To ensure maximum Turbo Boost and overclocking performance of AMD's new generation CPU, GIGABYTE Gaming series motherboard equip the best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components.

GIGABYTE B650 Motherboards are ready to work with the PCIe 4.0 devices which are expected to experience twice bandwidth than the current PCIe 3.0 devices. To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance.

Shielded Memory Routing
All memory routing is under the PCB inner layer shielded by a large ground layer to protect from external interference.

EXPO and XMP Dual Support
GIGABYTE AM5 MB supports both AMD EXPO™ and Intel® XMP overclocking memory modules for maximal compatibility. MB will automatically detect both profiles format in SPD, users can choose to enable one of profiles from BIOS menu and easily reach overclocked memory performance.

DDR5 Auto Booster
Automatically Boost the Native DDR5 frequency to 5000MHz while the system is under heavy loading by a single click.

AMD EXPO™ and Intel® XMP 3.0 User Profile
Define and create your own SPD profile into Native, AMD EXPO™ and Intel® XMP 3.0 memory modules. One user-defined profile can be saved, loaded either locally or from/to an external storage device.
- One empty SPD profile can be defined by users and carry to next computer
- Quick memory performance simulation based on user input clock and timing parameters
- Profile save and load function to share your memory parameters online

3X Large Surface
Increased surface area up to 3X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.

Real One-piece Build
TMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors' multi-piece design.

SMART FAN 6
Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface.

Cooling Features
- High Current Support
Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection

- Precision Control
Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve

- Dual Curve Mode
Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario

- Fan Stop
Fan can stop completely below users' specified temperature point

Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI
1. Improve fan curve UI
We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control.
2. Slope/Stair dual graph mode
Fan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenario. Slope is traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear mode, fan keeps at same speed between specified temperature interval.
3. Manual Input
For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control.
4. EZ Tuning
Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.
5. Fan curve profile
Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS.

High-End Audio Capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.

Audio Noise Guard
GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board’s sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.

RGB Fusion Multi-Zone Light Show Design
Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion 2.0 application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard.
