Micro-ATX AMD B450 Board

The GIGABYTE B450M S2H is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on the AMD B450 chipset for Socket AM4 processors. It supports Ryzen 5000 Series, 5000 G Series, 4000 G Series, 3000 and 3000 G-Series CPUs. Two DDR4 DIMM slots accept up to 32GB of system memory.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The board provides one PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot and two PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots for expansion cards. Storage connects through a single M.2 interface and four SATA III ports. Networking uses an integrated Realtek GbE controller rated for 10/100/1000 Mbit. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC887 codec with 7.1 channel support.

Compatibility Checklist

Verify that your chassis accepts a 24.4 by 20.5 cm Micro-ATX form factor and that the AM4 cooler mounting pattern matches your CPU cooler. Confirm your power supply carries the required ATX 24-pin and 8-pin CPU connectors. The rear I/O supplies two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and two USB 2.0 ports; internal headers add four more USB 2.0 connections.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the GIGABYTE B450M S2H get when running a Ryzen 5000 series CPU all day?

The board has no active cooling of its own; thermal output and fan noise depend entirely on the CPU cooler you pair with the Ryzen 5000 series processor.

Which parts must I already own for this motherboard to function?

You need an AMD AM4 processor, DDR4 memory modules, a power supply with 24-pin and 4-pin CPU connectors, and a chassis that accepts a 24.4 by 20.5 cm Micro-ATX board.

Will my existing PCIe 2.0 expansion cards work in the GIGABYTE B450M S2H?

Yes, the two PCIe x1 slots operate at PCIe 2.0 speeds, so older PCIe 2.0 cards will function normally.
