GIGABYTE B650M Gaming WIFI DDR5 AMD Motherboard

The Gigabyte B650M Gaming WIFI is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the AMD B650 chipset with an AM5 socket, designed for AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors. Measuring 24.0 cm x 22.5 cm, it fits compact mid-tower and small-form-factor cases while delivering a capable feature set for gaming and productivity builds. Memory support is provided through two DDR5 DIMM slots with a dual-channel architecture, accommodating up to 96 GB of system memory (48 GB per DIMM) at speeds ranging from DDR5-4400 up to DDR5-6400 (OC). Both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP profiles are supported for straightforward memory tuning. For expansion, the board provides one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot driven directly by the CPU, ideal for a discrete graphics card, alongside one chipset-driven PCIe 3.0 x1 slot. An EZ-Latch mechanism on the primary x16 slot simplifies GPU installation and removal. Storage options include one M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, 2280 form factor) with PCIe 4.0 x4 support, plus four SATA 6 Gb/s ports, all supporting RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 configurations. Networking is handled by a Realtek 2.5GbE LAN chip supporting 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps speeds, while wireless connectivity is provided by an AzureWave AW-CB304NF module (Realtek RTL8821CE) supporting 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual bands along with Bluetooth 4.2. Display output through the CPU's integrated AMD Radeon graphics includes one HDMI 2.1 port (up to 4096x2160 @ 60 Hz) and one D-Sub port (up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz). Audio is managed by a Realtek High Definition Audio CODEC supporting 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel output via three back-panel audio jacks. USB connectivity on the rear panel includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and four USB 2.0/1.1 ports, with additional internal headers for further expansion. The board also features Q-Flash Plus, allowing BIOS updates without a CPU, memory, or GPU installed, and supports GIGABYTE Control Center software for system monitoring and fan control via Smart Fan 6. RGB customisation is available through two addressable LED headers and one RGB LED header. The BIOS is an AMI UEFI implementation stored on a 256 Mbit flash chip.
