GIGABYTE B550 Eagle WIFI6 DDR4 ATX Motherboard

The GIGABYTE B550 EAGLE WIFI6 is a meticulously engineered ATX motherboard designed for AMD Ryzen processors, combining cutting-edge hardware, advanced connectivity, and premium build quality to deliver an exceptional foundation for gamers, creators, and power users. It leverages the AMD B550 chipset to unlock PCIe 4.0 support for future-proof performance, along with integrated Wi-Fi 6 technology for ultra-fast wireless networking.

Unique Power & Performance Innovations

• Advanced 10+3 Phase Digital VRM with 90A Power Stages:
  Unlike many standard motherboards, the B550 EAGLE WIFI6 uses robust 90A power stages in a digital PWM controller setup, ensuring rock-solid power delivery to the CPU and integrated GPU. This design reduces thermal stress, supports sustained high loads, and improves overclocking headroom, especially useful for Ryzen 5000 series processors.

• Direct 8-Layer PCB with 2oz Copper:
  The motherboard’s PCB incorporates a thick 2oz copper layer and an 8-layer design, significantly improving electrical conductivity and heat dissipation. This enhances system stability and longevity, especially under heavy gaming or multi-threaded workloads.

• PCIe 4.0 Support on Primary M.2 and GPU Slots:
  The B550 chipset provides PCIe 4.0 x16 lanes directly from the CPU, allowing users to harness next-generation SSD speeds and maximum graphics card bandwidth. This ensures ultra-low latency and rapid data throughput for gaming and content creation.

Superior Thermal and Cooling Design

• Extended VRM Heatsink with Heatpipe Technology:
  The VRM heatsink is not just large; it uses a heatpipe to connect multiple cooling fins, effectively spreading heat away from critical power components. This cooling design is typically found in higher-end motherboards and supports peak performance without thermal throttling.

• Hybrid Fan Headers & Smart Fan 6 BIOS:
  Equipped with multiple hybrid fan headers that support PWM and voltage control, the motherboard’s Smart Fan 6 software allows precise tuning of fan speeds based on system temperature sensors, enabling silent operation during light workloads and aggressive cooling during intense use.

Cutting-Edge Connectivity

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with MU-MIMO & OFDMA:
  The integrated Intel Wi-Fi 6 module not only supports ultra-fast wireless speeds (up to 2.4 Gbps) but also enables simultaneous data streams for multiple devices, reducing latency and improving network efficiency, perfect for crowded home networks or competitive online gaming.

• Bluetooth 5.2 Support:
  Latest Bluetooth technology provides improved range, data rate, and connection stability for wireless peripherals such as headsets, keyboards, and mice.

• 2.5GbE LAN Port with Realtek RTL8125B:
  The onboard 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port offers 2.5x faster speeds than standard gigabit LAN, allowing smoother file transfers, better streaming, and lower ping times on wired networks.

Storage & Expansion Versatility

• Dual Ultra-Fast M.2 Slots with Thermal Guards:
  Both M.2 slots support NVMe PCIe SSDs with one slot compatible with PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds and equipped with thermal guards that reduce throttling by dissipating heat, extending the lifespan and maintaining SSD performance.

• Six SATA III Ports for Legacy Devices:
  Providing ample connections for traditional SATA SSDs and HDDs, supporting RAID 0, 1, 10 configurations for enhanced data speed or redundancy.

• Multi-GPU Support:
  Though primarily designed for single GPU setups, the motherboard supports AMD CrossFire technology for multi-GPU configurations, offering flexibility for users wanting to maximize graphics performance.

Design & Build Quality

• Premium Aesthetics with Black Armor & RGB Fusion 2.0:
  The board features a sleek black PCB with elegant metal armor covering critical areas, complemented by RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting support that lets users personalize their build with millions of colors and lighting effects compatible with other Gigabyte RGB components.

• Solid Capacitors & Anti-Sulfur Resistors:
  High-end capacitors rated for 10K hours and anti-sulfur resistors enhance electrical conductivity and protect against corrosion, contributing to longer motherboard life and stable power delivery.

User-Friendly & Future-Proof Features

• Q-Flash Plus BIOS Update Without CPU or Memory:
  Enables users to update the motherboard BIOS easily, even before installing the CPU or RAM, which is critical for compatibility with newer processors out of the box.

• PCIe EZ-Latch & Ultra Durable™ PCIe Armor:
  Secure PCIe slot design helps prevent damage during GPU installation/removal, while PCIe armor protects the slot from electromagnetic interference and physical stress.

• Comprehensive I/O Shield Pre-installed:
  The integrated shield simplifies installation, reduces electrostatic discharge (ESD) risk, and provides a neat, durable rear panel finish.

Physical & Compatibility Specs

• Form Factor: ATX (30.5cm x 24.4cm) — Fits most mid and full tower PC cases.

• Memory Support: Up to 128GB DDR4, Quad Channel (OC up to 4733+ MHz)
