This is SPECIFICALLY the 1.0 version it seems, and there have been revisions 1.1 through 1.5 over the past couple of years
The 1.0 is fine, but one of the key differences is that it comes with AMD I have had this motherboard since a few months after the release of AM5 motherboards, and it's great.
The 1.0 is fine, but one of the key difference is that it comes with AMD/WiFi chip, and NOT Intel or Realtek WiFi chips.
Me and many other people have bad experience with this chip such as bad ping spikes and waiting to connect to WiFi after startup for multiple minutes, which can be fixed.
This can be easily fixed by googling "aorus b650 rz616 drivers Reddit" You'll download better versions of these drivers from Microsoft themselves instead of using the drivers supplied by Gigabyte, specifically referring to the WiFi drivers provided.
Since this is a revision 1.0 I'm assuming? That these might've been sitting around and don't have a new-ish BlOs, although I could be wrong.
I would immediately update bios the latest non Beta BIOS, as you will receive a plethora of updates regarding RAM stability, Ryzen chip support, much faster boot times, and security flaw updates.
Take note of your BIOS version, if it's something older than you absolutely should update, although I would be doing it regardless.
Great motherboard, the BIOS, Ryzen chips and RAM support are all rock solid now too.

Makes no difference in performance, but hey, more Vrm is more Vrm.

Just FYI, if you update the BIOS to the latest version i.e F35, your B650 wont support PCIE 5.0 x 16. It would only be PCIE 4.0 x 16 like AMD commanded.
PCIE 5.0 x16 helps these 8GB VRAM video cards. The extra bandwidth uplifts the performance a bit when the game requires more than 8GB of VRAM.

Does it make a performance difference, NO.
The new revision is 55a x 12, vs 70a x 14, The cpu is only allowed to draw 150a.
So, you only need 4 of the vrms given adequate cooling, they double up usually so the efficiency is higher, but 55a x12 is peak efficiency already for 150-200a, 70a x14 is actually less efficient, higher losses.
But then, if you get the jank super cheap boards with only 4 or 5 vrms, they are actually the most efficient at low loads, but lose efficiency at high load as it push past mid-band.
Point is, you don't want 4 or 5, you want at least 7 or 8. 12 is more than you will ever need.
24-30 is just flexing, in a stupid way, because it's actually, much higher losses, and the chips again, will never go past 150a.
