Hide Your Sins With The GIGABYTE B850M AORUS Stealth Ice
An Updated B850M SFF Board With Connectors On The Backside
Gigabyte has a new B850M board which could help you build an immaculately clean Micro-ATX system. The AORUS Stealth Ice is silver and white with a design that moves all your connectors to the back of the board. That’s everything from your 24-pin ATX power to the front panel to the 12V connector, even the fan connectors. That will mean a bit of extra work and that you should consider your case of choice rather carefully but gives you the opportunity to build a clean looking system, not to mention offering pretty much unimpeded airflow.
As this the AORUS Stealth Ice is new for 2026, you get Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5GbE wired connectivity and up to three USB 10Gbps ports. The 64MB BIOS has an integrated Wi-Fi driver and also means the AORUS Stealth Ice will offer Zen 6 support. TweakTown ran it through its paces and found it to be a solid board, but the real selling factor is the overall design of the AORUS Stealth Ice.
Boards with backside connectors remain a niche, but for those looking for the cleanest of SFF builds, this stealthy GIGABYTE option is hard to beat.
