Gigabytes B550 Gaming X V2, AMD B550 Mainboard - Socket AM4 [B550 GAMING X V2]

B550 motherboards support all features of the Ryzen processors of the third and fourth generation, above all the PCI Express standard in version 4.0 (PCIe 4.0). PCIe 4.0 is downward compatible and can be used with all expansion cards from previous generations. In addition, the mainboards support up to 128 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock rate of 3200 megahertz. With overclocking, much higher clock rates are possible, depending on the motherboard. The B550 chipset also allows the processor to be overclocked.

Note: The following specifications regarding the PCIe lanes, connection of the M.2 slots and connection of the PCIe slots relate to the combination of the B550 chipset with a third or fourth generation Ryzen CPU (Zen 2 "Matisse" / Zen 3 "Vermeer")!

The features of the Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 at a glance:
- 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x16), 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x2) and 3x PCIe 3.0 x1
- 1x USB 3.0 type C (internal) / 1x USB 3.1 type A (external) / 5x USB 3.0 (internal, external) / 6x USB 2.0 (internal, external)
- 2x M.2 (1x PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA / 1x PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA) / 4x SATA 6G
- DDR4 memory up to 4,733 MHz using OC
- Ideal for AMD CPUs of the Ryzen 3000 and Ryzen 5000 series (Matisse / Vermeer)

The features of the Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 in detail
The Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 is an ATX mainboard and has a PCI Express 4.0 slot with full x16 connection for graphics cards plus a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. The four RAM banks support up to 128 GB DDR4 main memory with a clock rate of up to 3,200 megahertz and can even handle clock rates of up to 4,733 MHz via OC.

The AM4 mainboard provides two M.2 slots. One slot is connected with four PCI Express 4.0 lanes. M.2 SSDs with the advanced NVM Express protocol (NVMe) and a connection via four PCI Express 4.0 lanes support data transfer rates of up to 8 GByte / s and are twice as fast as via PCI Express 3.0. The other is connected with four PCI Express 3.0 lanes. Both slots are also connected with the SATA-6G protocol and accept plug-in cards up to 110 mm (22110).
