DIY-Friendly
PCIe® Slot Q-ReleaseA 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-in card.M.2 Q-LatchThe innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an SSD from an M.2 slot. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive, elimiting the need for a traditiol screw.
BIOS Flashback ButtonBIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS 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.
Q-LEDFour onboard LEDs indicate power status and identify problems with CPU, memory, graphics card, or boot device for quick diagnosis.
All-Round PerformanceRobust power delivery, speedy storage and RAM, and comprehensive cooling controls are core fundamentals of the ROG Strix B650-A, thoroughly preparing you for the future of gaming.PCIe 5.0Blazing 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.PBO EnhancementAMD 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.Power Architecture12 + 2 power stages rated to 60A each deliver ample current in order to drive AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series processors through any workload with ease.Alloy Chokes And Durable CapacitorsHi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, ebling performance that exceeds industry standards.Six-Layer PCBA 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.MemoryFor those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the Strix B650-A 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.AEMPASUS 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 profiles with higher frequency and tighter timings that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.
VRM HeatsinksTwo 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.High-Conductivity Thermal PadsHigh-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.M.2 HeatsinksHeatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.CPU Fan HeadersA dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers provides easy access to CPU coolers.AIO Pump Fan HeaderA dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups
4-pin PWM/DC Fan HeadersEach header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Leading ConnectivityThe ROG Strix B650-A 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 6EOnboard 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 EthernetDescription
