Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AX AM4 Motherboard

Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO In the dark, starless night, the falcon strikes fear into the heart of its prey. Even with minimal visibility, the falcon pinpoints its prey and patiently anticipates the perfect moment to swoop in for the kill. The falcon with its laser sharp gaze dominates the darkness of night in the same manner that AORUS Core Lighting illuminates the vast AORUS ecosystem. Unparalleled Performance GIGABYTE realize that customer won't stop chasing a better computing performance. We take care of it and implement on products. Protective and optimized memory traces enhance the performance. Faster read and writing are needed to save time and improve efficiency. We offer plenty of M.2 storage with thermal guards to ensure unthrottled read and write. In advance, adopting PCIe 4.0-ready components get the B550 motherboards easier to upgrade. Advance Thermal Solution Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO Motherboard Unthrottled performance is guaranteed by the advanced thermal solution which includes Fins-Array Heatsink, Direct Touch Heatpipe and Thermal Guards. B550 AORUS motherboards are cool on MOSFETs and M.2 SSDs even on full loading. It provides lower temperatures for enthusiasts, overclockers and professional gamers. With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high-speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue. HI-FI  Audio system For enthusiasts, sound quality is just as essential to the gaming experience. B550 AORUS motherboards are equipped with high-quality audio components such as Hi-Fi grade WIMA FKP2 capacitors and Nichicon Fine Gold capacitors to provide a superb audio experience. The exclusive AORUS AMP-UP Audio technology makes for the ideal onboard sound solution for the most demanding audiophiles. Intel Wireless solution supports 802.11ax, enables gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, few dropped connections and speeds up to 2.4Gbps. Moreover, Bluetooth 5 provides 4X range over BT 4.2 and with faster transmission. RGB FUSION 2.0 Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle.
