Despite the active promotion of the AMD AM5 platform, many manufacturers do not forget about the predecessor AM4, continuing to release quite interesting solutions for use with Ryzen 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 series processors. One such example is the inexpensive Gigabyte B550M gaming board from the AORUS ELITE series. Based on the AMD B550 chipset, the board offers 8 power phases that guarantee stable system operation even under high loads.

Effective cooling of components is achieved through a VRM heatsink, which is especially important for users seeking to overclock the processor and memory. RAM supports DDR4 with four DIMM slots, allowing you to install up to 128 GB of RAM with a clock frequency of up to 4733 MHz. Support for XMP technology simplifies the overclocking process, allowing users to easily achieve maximum performance.

To connect storage devices, the board offers four SATA 3 ports and two M.2 connectors operating in SATA/PCI-E 4.0 mode. The integrated RAID controller allows you to configure RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 arrays. The PCI-E 16x slot supports the installation of modern video cards, including the GeForce RTX 4000 and Radeon RX 7000 series, and steel PCI-E connectors increase resistance to physical damage. And belonging to the compact micro-ATX format allows you to use it when assembling compact PCs of various types. Additional equipment includes a gigabit network controller with an integrated wireless receiver (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3).
