The Gigabyte B650 AORUS Elite AX ICE is equipped with the B650 chipset, which was developed for AMD's Ryzen 7000 series processors, and offers numerous functions for overclockers and gamers. As the Ryzen 7000 series processors support PCIe 5.0 and an improved power supply, the new AM5 socket (LGA 1718) is used on the 600 series motherboards. Despite the higher pin count, the socket size remains the same so that most CPU coolers are still compatible with the AM4 socket. The mainboard is optimised for overclocking so that you can play even demanding games without any problems. The voltage converters with 9 physical and 12 virtual phases deliver 60 A to ensure a stable power supply to the CPU and maintain its high clock rates over a longer period of time. The motherboard also offers functions such as BIOS Flashback and Clear CMOS to quickly restore the PC if problems occur. The DDR5 RAM can also be set to higher clock rates.
