Hi Everybody! So as I mentioned in the video, I had a hard time figuring out the BIOS version that came with the board and so I contacted Gigabyte customer support as I said I would. They got back to me after a couple of days. According to them F2 was the BIOS version that came with the board. As such I totally would have to (and I did) update the BIOS so a 5000 series CPU would work. As such I went ahead and did Q-Flash a couple of times to update it fully. It was a rather painless and quick process to use Q-Flash. If you wonder what BIOS came with your board, just hit up the maker's CS and be sure to include your purchase date. They should be able to tell you. Hope this helps!
So yesterday I tried to update my bios and it completely went wrong. I downloaded the wrong Bios. My board is exactly the same as your one. My sticker on my box is exactly the same as yours. Can you please assist me in fixing and downloading the correct Bios. I have been onto 100 of sites and videos trying to find it. I bought mine back in 2021 and not sure which Bios to install now. Every bios I tried doesn't work. Please help!
I've owned this motherboard for a year now a and really like it. Wanted to give you a like and note to say it was a really good and informative review.
Thank you so much! Glad you like the motherboard and the video!. I definitely had no real issues with it after I figured out I installed the wrong bios and then got the correct one installed, lol. It's a good board but RGB Fusion 2.0 def needs work--that's probably my only real complaint but if you don't need fusion, don't install it.
Precisely the review I've been looking for. Very good analysis of the included motherboard components and where they are situated on the board. Love how you showed closeups of where everything is located on the mobo. Great video 10/10 helpful :)
Thanks for the review. Ended up building with one of these boards for my gaming PC and it's been great experience. Lots of options to tweak but it also works right out of the box without a fuss. Did vary a bit from your M.2 idea and put my OS on a WD850X 4TB in the faster slot and a WD770 in the slower slot purely as a backup drive. It works ;) Got TPM working without adding a module and Windows 11 Pro is happy. Anyway your video was a big help when deciding which board to get. Thanks again!
This was very helpful and thorough review. I'm really liking this mobo for my next build (apart from the compromises on the internal USB C header and a couple of other things). I've watch several vids comparing various B550 boards and it took me until now to realise that they were talking about the pro, not the pro-p version, which makes me feel a little better, as the thermals on the VRMs were fairly lackluster in some of the reviews for the pro (shouldn't be too much of an issue, but I'd really like everything as cool and quiet as possible).
@@pablocsa5629 It has a rear type C connector on the I/O panel, but afaik (happy to be wrong, this thing was expensive) the 3.2 headers on the board don't support the requirements of the Type C, and are for the slightly older 3.2 type A USB. So, for instance, I have a case with an optional front type C usb socket available, but my understanding is that this mobo doesn't have the right type C board connector to make it work (or at least at the appropriate speed).
Okay I get you. So which is better than this one ? At a price close to this baby. I’m preparing to build my first pc and I honestly don’t want any complications.
@@pablocsa5629 Honestly, that's difficult for me to say, as I'm in the UK so price and supply will be different. I'm guessing you already know of PC part picker, but I found them useful for product comparison. If I had to choose again now, and I hadn't bought anything else, I might consider upgrading to one of the lower end new gen AMD boards. But tbh I bought the Pro-P because I thought the lack of type C board header was an acceptable compromise for the price to performance/features it offered vs other boards available. I'd only advise that you check any board you buy has a decent enough audio codec for your uses and bios flashback on the IO for ease (both of which the Pro P has).
@@haildorothygale GIGABYTE B660M AORUS Elite AX DDR4, I will buy this one honestly. It might be expensive but it's worth it. I'm from South Africa and me buying in the U.K would kill me as the exchange rate is 1 ZAR is equivalent to 24 Euros.
@@MiddleofKnowhere yeah, i tested that already on my Asus DH and i did it just with the 24pin. I'm pretty sure it's the same for this board to, because if you do that without CPU, you don't need to content the 8Pin cables ^^
Thanks! Way I see it, you won't notice too much of a time difference on the boot and the pcie 4.0 nvme drive would be better used as a scratch disk or cache drive for content creation. You can still reserve a SATA SSD for games and stuff and that will still load fast. I use a 2.5" ssd for my games and it's great.
nice review. Looking to build some budget computers for a few friends, not sure exactly the route I am going to go. Looking to go with an integrated chip and let them add a gpu down the road when they find one. looking to pair a motherboard with a AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor. based off the price budget and the reviews. Still not entirely sure which route I am going but just gaining some ideas. Appreciate your video and look forward to going through some more. Didn't even think about a case having a port, that couldn't work because of the motherboard to be honest though. Guess ive gotten lucky on some of my builds lol.
Thank you! The 5600G is a solid choice for a budget build. It's pretty inexpensive right now, especially when compared to it's original MSRP. It won't have PCIe 4.0 but meh most budget builds wouldn't necessarily take advantage of that anyway.
i bought an x570 aorus elite and it has several rgb components......the caveat is that with my gpu, cpu cooler,nvme, etc.....you really cant see them at all. theyre also kind of dim even using gigabyte software to make it as bright as possible.
Hey Dead, I just spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to get RGB Fusion 2.0 to work . . . I did nothing, it randomly just finally opened. What a POS! And you're absolutely right! The tiny audio lighting strip on this motherboard is now mostly hidden by the AMD 6700XT I installed. lol It's amazing how much time and effort PC builders, like myself, put into cable management, making sure lights look cool etc, and then 90% of it's hidden out of view by a big honkin' gpu. I'm pretty miffed about the Fusion software. I honestly have no idea what I did to get it to work, if anything . . .
@@MiddleofKnowhere ok so I have no idea why it does it, but I have had issues with radeon software interfering with rgb fusion 2.0 . amd's radeon software doesn't get along with rgb fusion. Let's of people have had issues but no one can seem to explain it. When I had a 5700xt I had a lot of coil whine. On a whim one day after reading a reddit post I uninstalled fusion.......coil whine stopped. I reinstalled and it came back. I tried it 2 more times with the same result so I stopped using it altogether. Fast forward several months and I bought a 3070ti. I reinstalled fusion and no coil whine or anything. Still have zero explanation why. I even talked to the powercolor rma guy for a while and he was just as baffled.
That's what i use to download drivers and update windows since I set up my builds on the dining room table away from a wired connection. The TP-link USB that I use is really nice, fast and convenient.
Yes it will. By 5000 series I mean both X and non X variants. 5000G CPUs refer to APUs which have onboard graphics capabilities so those are separated. Great question though and thank you for watching!
Thank you for reviewing this motherboard. I'm planning to build a new Ryzen 7 5700g PC without a discrete GPU for productivity, and this motherboard seems perfect because it has a display port and HDMI port. But do you think it would support DDR4 4800 MHz dual channel kit memory?
The motherboard can support up to DDR4 4733 RAM, but this might be less with a 5700G since and according to various sources it seems the APU will max out at DDR4 3200. However, it looks like in a Hardware Canucks video they had DDR4 4000 memory working with a 5700G (probably just 2 sticks). You could go for that. Just remember there are diminishing returns with higher speed memory and then the cost goes up exponentially.
@@MiddleofKnowhere i think 3200 is more than enough for most people, but i guess it depends on what you do. AMD tends to be more sensitive to Ram speeds than Intel, but it works for both in similar ways. what Ram do you think best works with B550 not just with this Gigabyte but others. Corsair and Crucial are the two most common, but those are the one's I've used in the past and they usually work well with most motherboards out there. but there are other companies, Kingston is a name i see sometimes, Hyper X, there's also a few new names im not as familiar with, TeamGroup, that's a name i seen, G.Skill, although there most common on Intel gaming builds, but there known for there RGB. would it be the same with X570, i been looking at both, but im not sure if i should get the 5600G, 5600X or 3600, those are the 3 im mainly looking at, but Ram is what im most curious about. the 5600G is the one im thinking of getting, since im not a hardcore gamer, but i do play some casual games sometimes, and the 5600G and 5700G have igpu. or would it be better to get the 3600 or 5600X with a dedicated graphics Nvidia or Radeon.
I bought this motherboard about 1 month ago and I'm having bad issues with upload speeds. I had an ASUS B450-f before this one and was getting 200-300 mbps upload and download speeds using a usb wifi dongle and now that I got this new motherboard im getting 20-50 mbps upload and 200-300 mbps download. I tried connecting VIA Ethernet and got the same outcome. Please help me I have been trying to fix it for 3 weeks now.
What dongle are you using and have you made sure the drivers on the gigabyte board for it are installed? Go the the manufacturer of the dongle. I also used a usb wifi to download updates and it seemed fast to me. Using an ac router.
So I just ordered this motherboard and a Ryzen 5600x. Based on what you said in the video, I shouldn’t have to update the BIOS using a flash drive because I recently ordered it correct? The revision is 1.0
My friends pc is having issues with lights coming on and pc fans not spinning. Tried his psu on my pc and it worked. He has one of my ram stick which I had for 1y plus so it's not the ram. He has this motherboard and I'm wondering if there's any LED to show what's the issue 😣
@@MiddleofKnowhere ikr. I followed some tutorial on TH-cam and checked the event log and I hope all works fine when I put everything back together. On my off day and spent half of my first day doing this😅
@@MiddleofKnowhere Wow thanks for replying! Do you have a mATX board to recommend for pairing with a 5950X? I have a m-ATX case and everything and I just want to upgrade/replace my old Z170M+6700K with a B550M+5950X. And if you have a video reviewing that mobo it'll be great! Thanks so much! XDDD
@@Toobielove So according to Tomshardware the Aorus Pro-P can handle a 5950x no problem as long as you don't overclock or enable PBO as the VRMs will get quite warm. In my research, it's hard to find an matx motherboard that can adequately handle the 5950x. MATX boards tend to cut features down as they aren't necessarily aimed at the high end of things but more middle or high-middle, so for instance a 5900X could be used no problem. It might be worth getting an ATX case and trying for an ATX board. The Strix B550-E or Dark Hero (if you can afford it) are great options to look at.
@@MiddleofKnowhere Wow! Thanks for taking the time to look into my query and providing such detailed answer. Think I will just get a 5900X with the Aorus Pro-P and not overheat anything while saving some money! You have been most helpful! Again, thank you so much!!! XDDD
Glad I could help. You’ll love the 5900x bit performs great and at current prices will you ever be saving money. Oh and I put a link to the Aorus pro p in the vid description feel free to use it (it’s an affiliate link) if you want. Helps me out tons. :)
I'm currently in the process of editing my B550m Pro-VDH WiFi video. I like it. It's cheaper, doesn't have as many features as I'd want and isn't flashy at all, but has several you might like like the wifi and type-c front panel connector. Having said that, the Aorus Pro-P has way more USB ports including Type-C on the back, a 2.5Gbit ethernet port if you need that, a beefier power delivery, and a more robust audio solution. These thigns could warrant the extra cost. It doesn't have wifi or a type-c front panel connector though. Honestly, it all depends on what you need and what CPU you intend to pair with the mobo. The Pro-VDH did well with a 3900x stock and oc speed, so it could also do well with a 5600x or 5800x possibly even a 5900x.
@@MiddleofKnowhere Thanks for the quick reply I’ll definitely stay tuned for your review on the MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX but I found the PRO-P on Newegg for only 10$ more so I’ll probably get that since it has more to offer.
Very nice yeah if you can find it for not much more go for it. I lucked out and got my pro vdh for 90 + tax but no shipping on eBay. I was hunting for deals and figured it was a good one.
It does not come with integrated wifi, but you can get a usb wifi adapter, or a PCIe card and use wifi that way. I like this for ease of use and it's inexpensive. If you need faster, there is faster out there: amzn.to/3zhIOyq
It will work with any of those CPUs. Best choice comes down to budget. The 5600 and 5600X are the closest together in performance with the 5600 being cheaper and then the 5600G has an integrated GPU but will perform less than the 5600 and 5600X and the 5600G DOES NOT have PCIe 4.0 capabilities. Ironically you can get the 5600X or 5600 for near the same price, so I would recommend the X. amzn.to/3nWkScZ
the board i have has 2 m.2 slots but like if they're both connected only one of them is m.2 speeds or something? is it the same deal with this motherboard?

Glad I could help. You’ll love the 5900x bit performs great and at current prices will you ever be saving money.
Oh and I put a link to the Aorus pro p in the vid description feel free to use it (it’s an affiliate link) if you want. Helps me out tons. :)
Hey, I don’t know which one to get even after this review should I get this motherboard or the MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard?
I'm currently in the process of editing my B550m Pro-VDH WiFi video. I like it. It's cheaper, doesn't have as many features as I'd want and isn't flashy at all, but has several you might like like the wifi and type-c front panel connector. Having said that, the Aorus Pro-P has way more USB ports including Type-C on the back, a 2.5Gbit ethernet port if you need that, a beefier power delivery, and a more robust audio solution. These thigns could warrant the extra cost. It doesn't have wifi or a type-c front panel connector though. Honestly, it all depends on what you need and what CPU you intend to pair with the mobo. The Pro-VDH did well with a 3900x stock and oc speed, so it could also do well with a 5600x or 5800x possibly even a 5900x.
@@MiddleofKnowhere Thanks for the quick reply I’ll definitely stay tuned for your review on the MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX but I found the PRO-P on Newegg for only 10$ more so I’ll probably get that since it has more to offer.
Very nice yeah if you can find it for not much more go for it. I lucked out and got my pro vdh for 90 + tax but no shipping on eBay. I was hunting for deals and figured it was a good one.
Can you use Wi-Fi wireless on this broad
It does not come with integrated wifi, but you can get a usb wifi adapter, or a PCIe card and use wifi that way. I like this for ease of use and it's inexpensive. If you need faster, there is faster out there: amzn.to/3zhIOyq
Can u add a Wi-Fi?
You can definitely add a wifi USB dongle or a PCIe card with wifi on it.
GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO-P rev. 1.0
good for ryzen 5 5600x? Tnx
Yes. I even have a build video where I use this motherboard with a 5600X. Feel free to check it out.
@@MiddleofKnowhere Tnx for fast answer 🙂
Does it have Bluetooth?
I go over everything on the motherboard and there should be chapter headings so you can jump around. Watch on intrepid viewer and find out.
Does this work with a ryzen 5 5600x or do i have to buy a 5 5600g?
Or is just the 5 5600 the best choise?
It will work with any of those CPUs. Best choice comes down to budget. The 5600 and 5600X are the closest together in performance with the 5600 being cheaper and then the 5600G has an integrated GPU but will perform less than the 5600 and 5600X and the 5600G DOES NOT have PCIe 4.0 capabilities. Ironically you can get the 5600X or 5600 for near the same price, so I would recommend the X. amzn.to/3nWkScZ
@@MiddleofKnowhere Thanks man, great feedback. I guess i will go with a rtx 3060 and a 5 5600x now!
Yeah, after reading your comment, I looked up the prices and saw the 5600x is going for same or even 4 bucks cheaper lol. The choice is clear then!
Does an rtx 3060ti or 3070 fit on this mb?
because im worried if the gpu is too thick it would not fit past my usb cable from the bottom
It will fit but if you get an matx case you will have tight clearance. I’d recommend a regular mid-tower with any triple slot gpus.
the board i have has 2 m.2 slots but like if they're both connected only one of them is m.2 speeds or something?
is it the same deal with this motherboard?
