Motherboard BIOS update for AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors
- From GIGABYTE’s website, download the latest compressed BIOS update file that matches your motherboard model from its product page.
- Uncompress the downloaded BIOS file, save it to your USB flash drive, and rename it to GIGABYTE.bin. Note: The USB flash drive must use the FAT32/16 file system.
- Insert the USB flash drive into the white USB port or BIOS Q Flash port on the back panel of your motherboard (USB port may not be labelled on all models, checking the user manual is recommended)
- Connect the power cables to the CPU 8 Pin power connector (connect either one if there are two) and mainboard 24 Pin power connector.
- Press the Q-Flash Plus button (location may vary by model) and the system will automatically search and match the BIOS file in the USB flash drive on the white USB port. The QFLED and the Q-Flash Plus button on the rear panel will flash during the BIOS matching and flashing process. Wait for 2-3 minutes and the QFLED will stop flashing when the BIOS flashing is complete.

The only "bad" thing about this motherboard is the PCI-e bus layout. Ideally, you'd install your graphics card on the main PCI-e x16 slot, because that is how you get most of it's performance. If you have a large GPU like an Asus 3070ti TUF (like in my case), installing such a massive card on the first PCI-e x16 slot covers the other PCI-e slots below the main one. However, smaller graphics cards don't have this issue. Previously, I had a 1660 super installed, and was able to use the chipset's PCI-e x16 slot. My 3070ti is large though, and now I can't use the other PCI-e slots. Not really a problem for me though, it could be for you however. This PCI-e layout seems to be a trend for Gigabyte's micro boards. Also have this in consideration before purchasing this board.
Overall, the board itself is working as it should. I personally recommend this for anyone looking for a micro ATX motherboard.
Side notes: there are two versions of this b55om aorus board, the 'Pro' and the 'Pro-p'.
The 'Pro' has mediocre VRM performance and thermals. The 'Pro-p' (this one we're reviewing), is updated with better thermal pads in the VRM department.
I have ryzen 5 3600 (very good silicon quality, could do ccx0 4.5ghz ccx1 4.3ghz with vcore 1.35v);
paired with 3600mhz cl 16-19-19-38 at 1.4v ram (Micron c9bkv, manually overclocked, very stable),
a msi gtx 1080 ventus gpu and firecuda 520 500g pcie gen4 ssd as the os drive.
this mobo compares to the original p version is that this mobo comes with a beefier power supply (which comes from the atx b550 aorus pro design),
which is at the same level of
msi b550 tomahark/gaming edge (they have the same vrm design and chip);
asus rog strix x570i (the itx mobo, in terms of vrm, x570e is stronger than x570i, b550e is stronger than even c8h/c8f, currently asus strongest am4 mobo is c8dh/b550xe);
asrock x570 taichi (asrock strongest am4 mobo rn is b550 taichi or x570 aqua, aqua has higher amp range where b550 taichi has one extra phase and better ram controller)
in general, b550 mobos are just better than x570 mobos simplely because b550 mobos came out almost a year later than x570 mobos, the biggest pro part for x570s are the pcie gen4 supports (but for non-professional use, the extra speed from gen4 is not obvious at all)
i had a x570i aorus pro wifi mobo for my matx case which at the time that was the cheapest pcie gen4 itx mobo on the market (b450 does not support pcie gen4); but the bios on the mobo was wonkey, i did update the bios on that mobo several times to see if I could get a better overclocking performance for my 3600 (which i could only get all core 4.3 with vcore 1.35v, and only 3600 cl 18-22-22-36 with 1.35v for the ram)
This mobo comes with 5 pwm fan headers which is plenty for a typical matx case fan control; three 12v rgb heads and two 5v argb headers for light control; a standard usb 3.1 gen 2 for front io, no usb 3.2 gen2 type c front header; no debug lights (which is a shame, this mobo with debug lights would be so much more competitive to the tuf b550ms and msi b550m mortars);
One pcie 4.0 x16 slot; One pcie 3.0 x1 slot; One pcie 3.0 x16 sized slot(but runs in x4 mode), all these slots do not interfere with any of the m.2 slot or the sata ports (learn from this msi!); each pcie slot is one slot seperated;
10 usb rear ports (four 2.0; four 3.1; two 3.2 with one of them type c), plently ports for your devices;
Does not come with a wifi card, so you'll need a pcie wifi card (you can put it in the second x16 slot if you have a gpu)
In general, so far this mobo is very solid, will update if anything changes
Edit 1:
for any one who may be experiencing the intermittment usb disconnections, AMD official has addressed this issue under their subreddit post, you can find a lot more information there;
Personally I have not experienced any issues yet with this mobo (or any other AM4 mobos that I have, I have built 9 of them in total),
one of the recommended potential fix is that to disable the "global c-state control" option in the bios, c-states are the varies types of idle/sleep/hibernation behavior of the cpu when the os(operating system) is in different situations (standby, sleeping, etc), since personally I always disable this option when doing my overclocking (making the system more stable after wake up or failed overclock), this might be a potential fix to the issues addressed above;
also, AMD official has also recommended to update the bios the latest version (right now for b550m aorus pro-p, the latest version is f13c);
make sure you install the amd chipset driver in your os (lastest version should be 2.13.27.501);
Another potential fix is that manually changing the pcie mode in the bios, from gen4/auto to gen3 (personally i think this might be the cause, since most of the users who experienced the issue have a gen4 gpu);
Will update if amd official has more information or if they have a definite fix.
Top reviews from other countries
This board have a whopping 10 USB ports, including 5x USB 3.2 + Type-C and all 6 audio jacks. One can never have enough USB ports, Gigabyte botherboard usually have numberous of them, unlike other brands. There are 2x CPU fan connectors and 3x system fan connectors, these are enough for typical system, especially for a microATX, how many fan you want to squeeze in the small mATX case? AIO fan are better control by their own controller, for fan fetish, there's always fan controller, don't understand why some claim the included fan connectors number is a con.
I flash the BIOS/UEFI to lastest f15a with no issue. Please read the onscreen text or RTFM, Gigabyte alearly stated the drive needs to be in FAT32 format. When the flash/thumb drive is in NTFS, the Q-flash can see the BIOS file but it won't be able to read the file--no flash. format the flash/thumb drive to FAT32 and you are done.
Maybe the only con is the lack of heat spreader for 2nd NVMe slot. I use that slot for WD blue SN550 1TB, no temp issue. For some reason, on stock BIOS, Win 10 isntallation will have error saying the drive is in GPT and will not proceed; switching to MBR solve the issue. Maybe the culprit is the old GFX with UEFI BIOS but I was installing and booting to Win10 happily with it on X99 sabertooth before that. Didn't bother to check if f15a solve it, 4 partition in MBR is more than enough.
