The PCIE X16 of the Gigabyte B650E Aorus Pro X USB4 will support graphics cards of up to 58 KG

There are no 58 KG graphics cards, but that is the weight that the port is capable of supporting PCI Express x16 5.0 Of the new Gigabyte B650E Aorus Pro X USB4a motherboard that adds a metal reinforcement to said port to avoid problems with heavy graphics cards or involuntary movements when mounting the PC or moving it from one place to another.

Called “Ultra Durable PCIE ARMOR”, the reinforcement plate has a rear backplate fixed to four anchor points with four screws, and extends to completely embrace the PCI Express port, leaving a rather curious design that, without a doubt, has all looks tough.

Gigabyte calls this port “PCI Express UD Slot X” and it could give us an indication that the next generation graphics cards will be even larger and heavier than the current one. Although smaller and more efficient chips are becoming available, the truth is that the graphics card market has given us increasingly larger models with higher dissipation requirements.

There are no details on its launch yet, although considering that it is based on an old, mid-range chipset, it may just be an appetizer for a new family of motherboards. In any case, we hope to see it at Computex 2024.
