The short version
The B850 Aorus Elite WiFi7 is Gigabyte's mainstream-premium B850 ATX board. It has a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 5.0 and further M.2 slots, four SATA ports, Wi-Fi 7 and an unusually large rear USB count with a 10Gbps USB-C. It has no USB4 and uses a single 8-pin plus 4-pin CPU power arrangement, so it suits mainstream Ryzen 9000 builds rather than heavy overclocking.
Pros
- PCIe 5.0 x16 and a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot
- Wi-Fi 7
- Eleven rear Type-A USB ports plus USB-C
- Q-Flash Plus button
Cons
- No USB4
- Rear video output is DisplayPort only
- Single 8-pin plus 4-pin CPU power
Best for
