Product overview

Released in late 2023, Gigabyte’s B650 AORUS Elite AX V2 is an AM5 B650 ATX board from AMD’s 600‑series era. Gigabyte posted the first BIOS for this exact SKU on September 21, 2023, followed by a “first release” package on November 8, 2023; later 2024 BIOS updates added support and optimizations for Ryzen 9000 processors.

Positioned as a mainstream B‑series option, it exists to deliver modern I/O and storage without X‑series pricing. It offers four DDR5 DIMM slots (up to 256 GB), three M.2 including one PCIe 5.0 x4, a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, Wi‑Fi 6E, 2.5 GbE, and front 20 Gb/s plus rear 10 Gb/s USB‑C—good for expansion/multi‑M.2, high‑speed memory, first‑time builders, and overclocking. Not discontinued as of July 2026; Gigabyte continues to publish drivers and BIOS updates.
