GIGABYTE Motherboard B550 EAGLE sAM4 B550 4xDDR4 M.2 HDMI ATX
Features
The GIGABYTE B550 EAGLE is designed for the AM4 platform and works with Ryzen 5000/4000/3000 series processors, including those with integrated graphics. Four DIMM slots support up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory at speeds reaching 3200 MT/s in dual-channel mode with XMP profile compatibility.
One of the two M.2 connectors operates at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds (CPU-dependent), the second at PCIe 3.0 x4, while four SATA ports provide additional storage options with RAID 0/1/10 support. The primary PCIe x16 slot delivers full PCIe 4.0 bandwidth for graphics cards when using non-G series processors.
The rear panel combines USB 3.2 ports of different generations, including one Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C, together with HDMI 2.1 for integrated graphics output. The Q-Flash Plus button stands out by allowing BIOS updates without a processor, memory or graphics card installed.
