The Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX is a motherboard aimed at users seeking a reliable and efficient solution for assembling a new computer system. This motherboard is typically intended for informed users or hobbyists who wish to build a high-performance gaming or professional system using the latest Intel processors.
Direct Digital VRM Design
The best VRM design ever made with the highest quality components. 12+2+2 phases digital PWM + low RDS(on) MOSFETs Support the latest CPUs and provide enhanced system performance and ultimate hardware expandability.
PCIe 4.0 hardware design
Featuring one or more PCIe 4.0 x16 slots and support for PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, GIGABYTE motherboards are ready to work with PCIe 4.0 devices to deliver superior performance.
Support for EXPO & XMP
Easily create overclocked memory performance by setting and creating your own SPD profile on Native and XMP 3.0 memory modules or by applying the preset profiles to the XMP 3.0 user profile.
M.2 Thermal Protection
3X Large Surface Area
Increased surface area up to 3X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. Improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
True Monolithic Construction
TMOS is a TRUE monolithic heatsink. Its single-piece design and larger surface area drastically improve cooling performance compared to the multi-piece designs of competitors.
Smart Fan 6
Ensures optimal cooling and silent operation for your gaming computer, with support for PWM/DC fans and pumps, customizable settings, and intuitive temperature monitoring.
Cooling Features
High Current Support: Supports both DC fan and water cooling pump, up to 24W (12V x 2A) with overcurrent protection.
Precision Control: Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve.
Dual Curve Mode: Dual slope/step mode for different user scenarios.
Fan Stop: The fan can stop completely below the user-defined temperature point.
802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E
The latest 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E wireless solution with a new exclusive 6GHz band allows gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, fewer dropped connections, and speeds up to 2.4Gbps. Additionally, Bluetooth 5 offers 4X the range compared to BT 4.2 and faster transmission.
LAN GbE with bandwidth management
Helps improve network latency and maintain low ping times for better responsiveness in busy LAN environments.
Advantages of Wi-Fi 6E
Spectrum congestion is a huge problem in today's Wi-Fi environment because too many devices use the existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, causing unreliable connections and slower speeds. Wi-Fi 6E is the extended standard of Wi-Fi 6 and uses a dedicated 6 GHz band, which not only provides brand new frequency for data transfer but also a wide spectrum for more future devices. With Wi-Fi 6E, users can enjoy faster connections and stronger signals than before.
Hi-Fi Audio
High-Tech Audio Capacitors
These high-quality capacitors contribute to high-resolution and fidelity audio performance to provide the most realistic sound effects.
Audio Noise Guard
Essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the board level.
Gigabyte Control Center
The Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) is a unified software for all products supported by Gigabyte. It provides a newly designed intuitive user interface for controlling all essential functions.
Unified software platform for all supported Gigabyte products
Intuitive user interface for an easy experience
Modular control elements only for installed hardware
Auto-update function to keep the system updated and support future products
Q-Flash Plus
Update the BIOS easily
With Gigabyte Q-Flash Plus, you don't need to install the processor, memory, and graphics card or enter the BIOS menu. Simply download and save a new BIOS file to a USB drive, then press the exclusive Q-Flash Plus button and you're ready to go.

The Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX motherboard is a solid choice with ATX size for AMD processors with AM5 socket, offering support for DDR5 memory, Wi-Fi 6E, and multiple M.2 ports.
The selling point for me was that it had Bluetooth and Wi-Fi antennas, allowing me to connect my PS5 controller with 0 LAG... Wi-Fi 6E.
On the positive side, I also consider the VRM squares to be superior in voltage stability for overclocking and they heat up evenly in the series!
The only negative for me was that it had an old BIOS version, and aside from being a bit more difficult than the MSI method for flashing the BIOS, the XMP of the RAM at 6000MHz didn't work even after the BIOS update... so I manually overclocked them.
It was combined with an RX 7600XT and Ryzen 5 7500F, and you can see the results here ↓

Stelio, if you did the problem, everything is fine, but you need a USB to download the latest BIOS there (or at least one that supports the 8000 series, export it (make sure your file is GIGABYTE.bin). Then, plug the USB back into the motherboard in the port that says for BIOS. Once you do this, you should not have anything else connected to your motherboard; it should only be connected to the power supply (do not have CPU, GPU, etc.). Power on the power supply without pressing to turn on the PC, and just press the button that is in the middle at the bottom of your motherboard (Q Flash), and it will do it automatically
So far quite satisfied although at first it scared me a little, it wouldn't start and we had to update the bios for it to start working but in the end all good, I would still like it to have one more connection port for the fans!
Generally, I always went for MSI. The BIOS of Gigabyte disappointed me a bit, especially in the area of BIOS Flashing. However, for the fact that it is AM5, it offers something incredibly worth for its price.
