ASUS PRIME B650-PLUS WIFI ATX Motherboard

The ASUS PRIME B650-PLUS WIFI delivers robust performance for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors. This ATX motherboard combines advanced connectivity, comprehensive cooling, and flexible tuning options for demanding builds and AI PC applications.

AMD AM5 Platform with DDR5 Memory

Built on the AMD B650 chipset, this motherboard supports the latest AM5 socket processors with four DDR5 DIMM slots supporting speeds up to 7600+ MHz (OC). ASUS OptiMem II technology optimizes trace routing across PCB layers to reduce crosstalk and enhance memory overclocking stability, supporting up to 192GB total capacity with AMD EXPO profiles.

High-Speed Storage and Connectivity

Two M.2 slots provide flexible storage options, with the primary slot supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 for transfer speeds up to 128Gbps on Ryzen 9000/7000 CPUs. Four SATA III ports and RAID 0/1/10 support via AMD RAIDXpert2 offer additional storage configurations. The PCIe 4.0 x16 slot accommodates modern graphics cards with SafeSlot Core+ reinforcement for secure installation.

Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5Gb Ethernet

Integrated Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3 provides tri-band wireless connectivity across 2.4/5/6 GHz frequencies. Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet with LANGuard protection delivers high-throughput wired networking with advanced signal-coupling technology and anti-EMI capacitors for reliable connections.

Comprehensive Cooling Solution

VRM heatsinks with thermal pads, M.2 heatsink, and PCH heatsink manage thermal loads effectively. Six hybrid fan headers (CPU, CPU OPT, AIO pump, three chassis) with Fan Xpert 2+ software enable precise cooling control. Headers support both PWM and DC fans with automatic detection and smart overcurrent protection.

Extensive USB and Thunderbolt Support

Rear I/O includes four USB 10Gbps ports (three Type-A, one Type-C), two USB 5Gbps Type-A, and two USB 2.0 ports. Front panel connectivity supports USB 5Gbps Type-C. The Thunderbolt 4 header enables USB4 support with optional add-on card for 40Gbps bi-directional speeds and dual 4K display output.

Flexible Power and Tuning

Digi+ VRM provides real-time voltage control for CPU stability and performance optimization. AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) leverages the robust power design to increase performance parameters. Power Saving functions optimize consumption through CPU limits, Aura lighting adjustments, and fan profile management.

RGB Lighting and Customization

Three addressable Gen 2 RGB headers and one Aura RGB header support synchronized lighting effects through Armoury Crate software. Q-LED Core provides POST diagnostic patterns via power LED. BIOS FlashBack button enables BIOS updates without CPU or memory installed.

Audio and Display

Realtek 7.1 surround sound codec delivers high-definition audio through five rear jacks and optical S/PDIF output. Integrated graphics support (CPU-dependent) includes HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for multi-monitor configurations.
