GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WiFi DDR4 is an ATX form-factor motherboard built on the AMD B450 chipset and designed for the AM4 socket. It supports AMD Ryzen 1st and 2nd Generation processors as well as AMD Ryzen processors with Radeon Vega Graphics, and is backward-compatible with the Ryzen platform family across multiple generations. For memory, the board provides four DDR4 DIMM slots in a dual-channel architecture, supporting up to 64 GB of system memory. Speeds of DDR4 3200 (O.C.), 2933, 2667, 2400, and 2133 MHz are supported, along with XMP profiles for enthusiast memory kits. Storage is well-provisioned: two M.2 Socket 3 connectors handle NVMe SSDs via PCIe 3.0, while six SATA 6Gb/s ports support traditional drives. RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 configurations are available across the SATA array. An M.2 Thermal Guard helps dissipate heat from the primary M.2 slot to reduce thermal throttling. Connectivity is a standout strength. The integrated Wi-Fi module supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band frequencies with Bluetooth 4.2, and two SMA antenna connectors are present on the rear panel. Wired networking is handled by an Intel Gigabit Ethernet chip. The back panel also features a USB Type-C port with USB 3.1 Gen 2 support, a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A port, four USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, HDMI 2.0 (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz), and a DVI-D port for systems with integrated AMD Radeon Graphics. Audio is powered by a Realtek ALC1220-VB codec delivering High Definition Audio across 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel configurations, complemented by optical S/PDIF output. The board’s amplified audio path uses WIMA FKP2 and Chemicon audio capacitors. RGB Fusion 2.0 enables per-zone lighting control across onboard LEDs and external RGBW or digital LED strips. Smart Fan 5 provides granular PWM and voltage-mode fan control with customisable curves mapped to multiple thermal sensors. Gigabyte DualBIOS offers redundant firmware protection, and the AMI UEFI BIOS supports Q-Flash for straightforward firmware updates.
