Gigabyte B450M S2H ULTRA Durable Motherboard

The Gigabyte B450M S2H ULTRA Durable Motherboard is a powerful and versatile Micro-ATX motherboard designed to offer exceptional performance and reliability for a wide range of computing needs. With support for various generations of AMD Ryzen processors and Radeon Vega Graphics, this motherboard provides a solid foundation for building efficient and feature-rich systems. At the heart of the motherboard is the AMD B450 chipset, which brings together cutting-edge features and stability. It boasts a licensed AMI UEFI BIOS with a 128 Mbit flash, supporting essential features like PnP 1.0a, DMI 2.7, WfM 2.0, SM BIOS 2.7, and ACPI 5.0 for efficient system management and updates. The Micro ATX form factor, measuring 24.4cm x 20.5cm, ensures compatibility with compact PC cases while offering a wealth of expansion options. The motherboard includes a PCI Express x16 slot running at x16 (conforming to the PCI Express 3.0 standard) for high-performance graphics cards, as well as two PCI Express x1 slots for additional expansion cards. Storage versatility is addressed through a dual M.2 configuration, with a dedicated M.2 Socket 3 connector and another M.2 connector (Socket 3) that supports both SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSDs. Notably, the motherboard supports M.2 SATA SSDs when using AMD Athlon 200-series/7th Generation A-series or Athlon APU. The motherboard's memory support includes dual-channel memory architecture with two DDR4 DIMM sockets that can hold up to 32 GB of system memory. It offers support for DDR4 memory modules clocked at speeds of 3200(O.C.)/2933/2667/2400/2133 MHz, and it accommodates ECC un-buffered DIMMs, non-ECC un-buffered DIMMs, and Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules. Graphics capabilities are diverse, with options including a D-Sub port supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 at 60 Hz, a DVI-D port with the same resolution, and an HDMI port that supports a maximum resolution of 4096x2160 at 60 Hz (with support for HDMI 2.0 version and HDCP 2.2). The maximum shared memory is 2 GB, which may vary depending on the CPU in use. Connectivity options abound with a total of six USB 2.0/1.1 ports (two on the back panel and four available through internal USB headers) and four USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports on the back panel. The Realtek GbE LAN chip provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Audio experiences are enriched by the Realtek ALC887 codec, delivering high-definition audio in 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel configurations. To enable 7.1-channel audio, users can utilize an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver. Additionally, support for S/PDIF Out further enhances audio capabilities.
