Gigabyte B650E AORUS Stealth ICE AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard

The GIGABYTE B650E Aorus Stealth ICE is a full-size ATX motherboard built on the AMD B650E chipset with an AM5 socket, designed to support AMD Ryzen 9000, Ryzen 8000, and Ryzen 7000 series processors. It targets enthusiast PC builders and gamers who want a white-aesthetic, feature-rich platform without moving to the X670E tier. At the heart of its power delivery is a digital 12+2+2 phase VRM solution paired with VRM Thermal Armor Advanced, keeping temperatures in check under sustained workloads. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256 GB of memory at speeds up to DDR5-8000 (with AMD EXPO and XMP profile support), giving headroom for both everyday use and memory-sensitive tasks. Storage flexibility is addressed by three M.2 Socket 3 connectors — the primary slot runs PCIe 5.0 x4, enabling next-generation NVMe drives — alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. The primary PCIe x16 slot (PCIe UD Slot X) runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 with Ryzen 9000/7000 processors, or PCIe 4.0 x8/x4 with Ryzen 8000 Series Phoenix variants. Connectivity is equally capable: an onboard Intel Wi-Fi 7 module with Bluetooth 5.4 pairs with a 2.5 GbE LAN port for wired and wireless high-speed networking. The back panel offers one HDMI port, one USB Type-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, five USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and four USB 2.0/1.1 ports. Audio is handled by an 8-channel HD audio codec with audiophile-grade capacitors and three audio jacks. Installation is streamlined through several GIGABYTE proprietary features: EZ-Latch Click for screwless M.2 heatsinks, EZ-Latch Plus for quick-release M.2 slots, M.2 EZ-Match magnetic alignment, and WIFI EZ-Plug for antenna installation. The Sensor Panel Link onboard video port supports in-chassis display panels without a discrete GPU. RGB customisation is provided via two addressable RGB Gen2 headers and one standard RGB header.
