ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-E Gaming Motherboard - AMD AM5 Platform

The ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-E delivers enthusiast-grade performance for AMD Ryzen 7000 processors with comprehensive PCIe 5.0 support and DDR5 memory compatibility. This ATX motherboard combines robust power delivery, advanced cooling, and DIY-friendly Q-Design features for seamless system building.

PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 Performance

Equipped with dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, this motherboard provides bandwidth for next-generation graphics cards and NVMe SSDs with 16 GB/s read/write speeds. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support speeds up to 6400 MT/s+ with AMD EXPO profiles and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) for optimized performance. Maximum memory capacity reaches 192GB across all four channels.

16+2 Power Stage Design

The power solution features 16 stages rated to 70A each, delivering stable current to Ryzen 7000 CPUs under demanding workloads. VRM heatsinks with strategic airflow channels and high-conductivity thermal pads maintain optimal temperatures during extended gaming sessions. An eight-layer PCB design enhances heat dissipation around voltage regulators for improved overclocking headroom.

Q-Design DIY Features

PCIe Slot Q-Release enables tool-free graphics card removal with a single button press. M.2 Q-Latch simplifies SSD installation without screws. The rear I/O panel includes dedicated Clear CMOS and BIOS FlashBack buttons for quick troubleshooting and firmware updates without installed components. A Q-Code LED panel displays diagnostic codes for streamlined problem identification.

Connectivity and Audio

WiFi 6E technology accesses the 6 GHz spectrum for reduced interference and faster wireless speeds. Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet provides low-latency wired networking. SupremeFX audio with ALC4080 codec delivers 32-bit/384 kHz playback across all channels, while the integrated Savitech amplifier drives high-fidelity output to various headsets and speakers.

Storage and Expansion

Four M.2 slots with individual heatsinks accommodate multiple NVMe drives, with two supporting PCIe 5.0 and two supporting PCIe 4.0. Four SATA III ports provide additional storage options. Three PCIe slots enable multi-GPU configurations or expansion card installation. USB connectivity includes USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, seven USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, and multiple USB 2.0 headers.

Cooling Control

Six 4-pin fan headers with PWM/DC auto-detection support comprehensive cooling configurations. Dedicated CPU fan headers, AIO pump header, and chassis fan connections integrate with Fan Xpert 4 software for granular thermal management. All M.2 slots include heatsinks to maintain consistent SSD performance under load.

RGB and Aesthetics

Aura Sync RGB lighting on the I/O shroud synchronizes with compatible ROG peripherals, graphics cards, and accessories. The black PCB with contrasting metal textures and pink accents matches the Electro Punk aesthetic. AM4 cooler compatibility ensures broad support for existing cooling solutions.
