Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Motherboard

Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Motherboard:

The Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Motherboard is an ATX motherboard based on the AMD B450 chipset, designed to support a wide range of AMD Ryzen™ processors, including the 5000 series, 5000 G-Series, 3rd Gen, 2nd Gen, and 1st Gen Ryzen™ processors, as well as those with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics. It’s built for gamers and content creators who demand robust performance, advanced cooling, and customizable aesthetics.

Key Features for Enhanced Gaming and Creation:

This Aorus motherboard features a Hybrid Digital PWM Design, ensuring stable and efficient power delivery to the CPU, which is crucial for overclocking and sustained high performance. It supports Dual Channel Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4 RAM across four DIMM sockets, allowing for up to 128GB of system RAM and impressive overclocked speeds up to 3600MHz (O.C.).

For storage, the B450 Aorus Pro is equipped with Dual Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe Gen3 M.2 connectors with Dual Thermal Guards. These M.2 slots support both PCIe x4 and x2 SSDs, ensuring maximum performance for your storage. It also provides six SATA 6Gb/s connectors with support for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 configurations. The motherboard also supports AMD StoreMI technology, which combines the speed of SSDs with the high capacity of HDDs into a single drive for faster boot times and improved overall system responsiveness.

Connectivity is robust, featuring an Intel® GbE LAN chip with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator Software for optimized network latency and low ping times in crowded LAN environments. For display output (when using compatible AMD Ryzen™ G-Series APUs with integrated graphics), it offers HDMI and DVI-D ports. Some revisions of this motherboard also include Intel® Dual Band 802.11ac WIFI & BT 4.2 for wireless connectivity.

The motherboard boasts an advanced cooling solution with Smart Fan 5, featuring six temperature sensors and five hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP functionality. This allows for precise control over cooling performance, enabling fans to stop completely when temperatures are low for a quieter system.

Aesthetics are a strong point with RGB FUSION 2.0, offering a multi-zone LED light show design that supports both digital and RGB LED strips. Users have complete control over the lighting effects and can synchronize them with other Aorus devices. The motherboard also includes high-quality audio components, such as the ALC1220-VB Enhanced 114dB(Rear) / 110dB(Front) SNR HD Audio with WIMA Audio Capacitors, providing an immersive audio experience.

The B450 Aorus Pro is built with Ultra Durable™ Design, including an integrated I/O shield, solid pin power connectors for stable power supply during CPU overloading, and an Anti-Sulfur Resistors Design to prevent component failure due to sulfur compounds in the air. It also features GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ for protection against BIOS failure.
