GIGABYTE B550I AORUS PRO AX (AM4 AMD/B550/Mini-Itx/Dual M.2/SATA 6Gb/s/USB 3.2 Gen 1/WiFi 6/2.5 GbE LAN/PCIe4.0/Realtek ALC1220-Vb/DisplayPort 1.4/2xHDMI 2.0B/RGB Fusion 2.0/DDR4/Gaming Motherboard)

TL;DR: I'd recommend this board however it is important to keep in mind the clearance of the SATA ports if you're using a GPU.Been using Gigabyte boards for my main rig for the better part of a decade, so this board was a bit of a no brainer for the price. I was in the market for a new AM4 mATX board because unfortunately my B450 board did not have PBO2 so it wasn't allowing for my 5700X3D to properly spread its wings. The build went along swimmingly, Windows booted as if nothing happened, BIOS update went without a hitch, and I was finally able to tune my CPU! I usually prefer to buy motherboards with Intel WiFi but the Realtek adapter has been working great. It pains me to say this because it is partially my fault for not checking, but y'all can imagine my disappointment when I connected my GPU into the PCIE slot just to find out it covers 3 out of the 4 SATA ports!!! Keep in mind this is a 3060 ti which is not a triple slot card and it has two fans... So yeah I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't think to use 90° SATA connectors like my previous AORUS did but all this does is give me an excuse to buy the CM vertical GPU mount :p

This motherboard delivers a great set of features for the price, but with a few minor things worth pointing out.The RAM slots are very close to the CPU socket, so be mindful of your cooler choice and orientation. I learned that lesson the hard way - after installing my cooler, one side of the fan shroud protruded just enough to block a RAM slot, so I had to remove the cooler, clean/reapply thermal paste, and reverse the fan orientation to make it fit.If you need to remove the stock mounting brackets for a different cooler mounting style, keep in mind that the backplate is not attached to the board. It stays in place as long as you don’t move the board, but I lifted my board while working and suddenly found myself wondering where the cooler mounting screws had disappeared to, not realizing the bracket got left behind.There were some minor quality control issues. The M.2 screws were over-tightened, so I nearly stripped them trying to remove them. There was also a USB 3.2 header issue in that the plastic socket for the USB 3.2 header came loose when I needed to unplug the cable. I was able to fit it back onto the pins just fine, but this shouldn't happen.My only real disappointment is with the M.2 slots. The board features two, but only the first one (nearest the CPU) supports PCIe 4.0 speeds. The second slot is PCIe 3.0 only, which wasn't obvious in the product description. This won’t matter for many users, but if you were planning a RAID setup like I was, it’s important to note that both drives won’t run at the same speed.I loved Q-Flash! Being able to flash the BIOS without needing a CPU installed is an awesome feature. After flashing, the BIOS handled everything in my build flawlessly - I only had to enable XMP and I was good-to-go. If you’re using a newer Ryzen CPU, be sure to check if a BIOS update is required before installation.For lighting, the board has two main LED zones - one near the I/O shield, and another with 2 LED strips and backlighting near the PCIe slots. These were individually addressable using OpenRGB in Linux. I haven’t tested RGB control in Windows yet, but Gigabyte’s software is likely needed for full customization.Overall, this is a feature-rich board for the price and Q-Flash alone makes it a great choice for Ryzen users. If you need a solid, budget-friendly AM4 motherboard that's easy to work with, this is a great choice.

One of the best mother board you can buy if you want to start upgrading your pc gamer, is a ATX size, just make sure your case is the correct size

Fácil de instalar y buena Bios la recomiendo muy fácil de configurar y trabaja perfectamente

I've never been to finicky with the visual presentation of my board, whether it be more stylish and sleek or conventional and industrial looking. Performance and ease of use are above all else. This board succeeds with the former, but can be lackluster with some of the latter.Physical installation was a breeze, but the same cannot be said about Gigabyte's proprietary software application. While the BIOS is inoffensive and easy to use, the Control Center app is an absolute nightmare. GCC tries at every opportunity to override every other first-party software dedicated to hardware control. I removed Gigabyte Fusion entirely because custom color selection from the software wasn't remotely accurate to what displayed on hardware ARGB. Even after removing everything related to Fusion in my system registry, just running GCC in the background caused hardware ARGB to flicker, and would break my PWM settings even though I don't have any other fan control software installed. I eventually just disabled GCC altogether, and even still, the Update Service will sometimes self-launch in the background randomly and inconsistently upon startup every now and then.The real pain, however, was the onboard wireless adapter. Every single component got the necessary firmware and drivers they required via LAN upon my first boot...EXCEPT the wireless adapter. I tried over and over to manually install the latest drivers listed on Gigabyte's own website, and it still would not function. It took reinstalling a wireless card for Windows to even bother retrieving the driver automatically. The adapter was now functional, but wouldn't detect 5G networks. It took hours of browsing tech forums before being directed to an off-site forum hosting Realtek drivers, then trial-and-error through downloading and attempting to manually install a few compressed packages from there before finally getting the device manager to recognize one of them and successfully install it.My last gripe would be the front-panel USB 3.0 hub location. I have no idea why Gigabyte thought it'd be great placing it right where most people would install their card in the lower PCIE port to give their storage devices some breathing room. All PC cases I've owned had beefy 3.0 plugs that need additional space lest you bend and damage either the pins, board or cable. Thankfully I'm not entirely dependent on having the front panel USB ports, but it would be nice to have them working for my leisure.All that being said, I can't complain too much or really dissuade anybody from getting this board. So as long as you avoid GCC like the plague and configure your preferred performance settings in the BIOS, it gets the job done. CPU and air cooler are snug and firmly sit, RAM runs well, all my temps are read correctly and my SSD has room to breathe. I only wish Gigabyte tech support was more helpful and informative than some obscure tech forum sites.
