GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard


What's new with the "V2" versions? Looks like a nice board, btw.
Looks like V1 has one more USB3.2Gen1 Type-A port in rear, and V2 trades that for a Type-C front-panel header socket.




Edit: One of my rigs, I have a B450 Aorus PRO WIFI, and this board looks every bit a worthy successor.

Gigabyte has some nice looking boards that are competitively priced.

My personal issue with them for the last 4-5 years has been the software side of their business. They usually lag behind Asus, MSI, and Asrock with BIOS updates and such. An example would be the version 1.0 of this board (3 updates since June), while an Asus board like the B550 Prime Plus has had 5 in the same time span.
