  • • Supports all PMIC vendors for maximum compatibility
* Memory overclocking capabiblity will vary based on users' hardware configuration
XTREME MEMORY
With 2-DIMM daisy chain memory trace layout, B650E AORUS TACHYON can achieve the shortest memory DIMM distance between CPU, therefore reach the highest memory clock and the lowest latency.
Shielded Memory Routing
All memory routing is under the PCB inner layer shielded by a large ground layer to protect from external interference.
Non-shielded
Note: The picture is for reference and may vary by model.
EXPO and XMP Dual Support
GIGABYTE AM5 MB supports both AMD EXPO™ and/or Intel® XMP overclocking memory modules for maximal compatibility. MB will automatically detect both profiles format in SPD, users can choose to enable one of profiles from BIOS menu and easily reach overclocked memory performance.
DDR5 Auto Booster
Automatically Boost the Native DDR5 frequency to 5000MHz while the system is under heavy loading by a single click.
AMD EXPO™ and Intel® XMP 3.0 User Profile
Define and create your own SPD profile into Native, EXPO and XMP 3.0 memory modules. One user-defined profile can be saved, loaded either locally or from/to an external storage device.
• One empty SPD profile can be defined by users and carry to next computer
• Quick memory performance simulation based on user input clock and timing parameters
• Profile save and load function to share your memory parameters online
