Small black heatsinks with gold letters for contrast are featured on the GIGABYTE B550M DS3H, which has what is possibly one of the most unique black and grey patterned printed circuit boards (PCBs) that GIGABYTE has ever produced. A full-length PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot, a full-length PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot, and a single PCI Express 3.0 x1 slot are all included in this package. A maximum capacity of 128 gigabytes can be accommodated across the four memory slots that are accessible. These slots are compatible with DDR4-4733 memory and support up to that level of memory. A pair of PCIe M.2 slots, one of which is PCIe 4.0 x4 and the other of which is PCIe 3.0 x4, are available for storage.
Additionally, there are four SATA ports that are compatible with RAID 0, 1, and 10 arrays. There are four USB 3.2 G1 Type-A ports and four USB 2.0 ports located on the rear panel of the board, which are the basics that should be included on a board that is considered to be inexpensive. A pair of video outputs consisting of a DVI-D connection and an HDMI output have been supplied by GIGABYTE for users who are interested in utilising an AMD Ryzen APU. Additionally, a PS/2 keyboard and mouse combo connector has been included for consumers who continue to use outdated devices. A single Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller is responsible for providing power to the RJ45 port, and a Realtek ALC887 HD audio codec is responsible for driving the three 3.5 mm audio connectors on the board.

Where to Get GIGABYTE B550M DS3H AC?
Moving away from the Aorus-branded models, we move down the product line to the GIGABYTE B550 Gaming X, which has a straightforward all-black design with some grey patterning on the printed circuit board (PCB) to add contrast. A 10+3 phase power delivery, two M.2 slots, a Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller, and a Realtek ALC887 HD audio codec are some of the primary characteristics that are included. The GIGABYTE B550 Gaming X is a model that is of the ATX size and features two full-length PCIe slots. The top slot operates at PCIe 4.0 x16, while the bottom slot operates at PCIe 3.0 x4.
In terms of storage, there is a single PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, as well as a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, and four SATA ports that are capable of supporting RAID 0, 1, and 10 arrays. Memory with operating speeds of up to DDR4-4733 is officially supported, and it is possible to install up to 128 gigabytes of system memory across the four memory slots that are accessible. In addition to being advertised by GIGABYTE as having a 10+3 phase design, the board is equipped with a single 8-pin 12 V ATX power input that supplies power to the central processing unit.
