The GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX AM5 AMD MOTHERBOARD M.2 port labeled as M2A_CPU is actually on Gen 5 bus whereas the PCIe x16 slot and M2B_CPU M.2 port are on the gen 4 bus. In simple words, this motherboard supports M.2 Gen 5 but there is no Gen 5-based PCIe slot. The DDR5 support of up to 5200MHz is mentioned. This is with the help of a BIOS update. Since the new 7000 series CPUs will have iGPU, there is an HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 connectivity options from the CPU. There is one USB Type-C Gen 2 port and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports along with a USB 2.0 hub which is driving up to 4x USB 2.0/1.1 ports. The chipset is connected to the CPU socket using PCIe x4 bridging. The third M.2 port labeled as M2C_SB is on the Gen 4 bus. GIGABYTE has provided 3x M.2 ports in total with 2 being driven by Gen 4 bus and one on the Gen 5 bus. This is good news for storage lovers on a budget. There are two more PCIe slots that are on the Gen 3 bus and rated for X1 speed each. The very reason for being X1 speed is that they share the same bus with LAN and wireless connectivity. This also means that they are not related to the 4x SATA ports. We have ample USB connectivity with up to 13 connections including the front panel USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port.
