Gigabyte B650I AORUS ULTRA Overview

Proving you can achieve immense performance in a small package, the GIGABYTE B650I AORUS ULTRA AM5 Mini-ITX Motherboard provides gaming enthusiasts with robust connectivity options suitable for handling powerful components in a smaller desktop setup.

Equipped with AMD's AM5 socket and B650 chipset, you can leverage a wide range of Ryzen 7000 Series processors, enhancing performance and responsiveness. Two dual-channel DDR5 RAM slots enable you to install up to 64GB of memory to enhance multitasking and rendering speeds. Install an array of storage drives for your media assets with four SATA III and three M.2 PCIe interfaces. The AORUS ULTRA also has one PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slot so you can equip your system with various graphics cards. Connect your low-powered peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and controllers to the AORUS ULTRA with USB-A 2.0 ports while USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports are reserved for resource-demanding devices such as external drives, audio interfaces, and more. You can also use Bluetooth 5.2 technology to support wireless devices for a true cable-free experience. Quickly access online assets with Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) technology for wireless connectivity or use the wired 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for a strong and reliable connection.

Performance
Twin Digital VRM design leverages 8 VCORE phases and 105A Power Stage to ensure electrical throughput that can handle AMD's Ryzen 7000 Series processors as well as extreme overclocking. M.2 PCIe 5.0 performance enables you to experience up to 16 GB/s data transfer speeds for quicker data application runtimes and faster loading of your games. EXPO and XMP memory overclocking boosts RAM up to 6400 MHz for enhanced multitasking and rendering performance.
Connectivity Cards
Able to boast massive performance in a reduced form factor, the AORUS ULTRA doesn't skip a beat when it comes to connectivity options. The internal BTB PLUG card houses two M.2 storage slots as well as various connectivity headers. SATA storage drives can be plugged into the FRONT CARD which also offers LED connectivity options.
Enhanced Thermal Design
Designed to maintain thermal performance and prevent system throttling, the AORUS ULTRA's fully covered heat sink with 8mm heat pipe, M.2 Thermal Guard, Hybrid PCH, NanoCarbon Baseplate, and 12-layer 2x copper PCB work together to ensure that onboard components are safe under heavy loads. Smart Fan 6 application gives users the ability to monitor and operate connected fans to assist with cooling capabilities.
Back Panel Connectors
The back panel of the AORUS ULTRA includes two USB-A 2.0 ports for low-powered devices such as mice, keyboards, and controllers. You also get two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 ports, giving you up to 5 and 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds, respectfully, allowing you to connect external drives, audio interfaces, and more with ease. A single USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port covers a wide range of device utility complete with 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds and DisplayPort-Alt Mode video out functionality to support various displays.
Front Panel USB-C Connector
The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port offers double the performance of USB 3.2 Gen 2, with a throughput up to 20 Gb/s while connected to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. With the USB Type-C connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of a reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
Personalization & Customization
With an array of RGB headers, you can use GIGABYTE's RGB Fusion and Control Center software to customize your rig with a wide range of colors and lighting effects, turning your rig into the centerpiece of your gaming room. UEFI BIOS settings can be easily accessed and allow you to fine-tune your performance profile according to your needs. A multi-key function reset button can be reconfigured to other functions within the BIOS to meet different user scenarios such as acting as an RGB switch, boot directly to BIOS, and enable Safe Mode.
Ultra-Durable
Sporting an easy DIY design, the AORUS ULTRA provides you with several enhancements that make the installation of components a breeze. PCIe EZ-Latch provides quick access to your M.2 storage drives and Q-Flash Plus enables you to update the BIOS settings with only a few power cables, RAM, and processor.

Gigabyte B650I AORUS ULTRA Reviews

Excellent motherboard!

By Romeo
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-24

Motherboard work like a charm with RYZEN 7 9700x and ekwb cpu waterblock(am4). It even posted ddr5 6000mhz gskill 32gb ram without any issues using EXPO 1 preset. Stable and rock solid. Glad I made the jump from am4 to am5. 1 button easy flash bios worked flawlessly to update bios to f33g without cpu or ram installed. This is an awesome board. The only flaw is no debug led or led bios error led.

Doesn't work well

I bought this for a SFF build in a FormD T1. Size wise, it's perfect for what I was doing. I do like that it has 3 NVME slots. The board itself has proven unreliable for me. Sometimes it won't post and requires me to remove one of my RAM sticks to get it to post. It isn't a problem with the RAM. I have swapped sticks, boots fine with only 1 stick in either slot, used a different set of RAM, same thing. Utterly useless in a SFF build if you have to constantly open it up for this issue. The other problem is the USB 2.0 dongle isn't working at all for me. It won't detect anything plugged into it. I had to literally buy an internal USB to external USB adapter to utilize my devices. I am planning to RMA but honestly, look elsewhere. Go ASRock if it's available. This has been nothing but a hassle. I missed my return window fighting with this thing.
