MSI B650M PROJECT ZERO

The MSI B650M PROJECT ZERO motherboard is designed for mid-range builds based on AMD Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 series processors and offers modern capabilities thanks to the AM5 socket and B650 chipset. And the combination of a compact micro-ATX form factor with a fairly powerful 13-phase power system (13 phases, VRM cooling) allows us to consider it as a very productive and modern basis for a compact gaming PC on the AMD AM5 platform.

One of the key features of the MSI B650M PROJECT ZERO is an advanced cooling system, which includes VRM and chipset radiators, as well as multiple connectors for fans and water cooling. This approach allows you to maintain stable system operation even under intense loads, and also allows powerful processors to feel more at ease during automatic overclocking. At the same time, the board's BIOS offers a user-friendly interface with extensive customization options, suitable for both beginners and experienced users who like to customize the system to their needs.

Well, and those who want to assemble a neat assembly with backlighting in a panoramic case will be pleased with the use of "reverse" connectors, which are hidden on the back of the board so as not to spoil the beauty of chaotically protruding wires. As for data storage, the board is equipped with two M.2 PCIe 4.0×4 slots, which provide high read and write speeds, which is especially important for the system's performance when using NVMe SSD.

In addition, four SATA 6 Gbps ports provide compatibility with traditional hard drives and SATA SSDs. The board also has 4 DIMM slots for DDR5 RAM with a maximum frequency of up to 7600 MHz, into which you can load an extremely impressive 256 GB of memory. Network connection is provided by a Realtek RTL8125BG LAN controller with a throughput of up to 2.5 Gbps. In addition, the board is equipped with a wireless receiver with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth v 5.3.
