Description
PCIe 4.0 for everyone
AMD's B550 chipset offers the performance and speed provided by the PCIe 4.0 protocol. Ready for AMD third-generation processors.
For supported processors, see here.
AMD StoreMI
The B550 series motherboards maximize your computer's capabilities with AMD StoreMI technology. StoreMI accelerates traditional storage devices to reduce boot times and improve overall user experience.
This handy utility combines the speed of SSDs with the high capacity of hard drives into a single drive, enhances the device's read/write speeds to match those of SSDs, boosts data performance for incredible value, and transforms the everyday computer into a performance-based system.
The benefits of AMD StoreMI
- Fast, smooth, and easy computing experience
- Optimizes computer responsiveness from system startup to application launch
- Offers SSD performance with HDD capacity at an affordable cost
- Quick access to essential files by automatically learning users' computing behavior
5+3 Phase Pure Digital VRM Solution with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs
The Aorus series motherboards from Gigabyte use a pure digital PWM design + Low RDS(on) MOSFET 5+3 phases to support 3rd generation AMD Ryzen processors, offering incredible precision in power delivery to the most demanding and power-hungry components of the motherboard, as well as providing improved system performance and absolute hardware expandability.
PCIe 4.0
- PCIe 4.0 x16 slot with faster bandwidth and lower resistance
- M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot with lower resistance
Dual NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 M.2
With integrated NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 and PCIe 3.0 x2 M.2 slots, Gigabyte motherboards offer users the ability to connect in NVMe or SATA mode for M.2 SSD devices. Providing data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gb/s, the dual M.2 slot design offers an ideal storage solution, while also supporting RAID functions.
Realtek GbE LAN
The Realtek Gigabit LAN features a network bandwidth management application that helps improve network latency and maintain low ping times for better responsiveness in busy LAN environments.
HDMI 2.1
HDMI 2.1, which is backward compatible with HDMI 2.0/1.4 and offers 48 Gb/s bandwidth, twice as much as the previous generation. This unlocks the ability for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic ratio of 21:9 (in which most movies are shot), Full HDR support, and HDCP 2.3, to provide the best visual experience for viewers.
Cooling
Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure that their computer can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers have been introduced that support both PWM fans and voltage operating modes to make the motherboard more liquid-cooling friendly.
- 3 Fan / water pump connectors
- 5 Temperature sensors
- All fan pin headers upgraded to hybrid fan headers
- Interoperable fans and sensors
- Intuitive UI for fan control
Fan Stop
With Fan Stop, each fan will completely stop when temperatures drop below a specified limit. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor and at what temperature, all of these can be customized to your preferences.
Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
Take full control of your liquid cooling setup. Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-date information about the flow rate through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers, giving you complete oversight of your computer. All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device, whether it is a fan or a pump, with different PWM or Voltage modes.
