Motherboard Gigabyte B550M X AORUS ELITE WIFI7 AM4

Gigabyte B550M X AORUS ELITE WIFI7 is a Micro ATX motherboard for socket AM4, aimed at stable mid-range Ryzen configurations. The combination of AMD B550 chipset and support for AMD Ryzen 3000/4000G/5000/5000G provides a wide choice of CPUs – from budget to quite serious for gaming and work. You get modern connectivity with Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.5GbE LAN, which is rare in this class. The Micro ATX form factor allows for more compact cases without sacrificing expandability.

What you get

The AM4 socket with AMD B550 chipset allows you to step into the proven Ryzen ecosystem – from 6-core to multi-core CPUs for streaming, rendering, and serious multitasking. The four slots for DDR4 and a maximum of 128 GB RAM give you the option to start with less memory and upgrade comfortably without changing the motherboard. The official support for frequencies 2133/2400/2933/3200 MHz is more than sufficient for a typical gaming build and productivity. The built-in Realtek ALC1200 audio is adequate for gaming and everyday use, so you don't have to invest in a separate sound card. With Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Realtek 2.5GbE LAN, you can choose how to connect to the network depending on whether you prioritize lower latency or convenience without cables.
