Question Has anyone seen the Gigabyte B550 AORUS Pro AX anywhere?

[Bobsy]

I'd like to buy this motherboard (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550-AORUS-PRO-AX-rev-10#kf) but cannot find it for sale anywhere, not even on PCPartPicker. 🤔 Could it be because the product is too new?
Note: I'm not talking about the Elite AX or the ITX-sized Pro board.

Yeah, doesn't seem to exist on the market right now.

It seems to be appearing slowly online.
PCPartPicker added a page for it (it was not there last week): https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TM...-pro-ax-atx-am4-motherboard-b550-aorus-pro-ax
Also, an Australian website has put up a page for it, with price: 306.45 AUD. This compares to 286.02 AUD for the AC board. A difference of 15 USD.

Really? I found it at Amazon, NewEgg and MicroCenter. All in stock and waiting for ordering. Am I missing something?

Is it possible that you are confusing it with the "B550I AORUS PRO AX" (emphasis mine), which is Mini-ITX rather than ATX?
I checked the MicroCenter website and it's not there.

I simply highlighted and right-mouse clicked to Seach Google. Maybe Google misinterpreted what I had highlighted in your post? I thought my results were odd.

Now available in the UK, in stock: https://www.alza.co.uk/gigabyte-b55...gb550a4&IDP=7291&layoutAutoChange=1#fotovideo

Now available in Sweden as well. https://www.inet.se/produkt/1903395/gigabyte-b550-aorus-pro-ax
It is 12% more expensive than the AC board.

It's me again, can't recall, have you considered other $200 options?

The MSI X570 Tomahawk appears to compare favorably:

I checked it out and indeed, it's very comparable. It has better connectivity due to X570. The price here in Canada is a bit higher, but not by much. It could be a great alternative. Thank you!

I suspect it's the trade war combined with covid that's upsetting the minimum prices.
Makes B550 to expensive, again the B550 Aorus Pro AX would be great around $150.

Has ANYONE found this board for sale yet NOT THE ITX AND NOT THE AC version and for dang sure not the ELITE AX V2 version. i need a good ram overclocker, wifi, btooth, usb-c which my x570 gaming edge does all but one (VRM is an issue but not with a 5600X unless im pushing it to death) so yeah has this board actually turned up yet? ive asked on reddit, overclockers net EVERYWHERE i can think of and its literally making me turn caps lock on like its achieving anything....ANYONE?

Have you looked at the X570 Tomahawk as I posted above?

Here's a video about a memory OC on this board:

at this im steering clear of MSI for one reason and ONE reason alone, bc of bios issues, turn on SVM, and enable HYPER V inside windows and tell me what issues arise? im unsure if its just my board and CPU in general or where i have some certian services on manual and those do include HYPERV (was showing someone how to set up bluestacks) (r5 5600x) so with that being said, im looking for WIFI, BTOOTH, usb-C, and good overclocking. within 150-180 found one board buildzoid actually gave a compliment to which isnt a 6 layer pcb but the Gigabyte x570 elite not the wifi but theyre the same from the info i can dig up. with that being said i can get a used-like new one for around 135 u.s. just doesnt have any of the extra goodies in the box, and has a scratch somewhere. with that being said there is also the b550 aorus elite AX V2 which i would way rather get but its not in stock until 2021. considering i dont have gen 4 ssds, and probably never will. my 8200sx pro is one of the fastest 2tb drives from adata within the same name scheme compared to ALL benchmarks online. im unsure if thats due to MSI or the fact mine uses a controller from 2019 which was faster than the one they used recently and way faster than the one they got flamed for within the last month or so.
