Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE Motherboard review

the Aurora's p450 elite okay it's a gaming motherboard it's an e m4 so I'm gonna put a rise of five 2600 and at some point and then I'm gonna do a built in my new dark bass pro 900 revision 2 orange accents case but to get a review on already so if you want to go let's check that oh well I have a card up top and you can have a look at it so we're gonna get out of the box have a look at it see what's inside and go over all the features now the beauty of this motherboard is they

come out and say they're gonna do BIOS updates and apparently even though I bought an x5 70 which I'll be reviewing soon now they're gonna support PCIe 4.0 on this motherboard which why do I even bother for the next five seventy I'm not really sure so yeah we're gonna get it out have a look at it and yeah we're gonna be able to see what it's all about it's already got the cellophane on it so it's gonna be careful Guinean a bang we'll set that aside while I look at that

in one moment first we're gonna see what else comes in the box we're just gonna get this out okay so we have two SATA connectors for connecting hard drives that gonna saw get a screw for your end to drive usually there's one along yep there's another one here that's the other part of it and even give you the little sticker here Horace sticker they can put on easily remove with a 3m let's on their sticky tape so you can remove it you got your DVD with all your drivers

which you should always use the network driver do that and then update all your other drivers from online but that's your choice you can do is one and of course it has the ARS gaming motherboard before that the when yours the users manual which shows you all your connectors all your PIN leo it's all that kind of good stuff so quickly go over some of the specs so you have of course your CPU support word is reindeer Eisen and even alkaline series processors and this

one has a BIOS update you'll be able to go up and even use the new 3000 series ok socket is a m4 and of course named the be 450 chipset you have one pcie 3.0 x 16 your display interface is HDMI and DVI D your memory can use dual-channel ddr2 DIMMs ok it has one PCIe expansion slot 2.0 x 4 and 2 pcie 2.0 x 1 ok 4 SATA and MI 2 you get 6 SATA 3 s 2 m 2 s 4 SSD it'll go in the raid 0 1 and 10 6 USB 3.1 gen 8 USB 2.0 your audio is a channel HD and your LAN is a gig white let gaming land and the form factor is an ATX 10 and 5 between 35

millimeter and we'll get into what that is afterwards hey hey you can see all through here you've got your hybrid digital pwm design now at the time mystic 2000 ready it's actually now 3000 ready so just a lot of people may not know that how's your gigabyte exclusive 8118 gaming land with band management so no lag no frag and your thermal guards I'll show you all that when we get to it anyway and your 24 pin has the built-in hi-oh shield which I kind of like so

let's put the Box down and let's look at the actual product ok so of course we got her heat shield and we're just gonna peel off this okay so I take from this sorry but you know the old deal kill it off make sure it all comes off you don't want any of that left on there and now we have our first look now this will light up it's believed you can change the different colors okay this is course is REM for socket you've got your two brackets here for installing the prism cooler or any AMD

stock cooler you've got your eight pin connector for your power and your 24 pin is down here no don't wear this this is just the thing I've got to set the motherboard in okay you've got grabbe's cards you can put PCIe three and you've got two different slots as I just rims off there a couple minutes ago and tells you what kind of motherboard it is here you've got one PCIe one slot and the second one here and I'll have over all your connectors here in just a moment and of

course it comes with two SATA connectors down here and two over here and you've got an additional two on the bottom so six in total you've got your CPU fan here system fan you've got your LED - CPU here so that's in case you've got like one that lights up do you have any RGB you'll see okay so down on the bottom you have a second system fan you have your D LED V now for your memory you've got four ddr4 dimm slots that will support up to 64 gigabyte of

memory its Joel channel has support for ddr4 up to 29 33 it will support ECC unbuffered them and has support for non-ecc okay it supports the extreme memory profile XMP so just the case I forget to point it out there are three system fan headers on this board in conjunction with the RGB and the CPU lead and the CPU fan so lots of plugins in case you need them so moving over to the side a little bit you've got an int to bracket here already has the screw in place and

soda says so they the other one is just an extra this won't come off don't forget to take off your plastic that will probably be underneath here for thermal pad that one your MDOT to to keep it cool and of course like I said you have your second one here this is an ATX form factor and this is a reversion 1.0 for the motherboard okay looking at the other side with your bio shield that's pre-mounted you have two USB 2.0 you have your motherboard or keyboard the old

fashioned and the old ps2 style part their care of your DVI or HDMI you have four USB 3.0 another a couple more USB 2.0 and of course your gigabyte lan and of course then you have your audio so you got your mic your lying out going in the side rear in C sub so having a look at our connectors you've got your front panel connectors are gonna go on here you'll have your USB 3.0 USB 2.0 no correction sorry USB 2.0 is here yeah you have your no third system fan

another USB your trusted platform module comport i've known each other was used for anymore and the RGB i pointed out earlier couple more of them we're down here these are this is your 12 volt up here oh yeah the one down below i pointed out it's actually addressable RGB this one is for the 12 volt and you've got another address falar gb here so you got lots of cabling you got a case with lots of RGB this is going to be able to handle the below not a problem there at all and of course you have your HD audio so a few specs to give you in terms of this board so

the onboard graphics on this motherboard well support for DVID up to a max resolution of 1920 by 1200 at 60 Hertz the DVID port does not support d-sub connection by adapter so just keep that in mind has one HDMI port that's for its max resolution of 4096 by 2160 which is basically 4k at 60 Hertz has support for HDMI 2.0 version and hdcp 2.2 maximum shared memory of 16 gigabyte it has support for AMD blood GPU crossfire and 2-way MD crossfire

technologies and of course it has our high-end audio capacitors now for your m dot 2 m dot 2 is jewel PCIe gen3 into slots so you got x 4 and x 2 you have 6 temperature sensors and for a fan headers a hybrid fan headers ok so you have the smart fan 5 ultra durable m2 armor and of course it has the RGB fusion with digital LEDs chip support from gigabyte along with the gigabyte app center now as far as the sound has support for 7.1 channel HD audio no no some

of you would like to see what the back of the motherboard looks like solder czar pretty pretty nicely done now of course your audio is from real tech and it's the ALC 892 codec high definition has to for 5.1 and 7.1 channel support and for spiffed out it has support for 8 0 1 and 10 chipset has 2 USB 3.1 gen2 on parts available through the internal USB header and 8 USB 2.0 / 1.1 ports for ports on the back panel 4 ports available through the internal USB headers Anna has integrated in the APU 4 x USB 3.1 genuine ports on the back panel now some of the

other things pretty standard on most of these motherboards today okay so your hardware monitor of course has voltage detection temperature fan speed and has an overheating warning fan fail warning and a fan speed control now your BIOS has one 128 megabit flash it uses the EMI UEFI BIOS and of course your some of your unique features are through your support the App Center four gigabytes App Center which is 3do SD the course bios you can upgrade it

through there your auto green college station easy tune phosphine teen boost their on/off charge RGB fusion of course you're smart backup keyboard time lock and HUD and survey all bits of information that some of you may or may not know about has support for q-flash and support for Express install some of the bundled software you'll get is the Norton Internet Security it's an OEM version usually glass usually both fourteen days sometimes sometimes thirty

sometimes longer it just all depends of course has support for Windows 10 64 bit and of course like I said it's an ATX form factor one thing I didn't want to show you is your front panel connectors so you can see them all here okay your power LED power switch speaker your hard drive reset switch JC's are chasis instruction header which most cases don't have and your power LED okay just wanted to show you how because I get a lot of questions on that so I just thought it'd be nice to put that in here for a change and just to give you an idea and down

below has all your different colors on the cut on the motherboard itself ok you have to pause that to see it so I can't focus in on it too well but I've got it expanded you can see your different colors down here okay so when you look at the diagram that I just had up there a minute ago you can match the colors with the cables that's how easy it is on one of these gigabyte ports today alright everybody so there's not too much you can say about this motherboard I mean pretty much has everything you're gonna need it's a killer deal and get them on a good price

right now the fact that they BIOS upgrade is gonna be able to support the new rising 3 processors at least that's what they said I mean you can't take my word for it just check before you buy it but that's what I've been told which is why I bought it but I'm probably gonna put a 2nd gen in here just because I've got the x5 70 mother word that I'll be doing a review on soon so just want to let you know about that it is pretty recently nowadays and yeah okay I like that

you like you to get that like if you don't you know what to do you have any questions throw them my way certainly we'll get back to you and don't forget to give me a big thumbs up if you're able to think about getting that dog and future notifications and future videos and stay tuned for the next one Verizon v 2670 go in this I'm going to put it into the dark Bass Pro 900 revision to orange accented case W get a review on and that'll be coming up pretty soon.
