2.5GbE LAN
Supercharge your gaming with 2.5GbE LAN Achieve lightning-fast speeds, minimal lag, and unbeatable performance to elevate your gaming setup and dominate the competition.

PCIe 4.0 Hardware Design
GIGABYTE B650 Motherboards are ready to work with the PCIe 4.0 devices which are expected to experience twice bandwidth than the current PCIe 3.0 devices. To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance.

Hi-Fi Audio
High-End Audio Capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.

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

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

Cooling Features
High Current Support: Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection
Precision Control: Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve
Dual Curve Mode: Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario
Fan Stop: Fan can stop completely below users' specified temperature point

Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI
Improve fan curve UI: We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control.
Slope/Stair dual graph mode: Fan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenario. Slope is traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear mode, fan keeps at same speed between specified temperature interval.
Manual Input: For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control.
EZ Tuning: Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.
Fan curve profile: Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS.
