| Revew | Gigabyte B850M EAGLE WiFi6E ICE MotherboardThe Gigabyte B850M EAGLE WiFi6E ICE is a white Micro ATX motherboard for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 processors in the AM5 socket, built on the AMD B850 chipset. The white design suits light-colored cases, and the 8+2+2 phase digital VRM provides a stable base for the CPU. With Ryzen 9000 and 7000 processors the main slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 and the main M.2 slot at PCIe 5.0 x4. The board includes Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3, 2.5GbE wired networking, a rear USB-C port and a Q-Flash Plus button for BIOS updates without a CPU or memory installed. 
Key features- White design, AM5 socket - A white ICE-style board with the AM5 socket for Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 processors and the AMD B850 chipset. An 8+2+2 phase Twin Digital VRM sits on a 6-layer PCB.
- DDR5 with EXPO and XMP - Four dual-channel DDR5 slots support up to 256GB and speeds of up to 8200 MT/s (OC), with AMD EXPO and Intel XMP profiles. The BIOS also offers X3D Turbo Mode to boost gaming performance.
- PCIe 5.0 for graphics and storage - With Ryzen 9000 and 7000 the main slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 and the main M.2 slot at PCIe 5.0 x4, with support for drives up to 25110. A second PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and four SATA 6Gb/s ports complete the layout.
- Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5GbE - The Realtek Wi-Fi 6E module covers the 2.4, 5 and 6GHz bands with Bluetooth 5.3, plus a directional antenna with WIFI EZ-Plug. Wired networking uses a Realtek 2.5GbE controller.
- Cooling and ports - VRM Thermal Armor Advanced with a 5 W/mK thermal pad, M.2 Thermal Guard and four fan headers with Smart Fan 6. The rear panel has USB-C and USB-A ports at USB 3.2 Gen 2, one HDMI and two DisplayPort outputs for up to three displays.
- Tool-free assembly - M.2 EZ-Latch Plus and M.2 EZ-Latch Click let you install SSDs without screws, and PCIe EZ-Latch Plus releases the graphics card easily. An integrated I/O shield and EZ-Debug LEDs make the first build simpler.
