had this board in my system for the past 2 years - very satisfied with it

This is the first video of yours I have watched, and I really liked your style mate. Thanks for the video and keep up the good mood every time :)

Prime day I picked up a new AMD Ryzen 5900 and other parts but decided not a MB because I had to do some research. I thought I wanted 3 M.2 slots plus built in 6E Wi-Fi but that leaves you to $300 plus MB's. If you look on amazon lots of cards that can solve those functions for lot less I probably won't even use it since I have a wired network connection.

Great review again Laurent 👍😁 Love Gigabytes x370 k7 and x470 gaming 7 motherboards cause of the full-on led lighting built right into the motherboards, was hoping Gigabyte would bring out the same led lighting configuration on a x570 variant motherboard, i.e the x570 Gaming 7, one can only wish 🤑

Fantastic review. Thank you

Be aware that the front panel Type-C header on this board is NOT 10Gbps Gen2 as stated in this video (a mistake I see often in tech videos) it is a Gen1 5Gbps header. USB naming and speeds are often confusing and frustrating for people and it's frustrating to see tech channels that get these wrong.

Good informative video bro ! Paid 177euros for this badboy... motherboards are so expensive now. I dont know why there are so much boards out there without wifi. Sucks...

would an AMD 10 9700 APU work in this motherboard with no issues? if not, what board would you recommend for this Processor? as I would also in the future would like to replace with a Ryzen 5 or 7 at a much later date.

Any chance to see a b550 aorus pro AX? (or V2 since the AX seems to still be unavailable in europe for some reason)

Heads up for anyone wanting to get this or the older V1 revision! A lot of people have made comments about the back IO ports not delivering stable power/connection when you turn on XMP on your ram. As far as I've read somewhere (reddit, other tech websites) the issue still persists with V2 revision so be careful

Hi brother sorry for very late comment. Which is best Msi b550 gaming plus motherboard vs Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 Motherboard?

Laurent would you suggest this over the ASUS TUF GAMING B550-Plus? I'm looking to build a Amd Ryzen 5600x and you seemed to like both motherboards.

I installed b550 aoruselite today, so I booted up normally. I'm curious, so I'll ask you a question. When I plug in the power cord, the blue led came into the room on the left.go Is it turning off? If you press the computer power button, the heat sink will turn orange. When I connected the outlet, the blue LED went in and out of the heat sink, so I was surprised and asked.^^

Which one is better ?? Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 or Gigabyte X570 GAMING X or which one do you recommend under 200 euro ?

Gorgeous explanation :)!!! Though I have a question - Would Putting M.2 PCI-e gen3 into M.2 PCI-e gen4 cut PCI-e Gen4 video card lanes...right? I plan to use 2 planks of m.2 ssd but just can not get it.. if I use gen4 m.2. slot would that limit the gen4 video... any thoughts?? advice?? Please.

This will be my first PC build in 15 years, using it with a Ryzen 5 5600X, and I picked up a GTX 980 it 6Gb off eBay due to the high prices of GPUs 😤, and one a stick of 32 g Kindston fury running at 3600mh as you stated with one stick you can overclock it even more and I was definitely wanting to try that with the CPU Ram and GPU. Case in NZXT H510, NZXT 850C power supply and a 120mm NZXT AIO for CPU and a 240mm NZXT AIO for the GPU with the adapter for that. My question is? using only one stick of Ram I use the second dim slot correct? To be able to overclock it to the highest level or does it not matter which slot are use. Bart

just bought this motherboard and a ryzen 5 5600 to upgrade from my b450 mobo and ryzen 1600x

I bought this motherboard to run two Nvidias 3060, unlocked, but the second 3060 does not unlock. The manual says that only one slot is x16, but in the updated BIOS, the setup gives the option of 2 slots in x8. I tested it in every way and I couldn't. Did anyone manage to run two 3060 unlocked on this board?

Came for the intro

Just bought it in 2024. I already had a AM4 system and I happend to get gifted 5800x3D so I just thought that it would be a nice cheap upgrade for a B450. Not fully ready to commit to B650 with DDR5 yet so this was the best option. I have not tested it yet though but if anyone is interested comment below and I’ll post my thoughts on it in 2024

Having issues with this board and the USB ports using a 5600x. I get intermittent USB signal stuttering depending on the accessories. Typically, wired stuff works fine. Wireless stuff gets constant random stutters. For example Logitech G305 wireless mouse randomly disconnects and reconnects within 1/2 second. But it does not do this on my other AMD PC. I have latest, bios. latest chipset drivers, all windows updates, turned off power saving features and disabled low power C states, and fresh battery on the mouse, tried different USB ports. USB 3 seems to be the most temperamental. Not sure if anybody has issue with this? This board also behaves really weird with XMP ram at 3600 mhz with Gigabyte Vision RTX 3070, it will crash unless RAM is at 3566Mhz, weirdly enough, lowering XMP to 3400Mhz also crashes. But when I use my old GTX 1070 it runs fine at 3600 Mhz or 3400 Mhz. So weird. This will be my last Gigabyte board. Had to do too much troubleshooting to get it working. It's a silly waste of time.

which is better? b550 aorus elite v2 or b550 tomahawk

MSI B550 Tomohawk is much cheaper in my country then the Gigabyte B550 Aourus Elite V2 Which one shoud I buy?

So how many pc rgb cooling fans can plug in to the motherboard not including the cpu cooler?
