Heatsinks

VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pads
The VRM heatsink and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

Cooler by Design
Prime B650 series features comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 2+ software or via the UEFI BIOS.

Stack Cool 3+
2-ounce copper PCB dissipates heat from critical components to maintain optimal operating temperatures.

PERFORMANCE
The PRIME X670 series is built to handle the high core counts and bandwidth demands of AMD processors. ASUS B650 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity. Your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible data transfer options.

Memory

DDR5 Performance Enhancement
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. With the PRIME B650M-R, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, whether they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

For entry-level modules without EXPO™ memory support, Asus has you covered.

The PRIME B650M-R is supremely well-equipped for enthusiast-grade kits thanks to extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive settings in the UEFI.

Exclusive AEMP
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for memory modules with PMIC-restricted limitations. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimised frequency, timing, and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

Storage

PCIe® 4.0 M.2 Support
PRIME B650M-R offers two M.2 slots that support data-transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe® 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
* Actual transmission speeds are lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

Connectivity

Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet
Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfers.

LANGuard
ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level networking protection feature that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput and ensure a more reliable connection.

CUSTOMISATION
The PRIME B650 series adds the nuanced details that enhance every experience, from exclusive codecs that provide pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls that let you customise your system to create a uniquely personal look.

Outstanding Audio
Combined onboard features deliver elevated audio
Intelligent design and premium hardware create audio quality unlike anything you've ever experienced.

Audio Shielding
Audio shielding ensures precision analog/digital separation and greatly reduced multi-lateral interference.

Dedicated Audio PCB Layers
Separate layers for left and right tracks ensure both channels deliver consistent, equal quality.

Premium Audio Capacitors
Provides warm, natural, and immersive sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

Personalization

Aura Sync
Outshine the Competition
A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers — and it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

Addressable Gen 2 Headers
Two Addressable Gen 2 headers are capable of detecting the number of LEDs on second-generation addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers also offer backward-compatibility with existing Aura RGB gear.

Two-way AI Noise Cancelation
This utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio, all while preserving vocal sound. This removes distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks, and other ambient noises so you can hear and be heard with crystal clarity while gaming or on calls.

Armoury Crate
Within a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate provides easily customisable Aura Sync RGB settings for every compatible device in your arsenal, plus controls for an ever-growing family of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate also integrates product registration and a news feed so you never miss updates of interest to the ASUS community.
