With the arrival of AMD's Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors based on the new Zen 4 architecture, the world's leading computer brand, GIGABYTE today announces its B650E and B650 motherboards ready to power these next-gen CPUs. Sporting the new AM5 socket, the AORUS B650E and B650 gaming motherboards are equipped with a direct digital power design and a full-covered cooling module to keep the circuitry cool. These AORUS motherboards come with PCIe 5.0 connectivity and support for DDR5 memory, which are AMD EXPO and Intel XMP capable of up to DDR5-6600 and beyond. The AORUS gaming motherboards are also equipped with the DIY-friendly PCIe and M.2 device fast installation and removal design, making future upgrades quick and easy.

Power delivery and thermal design have always been the top factors when it comes to CPU performance. To meet the needs of gamers looking for powerful yet stable system performance, the AORUS B650E and B650 gaming motherboards are designed with a maximum 16+2+2-phase twin digital power, covered by a massive heatsink that has four times more surface than the previous generation to ensure the smoothest power delivery even under loads. Other thermal designs, such as 8 mm mega-heatpipes and dedicated heatsinks on key components, greatly improves the system's stability and overall performance. With the friendly design of PCIe and M.2 EZ-Latch features on the AORUS B650 gaming motherboards, GIGABYTE makes components swapping a whole lot easier.




GIGABYTE launches a total of 14 motherboards, including B650E AORUS TACHYON, B650E AORUS MASTER, B650 AORUS ELITE AX, B650 AERO G, B650I AORUS ULTRA, etc., which are on sale starting October 10th. All customers in North America region purchasing new GIGABYTE AORUS AMD AM5 series motherboards will receive an automatic extended 2-year warranty, expanding from the leading 3-year warranty to a total of 5 years.

Itx usually comes later. Don't want to see itx prices ahen mATX and ATX will cost ya arm...
As mini-ITX boards tend to have a couple of additional PCB layers, they're in general not any cheaper to produce than a mATX motherboard.

There are also B650E based ones (ASRock B650E PG-ITX WiFi & ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WIFI for example) but are much higher priced!

I'd be more inclined to use Gigabyte motherboards if it weren't for their shitty software. I'm looking at you, RGBFusion; you're the worst of the whole damn Gigabyte software stack.

... so pricing is shit once again.
The only thing that I can think of is that the motherboard manufacturer's want to make some money since let's face it, you're not going to be upgrading every two years like with Intel.

Why they promised B650 starting at $125 is beyond my understanding.
Based on these prices we have +28% miscalculation or they just lied.
It's one of the above options if we don't have within October $125 B650s and neither is good for AMD management.

Scamming some people is a decent hypothesis, the few 7600Xs sold might have been purchased by people who were under the expectation that they were going to be able to buy B650s motherboards for $125 in a few days because Lisa said so.

Why not use OpenRGB, rather than any of the proprietary software provided by the MB manufacturers?

Her calculation didn't take into account the economic instability and greed of motherboard companies :p

yeah i would imagine ITX boards would need to cost more (sometimes much more) than a MATX since they have to cram similar functionality onto a smaller size plus move up the southbridge/pch up a couple notches above the first pcie and shuffle things around. That cant be cheap to do. MATXs boards ar nothing more than ATX boards without the additional Pcie slots as witdh wise they are the same.

No idea what they are thinking, the economic situation is awful for most people, inflation is ramping yet they launch overpriced rubbish.
No idea why they didn't make basic options with B. I hope they'll suffer worse than normal people.

It's hard to be enthusiastic about a tech company that deleted their own forums.

Truth be told, they weren't really involved in them for years, so topics mostly revolved about how nobody there listens to customers, and that bugs don't ever ger repaired.

After the ransomware hack in 2021 company really took a nosedive, trailing behind competitors in bios revisions. And their software does look like abandonware.

I bought Gigabyte X570 Aorous Elite, like many others - it was a bit cheaper than competition with the same specs. Was it worth it? No, I don't think it was.
