Power delivery
The Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 carries 12 Vcore power stages rated 50 A each in a teamed arrangement, under medium heatsinks. Derating for the design and the cooling, our model puts it at roughly 574 W of sustained core power, which is enough for everything up to the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X at 140 W. That figure is published here rather than a marketing total because the phases that feed the SoC and the integrated graphics carry none of the CPU's core load.
What it throttles
Every AM4 processor in this database runs on the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 without throttling. Its power delivery is not the constraint on this platform, so pick your processor on price and core count and move on.
