About the ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi Motherboard
PCIe 5.0
Blazing fast storage is at your command with a PCIe 5.0 and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, all featuring robust heatsinks to maximize performance. Push speeds even further, create a mirrored backup, or both; NVMe and SATA RAID configurations (0/1/10) are available through AMD RAIDXpert2. The top PCIe 4.0 x16 SafeSlot supports heavy graphics cards and features Q-Release for easy upgrades.
Power Design
12 + 2 power stages rated to 60A each deliver ample current in order to drive AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors through any workload with ease. A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
DDR5 Strength
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.
VRM Heatsinks
Two VRM heatsinks, one expanding underneath the I/O shroud, provide ample surface area and mass to handle the power needs of high-performance AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors.
M.2 Heatsinks
Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
CPU Fan Headers
ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi’s dedicated PWM/DC fan header provides easy access to CPU coolers.
Thermal Pads
High-quality thermal pads are utilised between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.
Leading Connectivity
The ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi delivers next-gen connectivity for ultrafast data transfers and low-latency networking. An advanced audio solution allows you to pick out the smallest cues and home in on your opponents.
WiFi 6E
Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments.
Intel 2.5G Ethernet
Low-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.
Aura Sync
ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.
SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.
