Gigabyte B550M AORUS ELITE AM4 DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard
AORUS styling meets the AMD B550 chipset on this Micro-ATX board, which pairs the AM4 socket with four DDR4 slots and dual M.2 connectors for a gaming PC that needs room to grow in both memory and storage.

Q-Flash Plus and RGB Fusion Lighting
The board supports Q-Flash Plus alongside Q-Flash, so a BIOS update can be carried out without a processor installed, and its 2 x addressable LED strip headers plus 2 x RGB LED strip headers give an AORUS-themed build plenty of lighting connections.
- Start with a Ryzen 5000 Series processor for PCIe 4.0 on the main graphics slot and the primary M.2 connector.
- Expand memory across four DDR4 slots up to 128 GB as workloads grow.
- Use the second M.2 connector and the PCIe 3.0 x4 slot for extra storage and add-in cards.
- Connect addressable and RGB strips to the four lighting headers to complete the build's look.
