Description
Gigabyte B550M K is an affordable and compact motherboard from Gigabyte, based on the budget AMD B550 chipset. During production, Gigabyte aims to minimize the final cost while increasing device reliability and extending its lifespan.
Two M.2 connectors for NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 drives.
Thanks to built-in M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 and PCIe 3.0 x2 connectors, GIGABYTE motherboards allow users to connect NVMe PCIe or SATA solid-state drives (maximum bandwidth up to 64 Gbps). Using both M.2 slots, you can create an ideal high-speed data storage system, including via available RAID arrays.
HDMI 2.1 port for 4K / 60P / 21:9 / HDCP 2.3 content protection.
HDMI 2.1 is a high-definition multimedia interface, backward compatible with HDMI 2.0/1.4 versions, supporting simultaneous video transmission at speeds up to 48 Gbps (twice as fast as the previous generation interface) over a single cable. This interface allows simultaneous transmission of multiple video streams in the original cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio (the format used in most movies), supports Full HDR and HDCP 2.3 technologies, ensuring the best visual experience for media content.
Industrial-grade LAN port protection against static electricity and voltage surges.
To protect against static, GIGABYTE motherboards use ICs with a durability margin three times higher than standard ICs. This reliably safeguards the motherboard and its components from damage caused by static electricity. GIGABYTE motherboards also feature special ICs that protect the motherboard and PC as a whole from overvoltage and power surges during power outages.
Smart Fan 5.
Thanks to Smart Fan 5, users can be confident their gaming PC will operate in the optimal thermal environment without sacrificing performance. With temperature sensors located on the motherboard, Smart Fan 5 allows control of each fan's operation. Additionally, Smart Fan 5 offers more hybrid fan headers supporting PWM and Voltage modes, providing maximum convenience for managing installed liquid cooling systems.
Fan Stop.
For those who value silence! With the Fan Stop function, the fan will completely stop when the temperature drops below a user-defined threshold. Which fan should stop based on a selected sensor's readings and at what temperature can be fully customized according to user preferences.
Hybrid FAN connectors.
Fully control all liquid cooling system settings! Using hybrid fan connectors or external temperature sensors, Smart Fan 5 provides accurate information on coolant temperature and flow rate—manage your PC's cooling according to your preferences.
New SmartFan 5 application.
Choose from available modes—from quiet to full speed—based on your preferences.
