Gigabyte B550 AORUS Pro Review
Audio Quality »Finished Looks
The Gigabyte B550 AORUS Pro features a neutral gray and black aesthetic that is attractive and easy to match with most components.
The RGB on the Gigabyte B550 AORUS Pro is not bad, but does feel dated when compared to other solutions. The diffusion on the rear I/O cover is good, but brightness could be better, and the zone is rather small overall.
