GIGABYTE B650 Eagle AX AM5 LGA 1718 AMD B650 ATX, DDR5 Triple M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, AMD Wi-Fi 6E, Realtek GbE LAN

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.

Excellent motherboard. A very good price for building the latest AMD AM5 motherboard. Easy for beginners to assemble, and comes with everything you need to get up and running right out of the box. The hassle-free BIOS update feature makes the job a breeze.

I bought this motherboard to build a CCTV server that uses consumer parts so that one day my nephew could inherit it, it'll be very outdated by then, but certainly could still play some older games.The motherboard feels lighter than I expected but the build quality seems to be good, the BIOS options are everything I needed, it has Wake on event (if pc is off it will start at a certain time everynight), reinstate last power mode (EG it will restart after power is down) as well as a very good selection of fan speeds, could do with more fan headers but that's not a problem for most PC cases since they mostly come with splitters, I used a very cheap server rack case that didn't have splitters.Looks nice however it isn't going to be visible in it's opaque steel case.Boots quickly and reliably.Haven't tested Wifi but it has bluetooth so it could theoretically be used with Xbox controllers if my nephew is a console pleb.Could do with more PCIE lanes, but that's a general complaint I have with motherboards, yes I know most mobos are CPU lane bound.I'm using it with an AMD APU, it was the cheapest method of running AI acceleration on a CCTV platform (No coral wouldn't have worked, I need an actual "GPU" for future functions.)

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!

It arrived today, and I mounted it in the case today. My first impression was Wow, you could see the build quality with the weight and its construction, very nice to look at too. I had no connection or software issues; everything went very smoothly.

Worked great, no issues, booted to bios first time. Easy to use bios, easy update. This board was at the same price as the lower quality motherboards. It was a steal and works fantastic. Matter of fact, I am writing this review on the computer I build using this board! Super fast and super reliable, this is a good buy.

This is a good board, it boots up quickly, it looks good in my pc, it has all the ports that I need, one downside is that it’s a heavy board, it’s way heavier than I thought it would be, the WiFi connected quickly, all my cords for the components connected to the board just fine, it fit in the case decently well, the really nice thing about it is the amount of screws it came with to hold it into the case so I know it won’t get damaged if I move around the parts

I have purchased this for my wife's computer. It does pretty good, for some reason the Wi-Fi is wonky with windows 11 it would bluescreen. It is not automatically recognized, and I needed to download the drivers on my other computer before it would work. As far as quality, it was really easy to install has lots of USB ports and everything is spaced out fairly good on the machine. Updating the BIOS took a little bit but was extremely smooth excellent setup by Gigabyte. I wish it came with a more in-depth printed manual instead of having to go online to look up some of the instructions. If the price is right, I would get this again.
