GIGABYTE B650E EAGLE motherboard AM5, ATX, DDR5, PCIe 5.0 x16, 2.5 GbE

The GIGABYTE B650E EAGLE is an ATX motherboard with an AM5 socket for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors. Unlike the regular B650 EAGLE, it has a PCIe 5.0 graphics card slot, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and memory support up to DDR5-8200 overclocked; there is no Wi-Fi on board.

  • Platform: AMD B650E, Socket AM5, ATX (305 × 244 mm)
  • Memory: 4 × DDR5 DIMM, dual channel, up to 256 GB, overclocked up to DDR5-8200
  • Storage: 3 × M.2 (1 × PCIe 5.0, 2 × PCIe 4.0), 4 × SATA III, RAID 0/1/5/10
  • Expansion slots: 1 × PCIe 5.0 x16, 1 × PCIe 4.0, 2 × PCIe 3.0
  • Network: 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet (Realtek RTL8125), no Wi-Fi
  • Rear panel: HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, 2 × USB 10 Gbit/s Type-A, 2 × USB 5 Gbit/s, USB-C

Description

Ready for next-generation graphics cards

The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot gives a current graphics card its full bandwidth, and EZ-Latch Plus lets you remove the card without screws. The processor is fed by an 8+2+2 phase digital VRM. Four case fan headers and two pump headers cover a liquid-cooled build, and RAID 5 support lets you combine SATA drives into a more resilient array.

Who this motherboard is for

Builders who put a new graphics card and fast DDR5 memory into an AM5 PC and want a 2.5 Gbit/s wired link to the home network. Three M.2 slots and four SATA ports hold several drives. If you need wireless networking, a separate Wi-Fi card has to be added.

Questions & answers

Which processors does this motherboard support?

It has an AM5 socket, and the manufacturer lists AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors. AM4 processors do not fit this socket.

How does it differ from the B650 EAGLE?

The B650E EAGLE adds a PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot, 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet, RAID 5 and memory support up to DDR5-8200. The regular B650 EAGLE has a 12+2+2 phase VRM, this one 8+2+2.

Does DDR4 memory work?

No. The board takes DDR5 DIMM modules only, up to 256 GB across four slots, or 64 GB per slot.
