Asus TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI (90MB1BF0-M0EAY0)

Full-size ATX motherboard based on the mid-range AMD B650 chipset. Equipped with the AMD AM5 socket, it is designed for installing next-generation Ryzen Raphael processors, which were introduced to the public in 2022. The board is at the upper end of the mid-price segment and is part of the gaming Asus Ultimate Force line, whose products are created with durability in mind and undergo comprehensive factory stress tests.

It is compatible with high-rank DDR5 6400 MHz RAM, equipped with a platform and connectors for connecting a water pump, and supports proprietary auto-overclocking tools (Optimem II, AMD EXPO, PBO). Its 14-phase power subsystem will handle manual overclocking of 8 or 12-core processors like Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7. At the same time, despite its gaming nature, the model is an excellent choice for coders, designers, layout designers, and many other professionals who require a reliable and powerful PC ready to work non-stop.

The presence of 6 storage slots (4 SATA3 + 2 M.2) with a built-in RAID controller allows for the creation of a huge disk array, the use of the PCIe 4.0 bus enables the use of reactive M.2 SSDs, and the support of DDR5 memory, which only entered the mass market in 2022, provides a good future-proof feature. Additionally, the 2.5-gigabit network controller, built-in wireless module, and support for the USB-C 3.2 gen2x2 interface come in quite handy.
