Question 1

Does it support a Ryzen 3 2200g?

Accepted Answer

Well I am not supposed to include links but seriously, the manufacturer has a really nice table on their website that includes all supported CPU and which bios revision you will require to support them. It cant possibly hurt Newegg to review the board on the manufacturer's website. So just figure out where Gigabyte (com's) website is and Click on support, type the model number "B450 AORUS M", click search then select the CPU Support tab and bam.

Question 2

does this board have built in wifi?

Accepted Answer

Not this model, but the do have one and it is designated with a - WiFi in title and on box.
You can add a PCI card yourself still.

Question 3

So how do I connect to the internet with this? Do I need a separate wifi card? Anything else extra I need to buy?

Accepted Answer

You just plug in the ethernet cable to the input jack or buy a wireless adapter to plug in a USB port as far as "anything else " internet connection wise no. Good luck on your build

Question 4

Does this board need a Bios update to work with the Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm)?

Accepted Answer

I bought two of these for use with the Ryzen 5 2600 and they were supported in bios. Ryzen 5 1600 is the previous generation so there should be no problem with that series of Cpus as the B450 is backward compatible. Cheers.

Question 5

Does this motherboard support the Ryzen 5 3600 out of the box in 2021?

Accepted Answer

It might. It's very likely at this point it will. Hard to answer because it could be an old unit but very unlikely at this stage.

Question 6

Will this work with the Ryzen 3000 CPU's coming out next month?

Accepted Answer

According to Tom's Hardware:
"AMD has promised AM4 CPU socket compatibility until 2020 for all its Ryzen processors. That means you should be able to use any AMD Ryzen processor on any AM4 motherboard, providing AMD’s customers with a solid upgrade path in the future"

Question 7

I have three 6-pin RGB fans (no molex) and three 4-pin w/ molex solid color LED fans. Will this MB support all 6 fans or will I need something to make it all work?

Accepted Answer

they suggest that you need an adapter if you want all the fans to be lit. I'm using 4 fans. 3 are lit. 1 is an exhaust fan, not lit. power supply has its own fan, not lit. no  adapters were needed. watch out for win 10. it's glitzy.

Question 8

What graphic cards work best with this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

I use a Gigabyte RX580AORUS-8GB video card and it plays everything I need it to.

Question 9

Can this motherboard change the RGB on installed RAM sticks?

Accepted Answer

As long as your memory supports the gigabyte led software. You just install the software and then it should detect your memory leds, and allow you to modify them.

Question 10

If you use the m.2 slot... do you lose one of the SATA 6 connections?  I've seen this on several boards.. makes little sense to me.

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you not only lose one SATA port, but 2 SATA ports (the two in the front). Even though, 4 SATA ports are the standart in several boards.
