GIGABYTE B550X Gaming AM4 ATX Motherboard, DDR4, 2x M.2

The GIGABYTE B550X Gaming is an ATX motherboard for AMD processors, built on the AMD B550 chipset with Socket AM4. It gives a Ryzen-based desktop a solid foundation, with four DDR4 memory slots and two M.2 slots for fast storage.

  • Chipset: AMD B550
  • CPU socket: Socket AM4
  • Form factor: ATX
  • Memory: DDR4-SDRAM, 4 slots
  • M.2 slots: 2 (M-key)
  • Wi-Fi: Not built in

Description

Room for memory and fast storage

Four DDR4 slots let you start with two memory modules and add more later without replacing what you already have. The two M.2 slots take compact SSDs for your operating system, games and projects, which keeps the inside of the case tidier than a setup built around 2.5-inch drives and their cables.

A standard ATX layout

The full-size ATX form factor fits a wide range of standard tower cases and leaves comfortable spacing between components. The board has no built-in Wi-Fi, so it suits a wired Ethernet connection, or you can add a wireless adapter separately if you need one.

Who it suits

This motherboard is a sensible pick for building or upgrading an AMD Socket AM4 gaming PC, a home office desktop or a general-purpose workstation. It works well for anyone who wants a B550 platform with expandable DDR4 memory and dual M.2 storage.
