Description

ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI AMD Ryzen DDR5 Micro ATX Motherboard - Socket AM5

ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI takes all the essential elements of the latest AMD Ryzen 7000-series processors and combines them with game-ready features and proven durability. Engineered with military-grade components, an upgraded power solution and a comprehensive cooling system, this motherboard goes beyond expectations with rock-solid and stable performance for marathon gaming. TUF GAMING motherboards also undergo rigorous endurance testing to ensure that they can handle conditions where others may fail. Aesthetically, this model incorporates rugged off-black and geometric design elements to reflect the dependability and stability that defines the TUF GAMING series.

Teamed Power Stages
12+2 power stages are each rated to handle 60 amperes, combining high-side and low-side MOSFETS and drivers into a single package to deliver power, efficiency and stable performance for all compatible AMD processors.

DDR5 DOMINANCE
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, TUF GAMING B650 motherboards are 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.

PCIe 5.0 Support
TUF GAMING B650 motherboards also feature one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot to enjoy the fastest data transfers of up to 128 Gbps, and all M.2 slots support for NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds.

PCIe 5.0
The latest AMD processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to the market. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks.

USB4® Support
TUF GAMING B650 motherboards feature USB4® support via a Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header. With an ASUS add-on card (sold separately), TUF GAMING 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.

Front USB3.2 Gen 1 Type-C®
A full complement of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C® connector that provides data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps.

WiFi 6
The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 1.2 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6.

2.5 Gb Ethernet
2.5 Gb on-board Ethernet kicks your LAN connection up a notch with a bandwidth improvement of up to 2.5X. Using your existing LAN cable, you can take advantage this networking upgrade to experience smoother, lag-free gaming, immediately stream high-resolution videos and enjoy faster file transfers.
