Comprehensive Connectivity
USB-C DisplayPort (DP Alt Mode)
This USB Type-C® port delivers transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, and it supports an alternate mode that provides DisplayPort™ 1.4 output for up to 8K resolution at 60 Hz. This new feature gives creators premium-grade flexibility to choose between high-speed data or an additional hi-res display*.
*This functionality requires the bundled DP-to-DP cable to be connected from an installed graphics card to the DP IN port located on the rear I/O panel of the motherboard.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® front-panel connector with Quick Charge 4+
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 boosts data transfers with speeds of up to 20 Gbps. This header also features Quick Charge 4+ technology that can quickly charge your pen display, tablet or mobile phone up to 60 watts by using a PCIe power supply cable plugged into the nearby 6-pin connector.

USB4® Support
ProArt B650-Creator features USB4® support via a Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header. With an ASUS add-on card*, ProArt motherboards can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable, while providing power to fast-charge device. Additionally, this card has a daisy-chain function for multi-screen connection and supports up to dual displays with 4K resolution.
*ASUS add-on card is sold separately.

Multi-card support
The ProArt B650-Creator supports multi-card configurations for expandability and flexibility in various professional workload scenarios such as 3D animation, video editing, audio production and SSD storage capacity upgrades.

Networking

Dual Ethernet
2.5 Gb and 1 Gb Ethernet provide fast data transfers simultaneously for internet and for local network-attached storage (NAS), allowing for improved data organization and security.

M.2 Slot (Key E)
ProArt B650-Creator features an M.2 slot (key E) which can support type 2230 WiFi/Bluetooth modules*.
*WiFi/BT modules are sold separately.

PCIe 5.0 M.2 Storage
The ProArt B650-Creator features three onboard M.2 slots, one of which is PCIe 5.0-ready to offer blistering 16 GB/s speed, while the remaining pair can still deliver massive 8 GB/s transfers through their PCIe 4.0 interfaces.

The core of your powerful workstation

Robust power design

12+2 teamed power stages
Rated for 60 amps and combining high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, these stages deliver power and efficiency tailored for the latest AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors.

Digi+ power control
The ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry and ensures ultra-smooth power delivery to the CPU.

ProCool power connectors
Built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.

Chokes & capacitors
Superior alloy chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, providing a higher level of performance than the industry standard.

Performance boost
AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD’s algorithm can leverage the motherboard’s robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.

Memory
The ProArt B650-Creator enhances DDR5 performance by providing overclocking options that would otherwise be locked, whether you’re dealing with high-speed or entry-level memory modules.

DDR5 Strength
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the ProArt B650-Creator is ready for enthusiast-grade kits, courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via an extensive array of settings in the UEFI.

AEMP
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

Flexible Air- and Liquid-Cooling Controls
ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps and all-in-one (AIO) coolers. Whether cooling with air or water, an Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans, water pumps and AIO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

Everything you need to optimize workflow

Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation
As working from home becomes the new normal, clear online communication is more critical than ever. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation is an audio utility that leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone* and incoming audio. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are smartly pared back so your calls and video conferences with partners and clients are crystal clear.

Customize your personal settings
ProArt Creator Hub is your personal portal to monitor your PC status, personalize settings or optimize your workflow. It features an intuitive overview dashboard, quickly switching fan profiles and makes short work of switching between different performance modes.

Security control and remote management
Advanced security management functions from ASUS Control Center Express protects the systems and confidential data in your creative studio.

USB port management
Enable or disable the USB port or set it to Read-Only to prevent data leaks.

Software blacklist
For added security, a software blacklist is available to help prevent the use of high-risk applications.

Registry Editor on/off
Remotely disable the Registry Editor on client devices to prevent unauthorized changes to system configurations.

Trusted stability
ProArt B650-Creator is engineered and rigorously tested to offer superior quality, stability and compatibility to ensure that it empowers creativity for years to come.
