Description
GIGABYTE Motherboard B550M GAMING Purchasing a low-cost motherboard is a complicated and perplexing task.
This motherboard resembles Gigabyte’s own B550M S2H motherboard in appearance, but without the ultra-durable branding and with hints of a gaming-oriented target audience.
It appears to check all of the criteria, with out-of-the-box support for the latest Ryzen 5000 series processors, the latest Gen 4 M.2 NVMe drives, and built-in BIOS flashback functionality.
GIGABYTE Motherboard B550M GAMING
They build the motherboard around the B550 chipset, which replaces the B450 chipset, which was previously quite popular. This chipset serves as a low-cost alternative to the more expensive X570 chipsets on the market, while still allowing for overclocking of the processor and RAM (or memory).
The B550 chipset is my favourite motherboard chipset since it brings the key functionality of high-end boards to mainstream gamers. This model is at the low end of the B550 chipset’s price range, hence it lacks the USB C, WiFi 6, and 2.5G ethernet features present on higher B550 models.
