Description
AORUS motherboard based on the AMD B550 chipset, featuring a digital VRM module, PCIe 4.0 x16 interface port, two M.2 PCIe 4.0/3.0 connectors, Realtek RTL8118 GbE LAN gaming controller, Smart Fan 5 technology, and FAN STOP function.
Digital VRM module based on low RDS (on) power MOSFETs, 5+3 phase power design
The GIGABYTE AORUS series motherboard power subsystem, built around a digital PWM controller and low RDS (on) power MOSFETs in a 5+3 phase configuration, ensures reliable operation of AMD Ryzen 3rd generation processors and other power-hungry components, delivering enhanced performance and hardware scalability for the platform as a whole.
High-speed Gigabit LAN with automatic traffic prioritization
The Realtek RTL8118 GbE LAN chip is a high-performance network controller designed for gaming PCs, capable of automatically allocating network bandwidth resources to prioritize specific applications, including games. This controller includes all essential features to ensure productive and secure Internet connectivity.
Power MOSFET heatsink
The proprietary heatsink over the power MOSFET area ensures efficient heat dissipation.
A pre-shielded I/O port connector simplifies PC assembly.
Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure their gaming PC operates at optimal thermal conditions without sacrificing performance. Thanks to temperature sensors located across the motherboard, Smart Fan 5 enables precise control over each individual fan. Additionally, Smart Fan 5 offers more hybrid fan headers supporting both PWM and Voltage modes, providing maximum flexibility for managing installed liquid cooling systems.
For those who value silence! The Fan Stop function completely halts fan rotation when temperatures drop below a user-defined threshold. Users can customize which fan stops based on a selected sensor and at what exact temperature, according to personal preferences.
RGB Fusion 2.0 software
RGB Fusion 2.0 fully unlocks its functionality on GIGABYTE B550 series motherboards, especially regarding addressable RGB LED strips. Using the proprietary RGB Fusion 2.0 software, users can select modes and control PC lighting via built-in RGB LEDs and external addressable RGB LED strips. While color selection and preset lighting patterns were available before, the control over addressable LED strips has been significantly enhanced. Each LED on such a strip can be digitally addressed, enabling unique color palettes, custom styles, and original lighting effects.
GIGABYTE B550 series motherboards are compatible with external addressable RGB LED strips operating at up to 5V (supporting up to 300 LEDs per strip). With RGB Fusion 2.0, users can apply new lighting templates and fine-tune numerous settings for their chosen lighting mode.
