UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE
With the fast-moving technology changes, GIGABYTE always follows the latest trends and provides customers with advanced features and latest technologies. GIGABYTE motherboards are equipped with upgraded power solution, latest storage standards and outstanding connectivity to enable optimized performance for gaming.
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.
To unleash full potential of multi-cores CPU performance
For CPU integrated GPU performance and memory control
Provide stable power for CPU featured PCIe lanes
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.
1. PCIe 4.0 x16 slot with faster bandwidth and lower impedance
2. M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot with lower impedance
3. PCIe 4.0 Ready Mid-Loss PCB
Thermal Design
Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsink
Smart Fan 6
Outstanding Thermal Design
GIGABYTE Motherboards' Un-throttled performance is guaranteed by innovative and optimized thermal design to ensure the best CPU, Chipset, SSD stability and low temperatures under full load application and gaming performance.
1. Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsink
High coverage MOSFET and integrated molding Heatsinks to improve thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.
2. M.2 Thermal Guard
The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.
5. 6-Layer & 2X Copper PCB
2X copper PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
1. 3X Large Surface
Increased surface area up to 3X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
2. 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.
802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E
2.5GbE LAN
Front & Rear USB-C® 10Gb/s
Hi-Fi Audio
GIGABYTE Motherboards enable the ultimate connection experience with blazing data-transfer speeds through the next generation network, storage, and WIFI connectivity.
First adopter on 2.5GbE LAN onboard
2X Faster than ever
Connecting the Future - USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C®
The USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports provide with speeds up to 10Gbps. With twice the bandwidth compared to its previous generation as well as backwards compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0, the much-improved USB 3.2 Gen 2 protocol is available over the new reversible USB Type-C™ and the traditional USB Type-A connector for better compatibility over a wider range of devices.
