.2 PCIe SSDs with RAID 0 support, allowing sequential read speeds of 6560 MB/s and write speeds of 6669 MB/s.
Advanced Thermal Solution
Unthrottled performance is guaranteed by the advanced thermal solution which includes enlarged heatsinks, high quality thermal conductivity pads and thermal guards. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat.
Smart Fan 5
Smart Fan 5 allows users to ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make this motherboard more liquid-cooling friendly.
Connectivity
Onboard 2.5 GbE LAN provides at least two times faster transfer speeds as compared to general 1 GbE networking. 2.5 GbE is ideal for gamers and streamers who require a smooth wired online experience. Wireless connections are provided by the Intel Wi-fi 6 802.11ax and AORUS Antenna, enabling gigabit wireless performance to provide smooth video streaming, a better gaming experience, and less dropped connections. Additionally, Bluetooth 5.0 provides four times the range over Bluetooth 4.2 with faster transmission.

The onboard USB Type-C header for USB 3.2 Gen 1 makes access convenient when connecting a USB 3.2 Gen 1 device or charging a mobile device. Connect to a display thanks to the HDMI 2.1 port, which is backwards compatible with HDMI 2.0/1.4 and offers 48 Gb/s of bandwidth. This unlocks the potential for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic 21:9 ratio, full HDR, and HDCP 2.3 support, to offer the best visual experience for viewers. 

Hi-Fi Audio System
This motherboard boasts a combination of Hi-Fi grade WIMA FKP2 capacitors and high-end audio capacitors. While the high-end audio capacitors are suited for high-grade audio equipment, the WIMA FKP2 capacitors are being used widely in premium grade Hi-Fi systems. The addition of this to the exclusive AORUS AMP-UP Audio technology makes for the ideal onboard sound solution for the most demanding audiophiles.

An audio noise guard separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level. LED trace path lighting illuminates to show the separation of the PCB layers. 

Durable Construction
The one-piece stainless-steel shielding design reinforces the PCIe connectors to provide the extra strength required to support heavy graphics cards. Additionally, the B550 AORUS motherboard features solid plated ATXC 24-pin & ATX 12V 8-pin power connectors to offer a stable power supply during CPU overloading.
RGB Fusion
With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion 2.0 application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard. RGB Fusion 2.0 provides you with a solution for customizing the lighting effects across all supported devices. From motherboards and graphics cards to peripheral products, you can personalize your gaming rig with your own style and show off your build by sharing the profiles online.
Q-Flash Plus
Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory, and graphics card.
GIGABYTE BIOS
The GIGABYTE BIOS features an all new Easy Mode which shows important hardware information in one page including CPU clock, memory, storage, and fans. Add constantly used items into the favorite menu for quick access and show all kinds of storage information including data for SATA, PCIe, and M.2 interfaces. A changelog lists all changes before saving exiting the BIOS, allowing you to quickly review overall settings modifications. The intuitive load-line curve shows each load-line calibration in a curve graph.
GIGABYTE APP Center
The GIGABYTE APP center is a portal of all GIGABYTE MB utilities and drivers, you can choose any utility you want to install from APP Center and stay updated with the latest utilities and driver versions.
Easy Tune
With EasyTune, users can fine-tune their system settings or adjust system and memory clocks and voltages in a Windows environment. With Smart Quick Boost, one click is all it takes to automatically overclock your system, giving an added performance boost.
@BIOS
The GIGABYTE @BIOS app allows you to update your system's BIOS from within Windows using a simple graphical user interface. @BIOS will automatically download the latest version from the GIGABYTE servers, or you can update your BIOS from a file on your computer. @BIOS allows you to save your current BIOS to a file, recover your previous BIOS from an image, and backup your BIOS to an image.
