Asus ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WIFI Socket AM5 Motherboard

The ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi comes packed with powerful performance and thermal prowess in a cool-looking package. Robust power delivery designed to drive the latest AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series processors is cooled by thick metal heatsinks that stand out against a black PCB. A PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, fast DDR5 memory support, and the latest WiFi 6E network enhance the futuristic feature set.

PCIe 5.0
Ultra-fast storage is at your disposal with one PCIe 5.0 and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, all with rugged heatsinks to maximize performance. Boost speeds even further, create a mirror backup, or both; NVMe and SATA RAID (0/1/10) configurations are available through AMD RAIDXpert2. The superior SafeSlot PCIe 4.0 x16 supports heavy graphics cards and features Q-Release for easy upgrades.
 
DDR5
For those who want to fly beyond standard DDR5 speeds, the Strix B650-A is primed and ready for enthusiast-level kit, courtesy of extensive support for AMD's extended profiles for overclocking (EXPO). Seasoned veterans can further fine-tune performance through the wide range of settings in UEFI.
 
WI-FI 6E
Integrated WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultra-fast performance and better performance in dense wireless environments.

Intel 2.5G Ethernet
Low-latency gaming, fast file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are some of the many benefits of integrated Intel® 2.5Gbps Ethernet.
 
SUPREMOFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique combination of hardware and software technologies that delivers superior audio. The Strix B650-A implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz on all channels. The front panel output is fed through the integrated Savitech amplifier which can drive high fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headphones.
 
Overclocking ready
The enhanced power delivery lays the foundation for ASUS-exclusive ocerclocking technology to further boost the Ryzen 7000's capabilities.
 
PCIE ® Q-RELEASE SLOT
A physical button unlocks the first PCIe slot's security latch with a simple press, greatly simplifying the process of removing a PCIe card from the motherboard when it's time to upgrade to a new GPU or add-on card.
 
BIOS FLASHBACK™
BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and easy way to update the BIOS. Simply drop the BIOS (UEFI) file onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.
 
LED Q
Four integrated LEDs indicate power status and identify issues with the CPU, memory, graphics card, or boot device for quick diagnosis.
 
HEATSINK COMPATIBILITY
The ROG Strix B650-A has the same mounting hole alignment as the AM4 platforms, making it backward compatible with many existing coolers, including all AIO offerings from ASUS and ROG.
