GIGABYTE’s B550 AORUS PRO is here, it’s affordable and it goes like the clappers. Armed with 2.5G Lan, dual M.2 sockets, a 12+2 phase PWM and the ability to overclock memory well past the 5,200MT/s range, the board is a mini performance wonder. The B550 AORUS Pro is the fastest AM4 board I’ve tested to date. For DRAM oc and general performance, few if any are faster then the B550 AORUS PRO.

Today we will be presenting the Gigabyte AMD B550 AORUS Pro from Gigabyte! The B550 chipset will have some limitations compared to X570 but will provide a budget friendly option for the Ryzen 3000 CPU’s. And still provide all the great speed we are looking for! For some time now Gigabyte has been the choice, for me personally, when I buy my Motherboards.

The Aorus Pro still has all the parts we want – PCI Express 4.0 (albeit few lanes than the X570), USB 3.2 Gen2, support for 5GHz+ DDR4 and all the Ryzen CPUs. In fact it’s tough to see exactly what you’re missing out on if you choose to go down the B550 route or even just the Pro rather than the Master.

The AORUS range has become a byword for fantastic quality and performance over the last few years. I mean, really they’re Gigabyte boards, but AORUS is their high-end range much like STRIX is for ASUS and MEG is for MSI. The pro shows us that they can still compete with or beat anything else out there.

The Gigabyte B550 AORUS Pro features a 12+2 power stage design utilizing 50 A stages from Vishay Semiconductor. BIOS flashback makes an appearance in the form of Q-Flash Plus, as well as Gigabyte’s famed finned VRM cooling solution. For connectivity, the Gigabyte B550 AORUS Pro includes two M.2 slots, both with full coverage heatsinks, as well as 2.5 Gb/s LAN powered by Realtek.

We managed to get our hands on the Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO for a quick run with a Ryzen 3 3300X just to see what kind of performance can we expect from the budget-friendly(?) Ryzen 3000 pair. Without any further ado, here’s the summary of our experience with the board.

The trio all features an integrated I/O shield. The Pro and Elite share the same power-delivery consisting of a 12-phase supply to the CPU plus another two for the SoC. In detail, the boards use a six-phase Intersil ISL229004 PWM that’s doubled and connected to 12 Vishay SiC651C phases each capable of 55A. These appear to be unique to B550 as the Aorus X570 boards use different setups.
