Product Information

However, the first two components you’ll need to choose (aside from your processor) if you are building a small form-factor PC, is your case, and your motherboard. The motherboard features Intel WiFi 6 and 2.5G LAN connectivity for the internet. A USB 3.2 Gen 2 port USB C port on the rear allows for fast data transfer with a 10 Gbps speed. There are three fan connectors for use with the cooling system and two RGB connectors for use with Gigabyte’s RGB Fusion software. The board also supports the Q-Flash feature for updating the BIOS similar to what ASUS has. If you’re planning on building a mini PC, the first thing you’ll need is a small motherboard. In this guide, we’ve rated and reviewed seven of the best mini-ITX motherboard options for Intel or AMD-based builds. Part of Asus’ budget lineup of motherboards, the Prime B550-A WiFi motherboard manages to include most of the premium B550 features that make it worth considering when building a budget PC. With the successive launches of Intel’s 12th generation CPUs and AMD’s Zen 4 CPUs, DDR5 technology is now the defacto choice for anyone building a high-end gaming PC. However, DDR5 memory currently comes with a steep premium. And, if you don’t have a huge budget to accommodate it, it might not be the best option for you.

With the introduction of the B550 lineup of motherboards, AMD has provided a couple of features previously absent from the cheaper alternative B450 motherboards. If you are in the market for a motherboard for your 3rd gen Ryzen processor or greater, the B550 series of motherboards is an excellent choice based on the numerous features it provides and reasonable price. So, to help you make the right choice, we have compiled this comprehensive list of the Best B550 motherboards.

You get Intel WiFi 6 and 2.5Gb Ethernet for fast connectivity over the internet or local networks, while the 4 USB 3.2 Gen2 ports will ensure high-speed data transfers. Internally there is a single chassis fan, AIO pump, and two RGB connectors that support AuraSync, for you to use with your case peripherals. Building a budget-friendly mini-ITX PC that has newer hardware in it is a tough task. That’s because mini-ITX components typically come with a premium. And, as a result, there really aren’t any truly budget-friendly mini-ITX motherboards. Or, at least not with the current generation of hardware. No one has time for weak WiFi signals and sluggish internet! That’s why this motherboard comes with a 802.11ac WiFi (2.4G / 5G WiFi) module which supports wireless networks and Bluetooth 4.2.
