About the ASUS PRIME B650M-A Motherboard
Flexibility
Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS PRIME series. The ASUS PRIME B650M-A motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximise productivity.
Cooling
PRIME B650 series is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads. VRM heatsink and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance. Multiple PCB layers optimise heat management for critical components, providing more headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds.
Cooler by Design
ASUS PRIME B650M-A features comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 2+ software or via the UEFI BIOS. Each header can dynamically reference four thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimise cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
Performance
The PRIME B650 series is built to handle the high core counts and bandwidth demands of AMD processors. ASUS PRIME B650M-A motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible data transfer options.
DDR5 Memory
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. With the ASUS PRIME B650M-A, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, whether they’re from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.
PCIe 5.0 M.2 Support
ASUS PRIME B650M-A offers a total of two M.2 slots, the first one supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
PCIe 4.0 Slot
Prime B650 motherboards offer PCIe 4.0 Slot connectivity for the latest GPUs. The wide bandwidth and superfast transmission speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can handle high loads effortlessly.
Aura Sync
A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers.
Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet
Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfers.
Front USB Type-C
A full complement of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C connector that provides data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.
