ASUS has announced the new AMD B650 and 650E series motherboards. These products draw attention with PCIe 5.0 slots, DDR5 support, high-speed USB connectivity, ASUS Q-Design features and much more. Here are the details…

ASUS’ AMD B650 and 650E motherboard models stand out with their performance

Offering a wide range of products, ASUS comes up with models suitable for every budget and need. From the flagship ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi to the small and powerful ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi, these motherboards come with premium features and eye-catching designs.

ASUS B650E and B650 motherboards are equipped with next-generation features. At the beginning of the innovations brought by this platform is the (LGA) processor socket AMD Socket AM5. Unlike previous AMD desktop platforms, this platform has the pins on the motherboard. This reduces the chance of accidentally bending and twisting the pins when installing a processor.

Socket AM5 provides TDP support up to 170 watts. Thus, extraordinary performance can be obtained from processors with many cores under heavy workload. Of course, the processor slot is not the only thing that has passed on to the new generation. B650E and B650 motherboards support the latest DDR5 RAMs. Performance is taken to a whole new level with DDR5, which offers 50% higher data rates than previous generation DDR4 memory.

ASUS motherboards also feature a variety of hardware and software optimizations that allow suitable memory kits to be overclocked to the limit. B650E and B650 motherboards also have PCIe 5.0 connectivity. Every model ASUS offers in the series has at least one onboard PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, which is compatible with the fastest storage drives on the market.

Those who want to collect a computer that will take full advantage of the next generation PCIe 5.0 graphics cards can choose ASUS B650E motherboard models. These high-end models have at least one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. Offering twice the connection speed of PCIe 4.0, this new standard enables ASUS B650E and B650 motherboards to take advantage of high-speed connectivity options. All ROG Strix, TUF Gaming and ProArt B650 motherboard models in the series feature a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port.

ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi

ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi model offers an ideal solution for users who like the aesthetic design and general features of the ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi model, but do not need two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots.

Exactly the same as its big sibling in many respects, this motherboard features one PCIe® 5.0 x16 slot and one next-generation PCIe 5.0 M.2 drive slot, which most users will find adequate for a mid-range gaming PC.

Other than that, this motherboard is largely identical to the top model in the series. The two motherboards also share design features for those who want to build their own system, with giant VRMs, shields and heatsinks in the same plain black, and similar Aura Sync RGB LED lines that offer bold colors.

ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi

ATX size may seem too large for a computer to be used in places where space is limited, such as a home entertainment center or student room. ASUS presents the ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi model for a mini-ITX system that dreams of. Although this small motherboard fits in the palm of one hand, it is packed with high-end gaming features.
