Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 Motherboard - Supports AMD Ryzen 5000 Series AM4 CPUs, 10+3 Phases Digital Twin Power Design, up to 4733MHz DDR4 (OC), 2xPCIe 3.0 M.2, GbE LAN, USB 3.2 Gen1

Absolutely love this motherboard. I'm running it with a Ryzen 5800X and an Arctic 360mm AIO in a Montech case, and it's been flawless from day one. No BIOS hassle, just pure plug-and-play — everything worked straight out of the box. It booted up smoothly, recognized all my components instantly, and has been rock-solid since.The VRMs handle the 5800X really well, even under heavy loads, and temps stay cool thanks to the Arctic cooler. Never had a single crash or hiccup. Build quality feels solid, and it was easy to work with during installation.If you're building a mid-to-high-end AM4 system, this board is a fantastic choice. No fuss, just performance. Highly recommend!

Perfect example of a motherboard; reasonably priced, integrated wifi, standard layouts (M-ATX, DIMM 2+4 for standard DDR), hestsinks included where beneficial, port selection is fantastic, VRMs are good enough to handle even budget PSUs for high end components (outside extreme overclocks, in which case, your issues are the OC with budget PSU, not this mobo)Highly recommended for any build that supports M-ATX for speed and ease of installation, especially if you want to maximise AM4 longevity rather than upgrade to AM5. I'd reccommend the 5700X3D with this, if you're running a mid-high end gaming rig. I run that with the 7800XT - zero complaintsPurchased one for myself, was so confident in it's quality, I purchase for other's builds too

This motherboard covers the essentials and offers solid support for various needs. It's compatible with Windows 11 and includes a Q-Flash Plus button for added convenience. Installation is straightforward, thanks to the pre-installed back panel.It's worth noting that the motherboard supports integrated GPUs and provides ample USB hubs (3.0 and up) on the back.However, there's one drawback: the fan curve setting in the BIOS doesn't save changes, which can be frustrating. Despite this minor flaw, the motherboard performs well and provides good value for its price.Overall, it's a reliable choice for gamers and PC users, offering ease of installation, excellent value, and satisfactory performance.

Looks great - works as expected and is just simple. Quality is good, and decent value for money although still pricy now for AM4.

A good board for the price. The form factor is a bit cramped, making the Pcie 2nd slot practically useless - no way could you fit 2 GPUs on it. The VRM produces quite a bit of heat, so you need to be careful with airflow. For example don't blow air over the VRM blocks into your CPU cooler - suck the air out of the case instead. Other than being a bit cramped it's a good board with plenty of USB 3 ports, 4 SATA connections and a slot for a 2nd Nvme drive. Has been stable so far, with several weeks of daily use.

first Micro ITX build, actually love this board, makes me want to convert my large ATX builds to ITX now. has everything you need on the board. Wifi works very well once the drivers directly from gigabyte was downloaded. temps are incredibly good surprisingly. Running 3950x and a 5700xt and temps are very good in a small lian li Q58 case. M.2 drives performing incredibly well, dueled up with a 500gb and a 4tb samsung pro m.2.'s. One slot is at the back of the board which is new for me, was looking at the board for 10 minutues wondering 'where on earth is the second slot'. Great product.

I bought this Motherboard on Amazon Warehouse and the board is great but the Quality Control of AW items and their descriptions are not good. This was definitely not 'Like New', but more like used with missing parts. But with the 20% off promo and further reductions due to missing parts, it ended up being really good value than it already is.I have the B450 version of this board also and the B550 board is considerably better spec'ed and has many premium features. Not only does it have onboard LED's as you'd come to expect, but the VRM's are much better and a substantial H/Sink design is found on the B550. Not only this, the rear of the motherboard has a metal frame to sink more heat away.This B550 its board has the I/O shield built into the motherboard which is welcome for installation, and has a zero CPU BIOS flash capability. If the BIOS is trashed/corrupt beyond the 'Reset CMOS' or you need the latest BIOS for say your new CPU then this will be invaluable.Another great additional is that this motherboard supports 2 NVMe SSD drives, one at the rear (Gen3) and another at the top (Gen4). This is additional to the 4 SATA ports available onboard. The only two possible downside are:1) the lack of the new USB 3.2 header for USB-C based cases, but a cheap adapter can be bought to allow a physical connection, but obviously not using the 3.2 functions, only USB 3 functions will be available.2) LED lights control is no longer in the BIOS menu's but via the LED controller apps. I used the Gigiabyte one in Windows and it does the job.The BIOS seems well laid out for a B550. Generally based on enthusiasts web pages this motherboard is in high regard in terms of features, quality, and value for money. This also has a magnetic 'shark fin' style wifi antenna rather the previous screw on mini antennas as used on their B450 kit.All in all a great motherboard for my R9 3900x with my existing 3200MHz 32GB RAM kit for my compute tasks.
