Gigabyte has introduced two new motherboards: the B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice and the B650M Aorus Elite AX Ice. We have the ATX mannequin and its extra compact counterpart in micro-ATX format.
The B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice: the ATX model!
This mannequin encompasses a fully white motherboard, or at the very least its PCB and heatsinks. The remainder of the connectors are black to distinction with the board.
The AM5 platform options 4 DDR5 reminiscence slots able to dealing with RAM at 8000 MT/s. The remainder of the connectivity is predicated on a PCIe x16 4.0 complemented by two PCIe x16 3.0 working in x1. Otherwise, the storage part focuses on an M.2 in PCIe 5.0 x4 complemented by two different M.2 in PCIe 4.0 x4 and 4 SATA III.
At the rear, the board encompasses a Q-FLash Plus enclosure, in addition to HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs.USB-A will probably be current in numbers, with eleven ports of assorted requirements, plus a USB-C 3.2 Gen2. Audio is offered by an unnamed Realtek chip. As for networking, Ethernet is pushed by Realtek 2.5 GbE, whereas an RTL8852CE Wi-Fi module is current.
The B650M Aorus Elite AX Ice: the identical, however in µATX!
This second mannequin encompasses a extra compact micro-ATX format. However, its design stays the identical as that of its ATX counterpart.
The reminiscence part stays in DDR5 and helps the identical speeds as the opposite board. However, there are a couple of slight variations when it comes to connectivity. While PCIe 5.0 is simply obtainable for the SSD half, there are solely two PCIe slots. The first is x16 4.0, the second x4 4.0.
The storage part has modified considerably, this time that includes two M.2s, one in all which is PCIe 5.0 x4, whereas 4 SATAs are nonetheless current.
Finally, rear connectivity seems to be equivalent when it comes to quantity and customary of connectors. Likewise, there seem like no adjustments to the chipsets accountable for driving audio, Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Last however not least, the identical 12 2 2-phase energy provides for the processor!
