Just noticed this has dropped to $269 today. It’s been sitting at $289 for a while, so a nice little price cut if you’re planning an AM5 build with one of the better B650M boards out there.

Compared to other B650M options, this one stands out with one of its two M.2 slots that supports PCIe 5.0 x4, giving you more futureproofing. Power delivery is solid with a 12+2+1 digital VRM, which holds up well even with higher-end Ryzen chips.

    $269 is a great price but once you add $10 postage and $2.79 Surcharge its not the best.. :)

    • zachhambo on 29/05/2025 - 21:47

      Yep, I settled on Asus b650m-e for $220, unfortunately MSI pro b650m-a is out of stock for another 2 weeks at centrecom

      • vid_ghost on 30/05/2025 - 07:22

        The Asus Tuff b650m-e can be updated to PCIe 5.0 on the GPU with the lateat bios update and so can this Gigabyte Aorus board.. the MSI B650 $220 boards can not and MSI have not said anything about it..

        • selphie on 11/06/2025 - 13:04

          curious, how do you find out which B650 mobo models will update to PCIe 5.0 GPU?

    Have been running this with the 7800x3d since release - solid board, good performance and never any issues for me

    • Goonos on 29/05/2025 - 22:30

      Any coil whine? Seems Gigabyte boards suffer more from this than other manufacturers which is putting me off.

        I'm running rev 1.3 with no coil whine with a 9800x3d.

      • aleminium on 02/06/2025 - 18:26

        No coil whine for me - did read others had experienced it

      • Goonos on 24/06/2025 - 10:48

        Just to follow up, from these recommendations I bought this motherboard, rev 1.3 and have not noticed any coil whine. So far so good.

    Depending on the board revision, you get a different WiFi chip, so if you care about it, probably want to visit a store to check.

    PCB rev. 1.0: AMD Wi-Fi 6E RZ616 (MediaTek MT7922A22M); Bluetooth 5.2
    PCB rev. 1.1: Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210; Bluetooth 5.3
    PCB rev. 1.2: Realtek Wi-Fi 6E RTL8852CE; Bluetooth 5.3
    PCB rev. 1.3: Realtek Wi-Fi 6E RTL8852CE; Bluetooth 5.3

    • EG1995 on 30/05/2025 - 11:59

      Is there any significant differences between those chips used?
      I guess if I am asking this question it doesn't really apply to me xD

    Too expensive imo. I recently picked up an Asus TUF B650E-E full ATX mobo for $236 (with an extra 3% off using gift cards) from Amazon Germany.

    • MochiBSH on 29/05/2025 - 23:09

      Not really a fair comparison. That’s a full ATX board from Amazon Germany. This deal’s for mATX with local stock and warranty.

      There's no such board. I think you mean Asus TUF B650-E which is lower-ended than this AORUS Elite which is on the same product positioning with TUF non -E.

  • Orazio on 30/05/2025 - 00:09

    Any reason to buy this over ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-E WIFI for $210?

      This is even better than TUF B650M PLUS while TUF B650M-E is a nerfed version of TUF B650M PLUS.

      B650M AORUS Elite uses better VRM and heatsink which make it capable to run at higher power and to be cooler running whatever CPUs. Also, its PCIe x16 slot is on the first slot while TUF is on one slot lower. Gigabyte nerfed it on ver 1.3 which is the most likely version we can get, but it doesn't matter (still somewhat disgusting though).

      TUF B650M-E is also capable to run all existing compatible CPUs on default. If you don't plan to upgrade or build a high end system, then TUF B650M-E is indeed better-valued.

      • zachhambo on 30/05/2025 - 07:53

        https://youtu.be/pUUVW7wgR3s gigabyte has better vrm but is only 1c cooler running 7950x

      • diaz on 30/05/2025 - 21:51

        What was nerfed with v1.3? Would this board be OK to use with the 2027 AM5 CPUs?

          PCB Layer: 8➡️6

          MOS: NCP303160 (60A)➡️NCP302155(55A)

          PWM: XDPE192C3B ➡️ RT3678BE

          won't change anything noticable but according to Gigabyte, newer versions reduces the coil wine in earlier versions

      You get wifi 6e vs wifi6 on ths ASUS and more VRMs. 8 phases vs 12 phases on the Gigabyte.

      Both have PCIE 5.0 on the GPU and 5.0 on 1 Nvme slot with the latest bios.

      The Gigabyte may handle memory better for a little faster boot time and runs cooler.. all in all the price is king and thats were the ASUS wins

      • Dienk on 30/05/2025 - 07:51

        The Gigabyte is PCI-e 4.0 only.

        • vid_ghost on 30/05/2025 - 13:43

          Latest bios changes that to PCI-e 5.0 .. i know because i can now enable 5.0 in bios and before it was only 4.0

            @vid_ghost: Not sure why someone neg my post. This information is available in the Gigabyte website saying it is 4.0. I didn't know they could update that via bios, I thought it was a hardware limitation

            • selphie on 11/06/2025 - 13:41

              @Dienk: so did I! If they could enable PCIE5 with a simple BIOS update then they could do it with any B650 board, no?

      • Orazio on 30/05/2025 - 10:35

        Both are PCIE 4.0 only for the GPU, far as I can tell.

        • vid_ghost on 30/05/2025 - 13:44

          Both can now use PCIE 5.0 with the latest bios.. also worth noting that the PCIe 5.0 is coming from the CPU.. not the motherboard :)

          The reason AMD didnt allow PCIe 5.0 on the GPU socket in the first place is to create an artificial segregation in its B650 VS X650E chip sets even though both the same thing .. with all B850 boards now supporting PCIe 5.0 on the GPU they have relaxed the rules and some MS makers are adding support in bios… MSI is not bothering with it

          • Meteor Anarcom on 30/05/2025 - 18:22

            @vid_ghost:

            with all B850 boards now supporting PCIe 5.0 on the GPU

            This isn't true. B850 chipset did not force PCIe x16 slot to be Gen 5. There are some B850 boards still don't support PCIe 5.0 on the graphics card slot such as ASRock B850M-X, BIOSTAR B850MT2-E DJ.

            Although PCIe Gen 5 is supported on these consumer level motherboards, actually none of them could satisfy PCIe 5.0 minimum channel loss budget by PCI-SIG. This is one of the reasons why sometimes PCIe 5.0 SSD or graphics cards are problematic. It's not likely because of those Gen 5 devices but more likely because of the PCIe layout of motherboards.

    • selphie on 11/06/2025 - 13:46

      from what I read, both chipsets had similar features? there weren't really any efficiency/function differences between them.

  • 8azinga on 10/06/2025 - 18:21

    Can anyone explain why isnt Corsair Vengeance 6000mhz CL30 (CMK32GX5M2B6000Z30) supported with Ryzen 7000 series but is on 9000 series?
    Bought it as i was thinking of using a different board but then came across this deal.

    • selphie on 11/06/2025 - 13:49

      it should be supported on any AM5 boards with recent BIOS on both gen processors on Expo settings. where did you see differently?

      • 8azinga on 11/06/2025 - 14:19

        https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650M-AORUS-ELITE-AX-re…
        Go to memory support, choose 7000 series processor and it only shows CL36 and CL40 vsrsions for corsair 6000mhz. If you choose 9000 series processor, it shows the CL30 supported.

        • selphie on 11/06/2025 - 14:33

          i used that link and it shows your exact ram model is supported on 9000, it doesn't show on 7000. what this means is that gigabyte has tested it with a 9000 processor and it worked; the exact ram wasn't tested on 7000. i would take it as good news, since most ppl have no issues running ram at 6000-6200mhz on 7000 processors, I say it will most probably be fine.

          • 8azinga on 11/06/2025 - 16:47

            @selphie: I realise it means they tested it but it could also mean that they tested thr corsair ram with 7000 series and had issues so didnt list it as supported. I was curious why 7000/9000 chip would be different. Seems other brands also have less CL30 options for 7000 series on that list.
            Can always return the corsair and buy something else on the list but just a bit more hassle and maybe return postage cost.

            • selphie on 11/06/2025 - 16:58

              @8azinga: up to you, but I would risk it. when AM5 first released some RAMs couldn't run at Expo setting, but these were mostly resolved in the following years through AGESA updates.

    • Goonos on 24/06/2025 - 10:52

      I have this exact ram, a Ryzen 7700 and and this motherboard. It's supported. No issues so far.

      • 8azinga on 24/06/2025 - 12:15

        Thanks. Ended up with the asus to save some $ but good to know.
