Gigabyte B550I AORUS Pro AX 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 B550I AORUS Pro AX consists of a single zone underneath the left side of the board. This is a pretty typical ITX arrangement as there just isn't enough room for any more.
