GIGABYTEB650 AORUS Elite AX ICE (AM5/ LGA 1718/ AMD/ B650/ ATX/ 5-Year Warranty/ DDR5/ Triple M.2/ PCIe 5.0/ USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C/WiFi 6E/ 2.5GbE LAN/Snow White/EZ-Latch/Motherboard)

obsessed with the looks and have had no issues (make sure to update the software regularly! had weird lighting issues with my other components and didn’t realize my mobo way overdue for some updates - user error)

The perfect motherboard for a gamers needs. Has all the bells and whistles you need, and doesn't add all the extra stuff that doesn't matter to keep the costs down. Paired with a 9800x3d right now and a NZXT AIO with T-Force RAM. You can update the bios without turning the PC on using the flashback button on the outside with a removable USB. The wifi works great, no issues with connection or the antenna. Everything boots great and no issues with stability. Get this board if you want a great experience.

beautiful silver frost color very sturdy and gloss posts all the time no problem

Some aspects of this board are genuinely solid. It’s extremely easy to assemble into a build, and it looks great.That said, getting it to work with my 9700X and 5070 Ti has been an absolute nightmare. I had to troubleshoot nearly every imaginable component, as error lights constantly lit up on the board no matter what I tried.It refused to flash the BIOS from a drive until I spent literal hours resetting the CMOS, redownloading the bin files, and trying again. Once I thought that was finally resolved, the GPU wouldn’t work in the PCIEX16 slot. I had to resort to using the X1 slot just to get into Windows—far from ideal, but it was a temporary fix while I had work to do.After another dozen hours of frustration, I discovered the issue was a handshaking problem between PCIe 5 and the “Auto” setting for Link Speed. Once I forced the Link Speed manually, it finally started working… though it still occasionally fails to post.This is, without exaggeration, the most finicky piece of hardware I’ve ever dealt with. I wouldn’t recommend this piece of literal garbage to anyone

Awesome motherboard

It’s a great motherboard and I like it a lot only thing is it’s a little darker in person than in person other than that I love it!

I like this motherboard. I've read a lot of complaints about it but personally I haven't had any issues and I'm using it in my new setup. The RAM holders move and click smoothly, the heat sinks are great the M.2 slots are easy to unscrew and put back in. All of my cables clipped in nicely. I guess I wish it had more room but it's ATX and that's what it's advertised as. Just make sure to update all of your drivers early before your build is finished.

This GIGABYTE B650 AORUS Elite AX ICE motherboard is perfect for my all-white setup. The design is clean and premium, and the features are top-notch—WiFi 6E, PCIe 5.0, and triple M.2 slots make it a great choice for a future-proof build. Fast boot time, lighting is decent, and the connectivity is great. Easy installation with the EZ-Latch, and everything runs smooth with DDR5 support. Definitely a great motherboard for AM5 builds!
