GIGABYTE B650 Eagle AX AM5 LGA 1718 ATX Motherboard, DDR5, Triple M.2 Slots (1x PCIe 5.0, 2X PCIe 4.0), USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, WiFi 6E, Realtek GbE LAN

I bought this motherboard on a Black Friday sale to pair with an AMD Ryzen 5 9600x. Previously, I had always got micro-ATX boards but I wanted more expansion slots this time around. I'm really happy with the number of NVMe slots on the board & PCIe slots. PCIe 5.0 is a really nice feature to have on a board for this price. It really helps it age alot better for future upgrades. ARGB and Fan Connectors are numerous on the board as well. It has a really nice look to it with the heat sinks. The WiFi 6 support built into the board runs just as well as my standalone card I previously used on my old build. The bluetooth has good range and seems to work better than the standalone care I had before. I updated the bios to the newest available & used EXPO 1 for my Team Group 16gb (8x2) DDR5 Memory (6000mhz). PCIe 5.0 will help future proof my build the board's gaming capability as well. The board is heavy and feels really well bilt. I really can't think of thing I would change or that I would say needs to be improved. It's a really great board so far. It includes everything you need to get started (including antennas for the integrated wifi). I would definitely order again and recommend to a friend.

Best motherboardbfor the price. Easy to install, built in wifi, tons of heat sinks to control thermals!

Picked this up to pair with my Ryzen 7500F and couldn't be happier. Installation was straightforward, the BIOS is clean and easy to navigate, and the board posted first try with no issues. RAM ran at XMP speeds without any fiddling, which is always a plus. Haven't run into any stability issues after weeks of daily use including some heavy gaming sessions. For anyone building a mid-range AMD system on a budget, this board hits the sweet spot between price and performance. I personally picked that one over others because of the future proofing it gives, I can easily pair it with any current AM5 cpu and will be able to upgrade when ever I need to thanks to 12+2+2 phase. And also the m.2 gen 5 support which is not something you'll find on every b650. Would definitely recommend.

This is the first motherboard I ever bought. I bought it for my first PC build, and it has every feature I need. It has good performance, amazing aesthetics, and great usability. It has 6 USB-A ports, 3 audio jacks, 1 HDMI port, 1 DisplayPort, and 1 Ethernet port. There is also a PS/2 port. It also has a very important feature: Q-Flash Plus. This was an absolute game changer, literally. I accidentally bricked my motherboard during a BIOS update and couldn’t get it to display any signal or boot into the BIOS. I was a bit worried until I remembered that I could use Q-Flash to restore it to the default settings. Simply grab a 32GB (or larger) thumb drive, format it to FAT32, and configure a few settings. Then, download the BIOS version from the manufacturer’s website. Rename the file as required, and make sure it’s the only file on the thumb drive. Next, plug the drive into the special USB port, press and hold the Q-Flash button for 3 seconds (the button is located next to the front panel and ARGB connectors, which was a bit confusing), and wait for the flashing orange light. Once the light slows down and eventually stops, the process is complete, and the motherboard will be working again. This took just a couple of minutes and saved me the hassle and cost of replacing the motherboard or returning the entire setup. All in all, this is the perfect mid-range motherboard for people who want an affordable but excellent gaming experience.

Bought the GIGABYTE B650 Eagle AX for my new build, and it’s been pretty solid so far with just a few minor hiccups. The installation was straightforward, but the manual could definitely use some improvement—felt like I was deciphering ancient texts at times. Once everything was set up, the performance was great. The motherboard handles DDR5 RAM like a champ, and having three M.2 slots is a nice touch for future-proofing. Now, for the Wi-Fi 6E, it works well but needed a bit of tweaking to get optimal speeds. Also, a heads up: make sure your case has good airflow. This board tends to run a bit warm, especially when pushing high loads with PCIe 5.0 and multiple M.2 drives. The onboard LAN is reliable, and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 support is a nice perk for fast data transfer. Pros: • Great value for a B650 board with solid performance. • Handles DDR5 RAM efficiently and has multiple M.2 slots. • Wi-Fi 6E and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 offer good connectivity options. Cons: • Manual could be clearer for beginners. • Runs a bit hot under heavy loads, so good cooling is a must. Overall, it’s a great choice if you want a feature-packed AM5 motherboard without breaking the bank. Just be prepared for a bit of tweaking to get the best out of it!

Awesome board for the price. I used it for my latest build and it fired up with no issues right out of the box. BIOS was easy to navigate and updating it only took a few minutes. Runs super stable and has plenty of ports and fan headers. The layout makes cable management simple and it looks clean in the case. Great pick if you're building with a Ryzen chip and want something solid without spending a ton.

I’m using this motherboard right now and everything went excellent without problems in the installation process, i have a ryzen 5 9600x so i had to update the BIOS. Just to say the manual don’t actually indicate the process correctly, had to watch a YouTube video and everyone were complaining in the comments about the wrong instructions displayed in the manual.

This GIGABYTE B650 Eagle AX ended up being one of those parts that just makes the whole build feel “right.” It has all the modern features needed for a current Ryzen setup without feeling overcomplicated or cluttered. The layout is really builder-friendly: plenty of room around the CPU socket for the cooler, easy access to the M.2 slots, and connectors placed where cable routing actually makes sense. The look is clean and neutral, so it fits perfectly whether the rest of the build is full RGB or more low-key. Day to day, it feels rock solid. The system boots quickly, handles gaming and multitasking without any weird glitches, and Wi‑Fi and networking just work the way they should. Between the features, ease of building, and reliable performance, it genuinely feels like a five-star motherboard.

Buena placa base. Tiene impresos de firma nítida de la conexión de los componentes. Q-BIOS flashing da chance de usar Ryzen 9, 9000 series, súper!!! 😍 Gigabyte siempre con gran calidad.

ist ein klasse board

Used the Qflash option by powering up the motherboard with my PSU first. Then placed the USB32GB flashdrive to the bios option in the USB3.2 slot using FAT32 with latest bios downloaded from the GIGABYTE webpage. Pressed and hold for 3 sec on the Qflash button and waited for the red led light to stop blinking. Was quite fast and stopped after around 5 - 7 min. No cpu was required to do the process. Received an error on the bios once when powering on for the first time, but was fine after resetting using the power button on my PC. Works perfectly fine afterwards.

Fully compatible with Arch based linux. Plenty of I/O for most users. Good compatibility with hardware. Bios flashback is easy to use.

マザーボードと、CPU 、グラフィックボードで、１０万円以下におさえることができた。メーカー製を購入すれば、３０万円は出費になると思います。性能的には、文句なしです。１０年ぶりの自作ですが、満足してます！
