Gigabyte's first motherboard for AMD CPUs, the B650E Aorus Stealth Ice, features connectors located on the back.

Gigabyte's latest addition to their Stealth series of motherboards is the B650E Aorus Stealth Ice, designed for AMD CPUs. This board features a white/silver PCB with matching front and back covers, as well as connectors in similar colors. While not all connectors and slots perfectly match in color, the B650E Aorus Stealth Ice is a solid choice for those looking to build a system with just a graphics card and NVMe SSDs, as it lacks additional PCIe expansion slots.

In terms of connectivity, the B650E Aorus Stealth Ice offers a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, two M.2 sockets connected to the CPU (one PCIe 5.0 and one PCIe 4.0), and a third PCIe 4.0 M.2 socket via the chipset. There is also support for up to four SATA 6 Gbps drives for additional storage needs. The board includes an internal HDMI 1.4 port for 1080p30 output, intended for use with Gigabyte's LCD Edge View display.

On the back of the PCB, you'll find various connectivity options, including a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) port, a USB 3.2 (5 Gbps) pin-header, USB 2.0 ports, fan headers, and LED headers. The VRM design features a 12+2+2 configuration with a 60 Amp DrMOS setup for the CPU and GPU phases.

Additional rear connectivity includes a HDMI 2.1 port (4K 60 Hz), a USB Type-C port (10 Gbps, with USB4 support), a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, WiFi EZ-Plug for the WiFi antenna, two 10 Gbps USB Type-A ports, five 5 Gbps USB Type-A ports, four USB 2.0 ports, audio jacks, and a Q-Flash Plus button. The board also supports Gigabyte's list of compatible chassis.
