Description

ASUS ProArt B650-CREATOR AMD Ryzen DDR5 PCIe 5.0 ATX Motherboard - Socket AM5

ProArt B650-Creator is an advanced motherboard designed for intensive content-creation workloads like virtual production, 3D rendering and 4K/8K video editing. It unleashes the performance of AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series processors through robust power delivery and cooling design, and its comprehensive connectivity includes onboard 2.5 Gb and 1 Gb Ethernet, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® front-panel connector with Quick Charge 4+, and DisplayPort™ via USB-C.

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.
ProArt B650-Creator features USB4® support via a Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header

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.

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.

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.

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.
