OPEN BOX - GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi (AMD Ryzen AM4/ATX/M.2 Thermal Guard with Onboard Wi-Fi/HDMI/DVI/USB 3.1 Gen 2/DDR4/Motherboard) Bundle

So i bought this motherboard to replace my Asrock b450m Steel Legend, after lots of problems with Asrock and lies about supported XMP memory plus Asrock destroyed four M.2 SSD drives in one year !!!! I got fed up, since ive already got a mini pc from Gigabyte and was quite satisfied with the quality, stablity and support ive decided to swap my motherboard from my gaming rig with Gigabyte B450 AORUS M. Positive: - actually supports XMP that they claim to support and works flawless. - PCIex slots are better placed duo the fact that the M.2 SSD is placed right under the GPU - PCIex x1 not usable when installing graphics card - PCIex x4 usable with graphics card installed - M.2 SSD slot is fitted with heatsink (i decided not to use since my case is well ventilated) - BIOS is less fancy but actually does what it supposed to do. - Plenty USB ports and better placed (2x USB2.0 / 4x USB 3.1 gen 1/ 2x USB 3.1 gen 2) Negative: - lack of fan headers 2 sys fan, 1 cpu fan header (you'll need to use splitters) - no water pump header (if you use an AIO cpu cooler you already lose 3 connectors) - only 1 M.2 slot - finicky M.2 slot, difficult to install and you need to install the spacer under the SSD (took me 2 tries because the first boot the SSD was not found duo bad contact and had to re-seat the drive) So far i had around 1 week to test out this board and i'm already more satisfied then with the Asrock board. I didn't need to reinstall all windows but i did had to re-activate windows, everything just ran and started fine without any problems after swapping the board. I let it run for 2 days non stop, without any hickups or crashes. I ordered some fan header splitters because the lack of connectors on the board. The user manual is significantly smaller but explains very well how to install and configure. The board came with BIOS version F60 and ran my Ryzen 2600x out of the box. Will certainly buy Gigabyte again !

Bought this motherboard to install my Ryzen 5000 series processor. "Ryzen 5600g " Note: You will need to flash the bios to support the new processor. I used an old 3200 G to complete the procedure before installing the new processor . Just using onboard video and works flawlessly with 16 gigs ram and 1 Terabyte SSD on high settings for most games in 1080 P. Excellent Value. Excellent quality. Easy setup.

Pros: - Decent looking board - NVME heatsink included - PCIE-X16 slot is at the top position, giving much needed clearance for the GPU fan, or allowing a 2-slot GPU to be used with an additional full height card in the bottom slot (in my case, LSI Raid controller) - Dual BIOS included - Great fan control - Very stable with latest BIOS (f63) Cons - Needs better VRM heatsinks. Works great on my Ryzen 5 1600 with good case cooling, but they could do better. - Needs more fan headers, at least 1 or two more. - Would like a little more RGB (chipset heatsink, or under-board lighting zones Overall, very satisfied for the price, and this is probably the best AM4 MATX board thanks to PCIE slot arrangement and excellent fan control.

Placa mãe muito boa, ótimo custo benefício. Placa com bons recursos, bonita mesmo sendo uma placa simples. Funciona perfeitamente com o Ryzen 5 3600XT, sem atualização de bios. E até os Ryzen 5 5000, mas com atualização de bios.

MoBo de gama media que se siente gama alta (a pesar de ser una B450) Inicialmente me iba a ir por otra marca, pero viendo que esa marca "A sus" componentes luego traen detalles (ya pasé por una mobo muerta, y otra con un slot de RAM dañado de esa marca), opté por la Pro WIFI de Aorus ¿Por qué la PRO WIFI y no la ELITE? Por su chip de Audio. Al ser ATX hay que tener mucha atención en el gabinete que se quiera colocar, ya que la cubierta del panel, puede quedar muy justa con los ventiladores posteriores y traseros. Esta misma cubierta del panel, interfería con mi cable del PSU para la MoBo, pero nada que una extensión no pudiera solucionar. Cuenta con varios puertos para ventiladores lo cuál se agradece. La iluminación RGB está casi en todos lados, no sólo está en los logos fontales, sino en el panel trasero, así como en la zona frontal y lateral de la zona de audio. SI bien no he logrado sincronizar del todo la iluminación de las RAM con los ventiladores, la opción de personalización es muy amplia. Cuenta con conectores para tiras de led o para ventiladores con iluminación a 5v así como conexiones de 12v, lo que facilita y amplia las opciones de personalización a través de software (RGB Fusion 2.0) El BIOS es completo, tal vez no tan intuitivo pero al final es sencillo de usar, la iluminación se puede configurar incluso desde el propio BIOS. El audio es una de las mejores partes, por su chip de audio, así como la practicidad de contar con wifi y BT en un mismo equipo. Viendo la caja y la etiqueta de "gaming mother board" uno pensaría que dentro de la caja vendría un mejor diseño, pero no. La Tarjeta bien envuelta en su bolsa antiestática, soportada
