AM5 motherboard for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series
The GIGABYTE B850 AORUS STEALTH ICE is an ATX board built around the AMD B850 chipset and the AM5 socket. It accepts Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors and provides four DDR5 slots with EXPO support up to 8200 MT/s and a 256 GB maximum capacity. A 14+2+2 phase digital VRM and an M.2 EZ-Flex heatsink handle sustained loads while keeping cable routing clean.
Builders who want rear-mounted connectors
This board suits DIY builders who prefer a stealth layout with all primary headers facing the rear of the case for tidier cable management. It includes Wi-Fi 7 (802.11 be) and 5 GbE LAN for high-speed networking. Users needing more than two SATA 6 Gb/s ports, legacy PCI slots or a smaller form factor such as micro-ATX should look at alternative models.
Straightforward ATX installation
Installation follows standard ATX mounting; the rear I/O shield is integrated and the EZ-Latch mechanisms on the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and M.2 connectors allow tool-free device swaps. The second x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x4 and shares bandwidth with the M2D_SB M.2 connector, so populating that M.2 slot disables the second graphics slot — plan the drive layout before fitting the board.

Questions about this item
What CPU socket and memory type does the GIGABYTE B850 AORUS STEALTH ICE require?
The board uses the AM5 socket for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors and accepts DDR5 memory in four 288-pin slots up to 256 GB.
Will a PCIe 4.0 graphics card or M.2 SSD run at full speed on this board?
Yes. The CPU-linked x16 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 with Ryzen 9000 and 7000 CPUs and at PCIe 4.0 x8 with Ryzen 8000 series, while the chipset x4 slot and M.2 connectors support PCIe 4.0 devices.
How can I confirm the Wi-Fi 7 and 5 GbE LAN are active after building the system?
In Windows Device Manager look for a Wi-Fi 802.11 be adapter and a 5 Gbps Ethernet controller; both should show as working without errors.
