Gigabyte Unveils B650E Aorus Stealth ICE Motherboard at Computex 2024
At the Computex 2024 exhibition, Gigabyte showcased the B650E Aorus Stealth ICE motherboard created for AMD processors with the Socket AM5 execution. A key feature of this product is that the primary connectors are situated on the reverse side, which includes power connectors, fan connectors, external USB ports, SATA, and more. Named Stealth by Gigabyte, this design is set to rival competing products from Asus BTF series and MSI’s Project Zero.
Design of the B650E Aorus Stealth ICE
Similar to other motherboards with back-mounted connectors, all cables connect to the reverse side of the B650E Aorus Stealth ICE, rendering a computer built on its base free from visible cables, hence more aesthetic. Additionally, Gigabyte emphasizes that theirs is the first white-colored motherboard supporting this connection type.
Specs of the B650E Aorus Stealth ICE
Its enormous casing nearly fully conceals the front of the motherboard, leaving space only for the processor socket and slots for PCIe and memory. The B650E Aorus Stealth ICE is equipped with a single PCIe 5.0 X16 slot, enabling full support for next-generation graphical processors.
Current Limitation of Back-Mounted Connector Motherboards
The only drawback of motherboards with a reverse connection today is the limited compatibility with cases.
