Gigabyte B850M AORUS STEALTH ICE Review

The Gigabyte B850M AORUS STEALTH ICE is the all-white colourway of the B850M AORUS STEALTH covered elsewhere on this site, shown alongside it at Computex 2026 as part of the broader STEALTH ICE sub-line Gigabyte has extended across both ATX and, with this board, Micro-ATX form factors. The underlying reverse-connector platform, chipset, and general specification are shared with the standard-finish B850M STEALTH; this version exists specifically for buyers building an all-white system who want the cableless STEALTH design without a mismatched black or grey board breaking the colour scheme.

This is the board for someone who's already decided they want the Project STEALTH look in a Micro-ATX build and specifically wants it in white. Gigabyte doesn't publish the same level of VRM detail for this size as it does for the ATX Stealth boards, so treat exact power delivery specs as unconfirmed until checked directly against a retailer listing.

Compatibility and Case Requirements

The same reverse-connector case requirement applies here as on every STEALTH board: a case with matching cutouts and standoffs is mandatory, and Micro-ATX-specific compatibility should be confirmed separately from any ATX STEALTH case list, since the smaller board's connector placement doesn't necessarily match its full-size siblings.

Memory and Expansion

Four DDR5 DIMM slots with overclocking support, alongside PCIe 5.0 storage and graphics connectivity, matching the specification of the standard-finish B850M AORUS STEALTH.

Design and Build

The defining difference against the standard B850M STEALTH is purely the all-white finish, extending Gigabyte's popular ICE colourway treatment, already used across several ATX boards in the STEALTH line, down to this Micro-ATX size for the first time. Everything else about the board, connector placement, case requirements, and general specification, carries over unchanged.
