Actually very good review, well done, very helpful! Looking at this Gigabyte since Asus is having issues on AM5. A good note here is that the VRM is DrMOS, not as good as the one on B650m Aorus PRO but let's see. Hope it won't have the coil whine that Gigabyte tends to suffer from.
Which VRM B650M Aorus Pro have then? I'm finding it hard to see any difference between these two boards. Which should I get? What's the major difference. I'm so confused.
I've watched review on technology or play games on my leisure so you can imagine I've seen a lot. Honestly this motherboard review was best i've seen thus far. Good work man!🤜
To all you watching this in 2024. Rev 1.3 of this mobo now only has 6 pbc layers (openly stated on official site). It's been downgraded and prob not worth the price now.
@@masteraction1239 ended up completely lying and getting the asrock b650m pg riptide. Love it so far - fast boot times, had almost every header I needed (needed a case fan hub cuz I got too many fans). Probably can’t go wrong with this one either though tbh
Great review, but referring to users of the 2.5 Gbps LAN port as "into the classics", is an unfortunate characterization. If it's "classic" to prefer a network link that is light years ahead of WiFi in terms of speed and stability, then I guess I'm into classics. As far as I'm concerned, WiFi is all about convenience and connectivity to other wireless devices, not performance.
Thank you for this review. I've been considering a new SFF build and this mobo is perfect! Edit: The Mini-ITX (B650I) version, but they're basically the same thing lol
If you are watching this trying to find where the f are the sata slots, they are on the right lower part on a side (probably hidden by your already installed graphics card)
So it's 100% exact same board but 1 less m.2? Why are these boards not more popular? They are so much cheaper here in Australia. If it is the same I will be buying the B650M for sure
@ICmikeyP I did not know that. I was looking at the sapphire nitro + vapor 7900 XTX, will I not be able to put in bottom fans? Might need to find a different board. Looking to use the Jonsbo D31 mesh with screen case.
Would a 3090 Founder Edition(61mm height) fit in the top PCIe 16x and I can still use the bottom PCIe slot? If you can please measure the distance between the top PCIe and the bottom one? I would love hear if it's possible, I have no idea where I can find that sort of information and you are the only one that has a video of it that is so good. I hope you can help me with this. Thanks!
Since this video what m-ATX motherboard would you suggest for a 7800X3D 7900XTX high end gaming build. ASUS TUFF Gaming B650M +WiFi MSI B650M Mortar Thank you
Do you by any chance know which of the rear IO USB ports are routed directly through the CPU and which are routed through the chipset? I've looked through the manual, but it doesn't indicate which ports are which.

I have a cuestion, im planing to buy this motherboard because I want to have a gaming pc, but I also want to have a rendering pc with a NVIDIA Quadro M4000, so my plan is to have a RTX 4060 and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000, so i just want to known if this would work in this motherboard ( or in any motherboard at all)
Let’s say initially I only install one M.2 Storage. But after a year or two, I decided to add another M.2 storage. Can I just easily remove the cover without damaging the thermal pad on the first M.2? In short, will the thermal pad be so sticky after a year or two?
my current mobo is reasonably old it has 3 audio outputs, blue, green and pink. I use them to get 5.1 surround with a logitech system. These new mobos just have Mic and Line out. How can I use 5.1 just using those two ports?
it really comes down to which processor you'll be using, the aorus elite will have the thickest heatsink but for cpu up to ryzen 7, the other 2 should be okay too! both the aorus elite and riptide will have a built-in I/O shield, and the riptide may be good if you need clearance for top area of your build. as the top of the riptide doesn't have a VRM heatsink. :) I think all 3 boards are great, and you really can't go wrong with either 1, but if you go for the riptide, do make sure the power limit is unlock from that board to make full use of it!
if it's the MSI PRO B650m-P wifi, or the aorus elite, I believe the aorus elite will have a better VRM and heatsink as that motherboard will be closer to the B650m DS3H from gigabyte :)
If someone is watching and thinking of buying it. I don't recommend it. It's one of more expensive AM5 motherboards and it has a coil whine. I was surprised and disappointed by it. Of course, if you don't have your pc near your ears it will not be heard, but still...
I bought this motherboard and 10 days later I encountered a problem with the coil whining too. I compared ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte b650m motherboards, but finally chose this one. I know the noise doesn't cause harm, but it is annoying. How do you solve it? Do you apply for after-sales service replacement or refund it?
@@benjones885 as far as I read in the internet forums and etc I figured it out that not all Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite motherboards have the coal whine, so it's like 50/50 getting a board with the coil whine or not. If you just bought it recently and your store policy lets it return it for a refund then just do it that (I don't know where are you from and what laws are in your country. As I live in one of the EU countries, we have a 14-day policy return without questions and get a refund. But if it's long gone, then you should contact Gigabyte, they give 3-year warranty for the mobos, so doing a warranty claim would get your motherboard replaced.
@@Tech5Productions i didn’t know and accidentally ripped it out when trying to put my second ssd in😭 do you think it’ll still work there’s no visible damage to the board
Amazing video brother ❤ dropped a sub, can you please help me out I'm confused between this motherboard and b650 gaming x ax and msi b650m a wifi ? which one should I get
Im sorry. But this board is a trash. On the paper, everything sounds fine but Gigabyte cheaped out on chokes just too much. I have never imagined to hear a wild coil whine on a motherboard in 2023. Do not buy this crap! Do not buy anything from Gigabyte As you know, coil whine is not one of RMA subject, And RMA takes way too long time. Better buy an ASUS or MSI.
@@listen5248 he means what he say's. I have this board also and it has coal whine... I thought buying an expensive AM5 motherboard wouldn't have this, but it does... As far as I researched it comes because of the RAM speeds, when you make them higher the sound of the coil get's louder.
![You NEED to Change these 6 BIOS Settings now! 👉 [Lasts Longer, Faster, + Quieter]](/img/1.gif)
This was a great review of the board, I can't believe I found a comprehensive review on the first search. Thanks again
Glad it was helpful!😊
@@Tech5Productions great vid
Looking fwd on the next one
Im curious tho can i use pcie4 like nv2 in that pcie5 slot?
@@Tech5Productions can this work on a ATX case?
@@HuntaKiller91 yup, you can. It'll just run it at the gen4 speed of that nvme :)
@@willy7968 yup, it can bro. But it may look a bit small in an ATX case.
Out standing Review as you gave the best motherboard review I have ever seen.
Frickin packed IO so many ports for an mATX and solid VRM/heatsinks, going with this board for my smaller build. Great review
IKR! F*** the other boards!
I am happy with mine. Ryzen 5 7600x 32gb gskill trident running at 6000 mt. No problems.
1 year later and this is the best review of this board Iv found. Thank you :)

thank you so much! appreciate the comment!
This is not a review, just an overview. Where are the test? Vrm temperatures?
Noob
Thats called performance test
Very helpful review
Great review ✅
Between Aorus B650m Pro Ax and Aorus B650m Elite which one should I get ?
Will just 1 support for psu be enough to power up a water cooling system as well? Great video

You're so welcome!
My b650m aorus elite was DOA. Replaced with a MSI mortar. Never again with gigabyte. Was a frustrating experience troubleshooting.
How is the mortar working for you? I am still trying to pick a board for my 7800X3D 7900XTX build. Coil whine? Thank you
@@rhufnagel Works fine. Although over priced when I bought it at 240$ and the PCIE slot not being in the highest position is dumb.
@ICmikeyP I did not know that. I was looking at the sapphire nitro + vapor 7900 XTX, will I not be able to put in bottom fans? Might need to find a different board. Looking to use the Jonsbo D31 mesh with screen case.
@@rhufnagel You might not have any issues in the D31. It's the D30 you would have issues I think.

m2 storage dont even need thermal bs
@@avgustin. nah dude, m.2 memory/control chip can get pretty hot
for longevity and performance, better to have heatsink attached

May have to consider another motherboard, or if you're open to it, adding a sound card is always an option
I am confused between 3 boards please help. Gigabyte AORUS Elite B650, AsRock B650M PG Riptide and Gigabyte B650M DS3H
it really comes down to which processor you'll be using, the aorus elite will have the thickest heatsink
but for cpu up to ryzen 7, the other 2 should be okay too! both the aorus elite and riptide will have a built-in I/O shield, and the riptide may be good if you need clearance for top area of your build.
as the top of the riptide doesn't have a VRM heatsink. :)
I think all 3 boards are great, and you really can't go wrong with either 1, but if you go for the riptide, do make sure the power limit is unlock from that board to make full use of it!
Is this motherboard reliable?
Is this better than MSI b650P WiFi motherboard? I want to pair with 7900x, please reply....
if it's the MSI PRO B650m-P wifi, or the aorus elite, I believe the aorus elite will have a better VRM and heatsink
as that motherboard will be closer to the B650m DS3H from gigabyte :)
pci express 5.0 Does it have a slot? GIGABYTE B650M AORUS ELITE AX Amd B650 Soket AM5 DDR5 6666MHz (O.C.) M.2 Anakart
The B650m aorus elite has support for PCI-e Gen5 on the primary M.2 slot only
The graphic slot doesn't have Gen5 support :)
Can you send me a link to which graphics cards support PCIe 5.0?@@Tech5Productions
Would this hold good for ryzen 9 7900x?
Can you install an AIO on this?
Does anyone know if I can fit a 7900xt and a deepcool AK620 (cpu cooler) on this board?
yup, you certainly can fit those
it more depends if your casing is able to fit those components in
What's that processor?
did this man just say if you are into the classics there is an ethernet port?
Anybody tried to fit a an RTX 4070ti on this? Specifically a Galax GeForce RTX 4070 Ti EX Gamer
