Description
The B550 AORUS PRO AC version includes an Intel Wi-Fi 5 interface,two PCIe M.2 slots, one PCIe 4.0 x4 and one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, a Realtek 2.5 G Ethernet controller, and three full-length PCIe slots that operate at x16 and x16/x+4/x+2 are the most notable additions.
In terms of design, the GIGABYTE B550 Aorus Pro AC has an all-black PCB with black and grey heatsinks. GIGABYTE advertises a 12+2 power delivery with a single 8-pin 12 V ATX CPU power input that powers the processor directly.
There are two M.2 slots for storage, with the top slot powered by the processor and supporting up to PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 SSDs, and the second slot controlled by the chipset and thus supporting up to PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 drives. In addition, there are six SATA ports that support RAID 0, 1, and 10 arrays. One thing we’ve noticed with the B550 is that vendors are QVL’ing even fast memory, which the B550 Aorus Pro supports DDR4-5200 memory with a maximum capacity of 128 GB across four memory slots.
The B550 Aorus Pro AC use a 12+2 phase power delivery, with twelve Vishay SiC651C 50 A CPU power stages and two SiC651AD 50 A SoC power stages. It is using an Intersil ISL229004 in a 6+2 configuration, with six ISL6617A doublers for the CPU section.
On the back panel of B550 Aorus Pro AC there is a single USB 3.2 G2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 G2 Type-A ports, three USB 3.2 G1 Type-A ports, and six USB 2.0 ports. There is also a Q-Flash Plus button and a single Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5 G Ethernet port. The B550 Pro AC model has two antenna ports for the Intel AC3168 Wi-Fi 5 adapter. The rear panel is completed by a single HDMI 2.1 video output for users looking to use Ryzen-based APUs, while the 3.5 mm audio jacks and S/PDIF optical output are powered by a Realtek ALC1220-VB HD audio codec.

The GIGABYTE B550 Aorus Pro AC has a lower price point, it costing $189 without the Wi-Fi 6 adapter. For the price, this model is still stacked and provide PCIe 4.0 support in both the top full-length and top M.2 slots. There is also 2.5 G Ethernet, which the X570 models do not have at this price point, making the B550 an appealing alternative. Not to mention the board’s large 12+2 advertised power delivery.
