Gigabyte B550 AORUS MASTER ATX Motherboard for AMD AM4 CPUs

Product Information

GIGABYTE’s premier B550 model is the B550 Aorus Master, and it has a very premium controller set for what is considered a ‘budget’ platform. A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your personal data, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. This is arguably the best PWM controller on the market and does not use phase doublers or a parallel implementation. I am very pleased to see the 2-digit debug LED and four individual POST LEDs mounted near the 24-pin connector.

If we change our marketing approach in the future so that consent is needed, we will ask for this separately and clearly. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behaviour and their devices. Also from buildzoid board review video he pointed out that software controlled dual bios implementation is really poor and you may face issues with that? For each fan or pump, users can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.

In fact the only area you’re usually losing out on is the amount of high bandwidth devices you can install. KitGuru says: A premium B550 offering that competes against upper-mid-range X570 options and battles them well.

To share your personal data with members of our group and third parties that will or may take control or ownership of some or all of our business (and professional advisors acting on our or their behalf) in connection with a significant corporate transaction or restructuring, including a merger, acquisition, asset sale, initial public offering or in the event of our insolvency. Aside from that that, the board is all black with a grey square pattern stenciled on around the socket. We have seen this a few times from Gigabyte motherboards, so it may be related to the way in which the specific XMP profile is interpreted through the BIOS. If you don’t have something like this, just setting the motherboard on top of the cardboard motherboard box also works. Please allow 2 working days for a response as some item's enquiries with international suppliers may be required.There is no DisplayPort at all which is disappointing for APU users wanting to run an older high-resolution monitor or perhaps dual screens. All Ryzen Gen processors are supported on this board, it's about performance and aesthetics, heck even the CPU socket has a metal reinforced dual 8/4-pin connectors. They are all 4-pin and one is tucked away near the power connectors, making its trailing cable easy to hide.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this privacy policy. To the right of the socket are four reinforced DIMM slots that support 128GB of RAM at speeds up to DDR4 5200. I am very happy with the VRM heatsink design – the direct touch heatpipe feeds into a small block that provides thermal capacitance and then the well-sized fin arrays handle heat dissipation. Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle.Some onboard voltage monitoring points would have been welcomed, too, but they are perhaps an unnecessary luxury given the target audience. If you have done everything correctly the system should start, and then go through the POST sequence. doesn’t make a lot of difference to your GPU, even an RTX 2080 Ti, it has a profound effect upon the transfer rates of a suitable M. and offer the option to control onboard, external light strips, and/or AORUS devices with RGB/ Addressable RGB LEDs to make your PC unique and stylish.

SSDs can be installed, though this does come with the trade-off of dropping a graphics card to an x8 link. Also worth noting is the fact that the chipset simply does not run particularly hot given its lower power draw versus X570 through a lack of Gen 4 connectivity. The board has four memory slots which support up to DDR4-5200 which is higher than any X570 board prior to launch, with a maximum supported capacity of up to 128 GB. Gigabyte deploys a total of eight 4-pin fan headers distributed very smartly around the motherboard.This gives users ease of access as they try and adjust colors and speeds for different modes, all this can be achieved away from the keyboard and monitor of their PC. The B550 Aorus Master uses fourteen Infineon TDA21472 70 A power stages for the CPU section, with two TDA21472 70 A power stages for the SoC, with an Infineon XDPE132G5C PWM controller. B550 motherboards provide all next generation network, storage, and WIFI connectivity to keep you up to speed.
