The Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE motherboard allows you to assemble a first-class gaming configuration. It has a lot of possibilities to assemble a PC that will allow you to play the latest titles in the best possible conditions.
  • AMD AM4 socket for AMD Ryzen processors (Pinnacle Ridge, Raven Ridge & Summit Ridge)
  • 4 Dual-Channel DDR4 3200 MHz (OC) Memory Slots - 64 GB maximum
  • 6 SATA 6Gbit/s + 1x M.2 PCIe 4x NVMe / SATA 6 Gbit/s + 1 M.2 PCIe 2x NVMe
  • 2 x PCIe 16x ports
  • Smart Fan 5 cooling control with 0 RPM mode
  • Gigabit LAN networking with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator Software
  • 2 RGB LED connectors with RGB Fusion support


Control your cooling performance

With Smart Fan 5, control your PC with finesse. Smart Fan 5 allows you to manage the fan connectors through the different connectors on the PCB. Smart Fan 5 is compatible with PWM fans for optimal management of liquid cooling systems.
  • Hybrid Fan Connectors detect whether the cooling system is using PWM or Voltage mode and adjust accordingly.
  • Over-voltage protection for optimal management of high-end fan systems
  • 0 RPM mode

Finally, theBIOS interface has been redesigned to offer a number of innovations similar to those of the Smart Fan 5 UI: active stages according to temperature scenarios, definition of ventilation curves, reduction of noise pollution following sudden temperature changes... all this without leaving Windows!

    PArfait

    This card has lasted since I received it at an infernal rate.
    I recommend it without RGB, it works very well.

    Excellent, but...

    Excellent motherboard for AMD processor but I couldn't find an application to manage RGB. You have to go through the BIOS/UEFI. I've owned it for 3 years and I've only had 1 problem with it (Windows update that did anything). The BIOS/UEFI changed my BOOT options so I couldn't boot without changing them again.

    Blue screen on repeat

    What a problem with it,
    I've been using it for a while now, but it's not really working, it's just going to blue screen as soon as I put the manufacturer's drivers on (windows10).
    I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'm sure it'll be fine if it's working properly.

    Functional

    The card is not really in ATX format, so the whole inside part (24-pin connectors) is not supported by anything, so be careful when mounting. We also regret the absence of RGB on the top part. The BIOS is not very ergonomic and I miss my old MSI in this respect.
    The Nvme SSD cooling is a nice addition.

    Very good motherboard for its price

    This is a very good motherboard with RGB LEDs, two M.2 slots, an LED connector for the CPU and you can do CrossFire for its price for a Gamer PC.

    Well

    Good value for money. The card does its job well. Positive points: 2 M.2 slots, 4 fan connectors, aesthetics and integrated LEDs. Minuses: a soldering point on the beeper failed. The SIV application for controlling the CM from Win10 does not work even when taking the latest version from the manufacturer's website.
