GIGABYTE B650I AORUS Ultra Mini-ITX Performance Review
The GIGABYTE B650I AORUS Ultra Mini-ITX includes a mid-range VRM setup, delivering 105 A through 8 phases. It supports most compatible CPUs on its socket but is not ideal for sustained overclocking or powering very high-wattage CPUs due to potential thermal limitations. Best suited for casual users and mainstream gamers seeking stable performance for everyday use.
This motherboard is equipped with a premium audio chipset — the Realtek® ALC4080 — delivering performance comparable to mid-to-high-end discrete sound cards. It provides clean, immersive sound with excellent signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range. This makes it a recommended choice for audiophiles and users with high-end audio setups, such as studio-grade headphones, amplifiers, or surround sound systems, who want the best possible onboard audio.
This board delivers balanced value with a performance-per-price ratio of 48.9%, offering a solid blend of features, quality, and affordability.
