Future Connectivity
Ultimate connectivity with incredibly fast data transfer speeds over next-generation networking and storage.

2.5GbE LAN
Boost your gaming experience with 2.5GbE LAN. Achieve ultra-fast speeds, minimal latency, and unbeatable performance to upgrade your gaming setup and dominate the competition.

PCIe 4.0 Hardware Design
GIGABYTE B650 motherboards are ready to work with PCIe 4.0 devices, which are expected to experience twice the bandwidth of current PCIe 3.0 devices. To achieve high speeds and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses a low impedance PCB to deliver maximum performance.

Hi-Fi Audio
High-end audio capacitors

GIGABYTE motherboards use high quality audio capacitors. These high-quality capacitors help provide high-resolution, high-fidelity audio to deliver more realistic sound effects to gamers.

Audio Noise Guard
GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that effectively separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise contamination at the PCB level.

Friendly and Simple
Innovative and intuitive design of hardware, software and BIOS interface to create your personal style.

EZ-Latch
Easily unlock the PCIe slot tab by removing the graphics card from the PCIe slot.

Q-Flash Plus
Easily update BIOS without installing CPU, memory and graphics card. With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you do not need to install the CPU, memory or graphics card or enter the BIOS menu to update the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (renamed gigabyte.bin) to the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you're done!

Smart Fan 6
Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure the gaming PC maintains its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fans and pumps, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors on the board through an intuitive user interface.

Cooling Functions
High Current Support: Each fan header supports PWM and DC fans and water cooling pumps, 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/stair mode for different user scenarios.
Fan Stop: The fan can stop completely below the user specified temperature point.

Smart Fan 6 BIOS User Interface
Improved fan curve interface: Increased control points from 5 to 7 and a larger fan speed graph for accurate and easy fan curve control.
Slope/Stair Dual Graph Mode: The fan curve can be quickly changed with slope and stair modes for different user scenarios. Slope is a traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With the newly added ladder mode, the fan maintains the same speed between specified temperature ranges.
Manual Entry: For advanced users, we provide manual fan speed entry for more precise control.
Easy Adjustment: Users can place 4 easy adjustment points on an approximate temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.
Fan Curve Profile: The fan curve profile can be saved in the BIOS ROM, and the profile will be maintained after updating the BIOS.

GIGABYTE Control Center
GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER (GCC) is a unified software for all GIGABYTE compatible products. Provides a newly designed intuitive user interface to control all essential functions.

Unified software platform for all Gigabyte compatible products.
Intuitive user interface for a simplified experience.
Modularized control components for installed hardware only.
Automatic update feature to keep the system up to date and support future products.
