ASUS PRIME B650EM-A WIFI AMD AM5 B650 mATX RGB Wi-Fi Motherboard

ASUS Prime series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of AMD Ryzen processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, PRIME B650EM-A WIFI provides users and PC DIY builders with a range of performance optimizations via intuitive software and firmware features. This platform delivers the power and connectivity that advanced AI PC applications demand.

CPU 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.

M.2 Heatsink:
The M.2 heatsink can take care of the M.2_1 slot, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers. The heatsink is heldVRM Heatsink and Thermal Pads

VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pads:
VRM heatsink and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance. in place by captive screws.

Robust Power Design:
Stable power is essential to extract every last bit of performance out of AMD processors. The PRIME B650EM-A WIFI is geared to cater to the demands of these high-core-count CPUs.

Aura Sync- Outshine the Competition:
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 - and it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
