Whether the fan (pump) speed control function is supported will depend on the fan (pump) you install.

Gigabyte does not provide a clear CMOS button and this is disappointing for a motherboard in this market segment. I chose this board because many of the B550s are newer than some of the X570s and there is no chipset fan to worry about on this board and it has the same VRMs as the Aorus Xtreme.

RGB aficionados will also be pleased by the inclusion of five onboard headers, rather than the usual four. Buildzoid complains about the dual BIOS because he does all sorts of crazy overclocking that most people don’t do. Thankfully, there were no signs of slow-down for the AIDA memory bandwidth test and the latency result was also in the region of expectation.For 10Gbps USB ports running from AM4 CPUs, we have repeatedly seen a bug whereby they will not work with our Sabrent test enclosure on X570 or B550 motherboards from ANY vendor.
