Due to the upcoming platform refresh GIGABYTE introduces the B650E AORUS PRO X USB4 ahead of the curvea motherboard that allows users to get a head start on everything the next generation AM5 has to offer, bringing cutting-edge technologies such as USB-4, Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 GbE LAN, among others, with the incentive that this generational leap moreover, it will translate into better accessibility because it will be more affordable.

Support from USB-4 GIGABYTE B650E AORUS PROPorts that natively provide this connection, enabling pure data transfer at speeds of up to 40 Gbps. And what do I mean by clean? Very simple, unlike what happens with Thunderbolt 4, with USB-4 this bandwidth is not shared between the data and video signals, which translates into a lower data transfer rate if we also use this bus to connect a monitor.

Without stopping to talk about connectivity, but now we are dealing with the network, we are talking about a motherboard that provides ultra-fast connectivity both wirelessly and wired. It is already compatible with the first one WiFi 7, the version of the 802.11 protocol that will debut on Windows in Windows 11 24H2 after testing, and for which we’ve already seen some compatible devices hit the market. Recall that according to the WiFi Alliance, Wi-Fi 7 will support a performance of 30 Gbps or more. And when it comes to wired connectivity, we’re talking standard Ethernet (802.3) 2.5 LAN which, as its name suggests, is capable of offering speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps.

GIGABYTE has also focused on making the B650E AORUS PRO-based device easier to assemble EZ Solution Suite. Worth noting in this regard is the EZ-Debug zone, which has been redesigned to include debug LEDs and control buttons to provide a convenient and organized troubleshooting process. The WIFI EZ-Plug design in turn integrates the Wi-Fi antenna plugs into a single adapter, which makes mounting easier, and the already familiar PCIe EZ-Latch Plus, M.2 EZ-Latch Click and M.2 EZ. -Latch Plus allows screwless installation and anchoring of graphics cards and M.2 SSD storage units, as well as installation of coolers for the latter, also without the need for tools.

To optimize PC thermal management, the motherboard includes a extended heat pipe cooler in the VRM area as well as M.2 thermal protectionwhich guarantees the protection of the components and therefore that we can get the most out of their performance, which will be possible thanks to the fully digital 16-phase design with 80 A SPS per phase.

GIGABYTE B650E AORUS PRO X USB4 motherboard with built-in AM5 new generation will be on sale beginning of June. You can get more information on the GIGABYTE website.
