Gigabyte B850I AORUS PRO

The B850I AORUS PRO is Gigabyte's current-generation mainstream Mini-ITX board for Ryzen 9000/8000/7000 builds, notable for including X3D Turbo Mode tuning support and screwless EZ-Latch M.2/PCIe installation.

Gigabyte publishes an 8+2+1 digital VRM design for this board, with 8 VCore phases and 2 SoC phases each rated at 80A and one 30A phase for auxiliary rails, giving a clearly disclosed power budget appropriate for mainstream Ryzen 9000 chips. Two DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 128GB total capacity, with AMD EXPO enabling speeds of 8400+ MT/s depending on CPU and memory kit. A single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot handles the GPU, and two M.2 slots split between a front-mounted PCIe 5.0 x4 slot and a rear-mounted PCIe 4.0 x4 slot to keep front-panel airflow clear. A 2.5GbE LAN controller pairs with Wi-Fi 7 for wireless networking. Audio uses a Realtek codec, and EZ-Latch screwless design for both the M.2 slots and PCIe slot speeds up builds in tight ITX cases. Against the Gigabyte B650I AORUS Ultra in this catalog, the B850I AORUS PRO trades the third M.2 slot for a clearly disclosed VRM spec and X3D Turbo Mode tuning, appealing to buyers who prioritize transparency and X3D-specific optimization.
