GIGABYTE B550M GAMING X WIFI6 DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard

The GIGABYTE B550M GAMING X WIFI6 is a high-performance micro‑ATX motherboard built on the AMD B550 chipset, designed for gamers and content creators who demand cutting-edge connectivity, efficient cooling, and reliable performance.

Intelligent Cooling & DIY Customization

• Smart Fan 6 BIOS Interface: Offers up to 7 adjustable control points, with a dual graph display for smooth‑curve (slope) and stepped (stair) fan profiles. Custom settings can be saved directly in ROM—even across BIOS updates—and easily tweaked with EZ‑Tuning presets

• High‑current headers: Each of the 3 chassis/CPU fan headers handles up to 24 W (12 V×2 A), plus over‑current protection and support for both PWM and DC fans or water pumps

DIY‑Friendly Build Experience

• EZ‑Latch PCIe slot: A one‑click release mechanism makes GPU installation or replacement smooth and tool‑free

• WIFI EZ‑Plug: Wi‑Fi antenna module integrates into a compact plug that snaps on/off easily, simplifying antenna placement in tight cases

• Pre‑installed I/O shield and Q‑Flash Plus: Update the BIOS using only power and a USB stick—no need for CPU, RAM, or GPU—to ensure compatibility with new Ryzen CPUs out of the box

Long‑Lasting Power Delivery & Cooling

• 5+3 digital VRM with premium solid‑state capacitors gives stable power for Ryzen CPUs—including overclocking—while the full metal Thermal Armor heat‑sink, backed with 5 W/mK pads, reduces temperature under load

• Ultra Durable™ Construction: Reinforced 10x PCIe‑4.0 x16 slot, strengthened power connectors, anti‑sulfur resistor coatings, and robust PCB layers all contribute to longevity

Storage & Expansion Capabilities

• Dual M.2 slots (up to 110 mm):

  1. CPU‑linked M2A: PCIe 4.0 x4 for ultimate NVMe performance

  2. Chipset‑linked M2B: PCIe 3.0 x2 or SATA

• Supports RAID 0/1/10 across M.2 and SATA devices for customized speed and redundancy

High-Speed Networking & Audio

• Realtek RTL8851BE Wi‑Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.3: Fast dual-band wireless networking with improved range and data rates

• Wired Realtek Gigabit LAN with built-in bandwidth prioritization, ideal for latency-sensitive gaming and multimedia

• ALC1220 audio codec delivers clean 7.1-channel sound with shielded PCB layout and optical SPDIF out for immersive audio setups .

Display & USB Connectivity

• Advanced integrated video outputs:

  • HDMI 2.1 (4K @60 Hz + HDR, HDCP 2.3)

  • DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 5K @60 Hz + HDR)

• One internal USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 header plus four rear USB‑A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and two USB‑A 2.0 make for modern and legacy device support

BIOS & Software Ecosystem

• Packed with GIGABYTE utilities:

  • @BIOS for firmware updates

  • EasyTune for in-Windows overclocking

  • System Information Viewer with sensor readouts

  • RGB Fusion for lighting sync

  • Smart Backup and Norton Security OEM bundled

Compact yet Powerful Micro‑ATX Design

• Size: 244 × 244 mm, supports full‑size ATX gloveboxes while leaving room for cable management and airflow in smaller mATX cases .

• Internal headers include TPM, COM, additional USB 2.0/3.2, plus 2× RGB + 2× ARGB connectors for case lighting.
