Asus TUF GAMING B650M-E AM5 mATX Motherboard

The ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-E is a Micro-ATX motherboard engineered for AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors using the AM5 socket. Built on the B650 chipset, it provides a stable platform for PC builds where space and reliability are key considerations. Its power delivery system utilizes 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS connectors to ensure consistent voltage to the CPU and other components during operation. This board's compact form factor makes it a suitable foundation for focused gaming systems or workstations that do not require the expansion capacity of a full-size ATX board.

Memory support includes four dual-channel DIMM slots for DDR5 modules, accommodating up to 128 GB of total system memory with speeds reaching 7600 MHz. For storage, the board is equipped with two M.2 slots for NVMe solid-state drives and four SATA III ports for traditional HDDs and SSDs. It also offers RAID 0, 1, and 10 support for data redundancy or performance enhancement. The primary expansion slot is a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface for modern graphics cards, supplemented by two PCIe x1 slots for additional peripherals.

Connectivity is handled by a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed wired networking. The rear I/O panel features a versatile selection of USB ports, including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C, alongside one HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs for use with integrated graphics. Internally, the board provides headers for front panel USB, 8-channel HD audio, and an RGB LED pin header for system lighting customization. A Clear CMOS button is also included for easy BIOS resets.
