GIGABYTE B650 UD AX (rev. 1.0) AM5 LGA 1718 AMD B650 ATX DDR5, PCIe 4.0 M.2

Product Description

The Gigabyte B650 UD AX is an ATX-form motherboard built for AMD’s AM5 socket with the B650 chipset. It’s designed to support Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors. The board makes use of DDR5 memory, with four DIMM slots, supporting up to 256 GB total, and moderate to high overclocked speeds (depending on kit and BIOS). In storage terms, it features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot plus two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, along with four SATA III ports. These give options for fast NVMe SSDs and more traditional storage. Its power delivery is handled by a digital VRM design with a 6+2+2 phase layout to ensure stable power under load. For networking, it includes built-in WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and Gigabit Ethernet. The audio section uses a high-definition codec with 8-channel output, enhanced by Gigabyte’s audio protection features. For cooling, it offers Smart Fan 6, multiple temperature sensors, hybrid fan headers (PWM/DC), and features like PCIe EZ-Latch for easier installation. There is also Q-Flash Plus, which allows BIOS updates without needing CPU, memory, or GPU installed.
