Gets the job done at a great price. I have a 9800x3D in here, and it's letting all my other parts do what they need to do and I didn't have to buy a super expensive mobo. The bluetooth doesn't work super well unless the device is super duper close. The Gigabyte software is garbage. Use SignalRGB for any lighting needs.

I've caught a pretty good deal at Best Buy, this MB and Samsung SSD bundle deal + $20 reward certificates from Best Buy on my email. Don't miss it! Was a good base for my new build. B650 still has plenty of space for future upgrades. Trusted VRM, impressive heatsinks over MOSFETs, hope those are same reliable as on my previous Gigabyte based PCs.

Upgraded to this motherboard along with the Ryzen 7 7700x. AM5 is amazing, motherboard is slick, huge performance difference. The only reason i don’t give it five stars, is because of the no limit stock volt settings to the CPU. My Ryzen hit 95 celsius, but after enabling the limit, the highest now is 70 celsius.

Got this motherboard for the second PC I built. Everything runs smoothly on it and I had no problem connecting all the other parts and cables to it. Originally I was looking at the MSI equivalent but went with this one due to price and availability. Definitely not disappointed with my choice.

It’s a great motherboard and did everything I needed it to do. The Wi-Fi dongles at the back can be a bit loose or sometimes don’t work properly, but I connect via Ethernet, so it didn’t matter for me.

The Gigabyte B650 Eagle EZ motherboard has great features, it performs well and it is versatile, I am using it to play as well as editing and video rendering, so let me explain why this motherboard does great as short as possible.
This is not my first build so it was fairly easy to put it together as well as the setup; I already had an ATX motherboard that I was able to use. Once the build was complete, it worked great.
The B650 Eagle AX features a robust 12+2+2 phases digital VRM solution, ensuring stable power delivery to the CPU.
For an advanced PC the motherboard has a socket AM5 chipset that is compatible with the AMD Ryzen 7000, Ryzen 8000 and Ryzen 9000 Series processors, so it provides unparalleled performance. In other words, expect much faster and great performance.
As for connectivity and networking, it is fast with Wi-Fi 6E supporting 2.4/5/6 GHz carrier frequency bands and GbE LAN chip that provide seamless connectivity. I like that it also has Bluetooth 5.3 so it has a great range and fast data transfer.
As for display options, it has one HDMI and a DisplayPort and I am using both, plus it has different USB connections including USB C port.
One of the most important things for me is memory support and I like that it has dual channel DDR5 7600 support with 4 DIMM sockets that allows for faster data transfer and improved multitasking with up to 192 Gb of system memory.
Storage is also important for me and the B650 motherboard is ready for high speeds and since it has M.2 thermal guard, it makes certain to have optimal performance while being stable.
I like that it has the EZ Latch for the graphic card so it is easier to install and replace in the future if needed. As for the Q Flash Plus, this allows BIOS updates without installing the CPU, memory, or graphics card.
It is Versatile, the B650 Eagle AX is designed for gaming, and its strong VRM and memory support make it suitable for it. And it has a smooth performance and low latency.
And it does not stop there, since I do both editing and rendering 4k videos the fast storage options and stable power delivery, it's ideal for my content. The video rendering and editing tasks are easy and smooth due to its capabilities.
Overall, the Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX has it all, performance, ease of use and connectivity. Whether you're a gamer or a content creator or both like I do, this motherboard has you covered.

Open Box "Excellent" B650 Eagle Ax

A number of these motherboards have the screw that holds down the M.2 heat shield over tightened. The open box one i bought the screw was completely stripped from the last person trying to get it off. Best Buy was generally unhelpful after reporting the issue, GIGABYTE was equally unhelpful. Since i was stuck with the product i ended up having to use a Dremel tool to etch a flat head notch into the screw and after a TON of pressure and torque able to get the stupid thing off.

Sold as new with the retail price only to find out it was an open box purchase and it came damaged! Some pins for the cpu was bent making the motherboard useless. Make sure your purchase is actually new to avoid the hassle of having to return a buy another motherboard.
