Overview
The Gigabyte B550M DS3H is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the AMD B550 chipset, designed for AMD Socket AM4 and compatible with 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors, including models with integrated Radeon Graphics. It offers a practical and feature-rich platform for builders seeking a compact footprint without sacrificing modern connectivity. Memory support is generous for the segment: four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodate up to 128 GB of system memory (up to 32 GB per DIMM) in dual-channel configuration. Speed support extends to DDR4 4000 MHz (O.C.) with 3rd Gen Ryzen processors, and up to DDR4 4733 MHz (O.C.) with Ryzen APU variants. Both ECC and non-ECC unbuffered DIMMs are supported, and XMP profiles are recognised for straightforward overclocking. For storage, two M.2 Socket 3 (M-key) connectors are provided. The CPU-connected M.2 slot (M2A_CPU) supports PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drives (with 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs) as well as SATA SSDs in sizes up to 22110. The chipset-connected M.2 slot (M2B_SB) supports PCIe 3.0 x2 and SATA SSDs in sizes up to 2280. Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support round out the storage options. The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x16 mode with 3rd Gen Ryzen (non-APU) CPUs, delivering full bandwidth for discrete graphics cards. An additional PCIe x16 physical slot wired at x4 (PCIe 3.0) and a PCIe x1 slot are also present. Display outputs on the rear panel include one HDMI 2.1 port (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz with HDR and HDCP 2.3) and one DVI-D port (up to 1920×1200 @ 60 Hz), available when using a Ryzen APU with integrated Radeon graphics. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC887 codec supporting up to 7.1-channel High Definition Audio. Networking is provided by a Realtek GbE LAN chip (1000/100 Mbit). USB connectivity includes four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and four USB 2.0 ports on the rear panel, with additional headers for internal expansion. RGB Fusion 2.0 supports both addressable LED (ARGB) and standard RGB LED strips via dedicated headers. Smart Fan 5 enables temperature-based fan control across multiple headers, and Q-Flash Plus allows BIOS updates without a CPU or memory installed.
