M.2 Heatsink
The M.2 heatsink is flexible; which can take care of the M.2_1 or M.2_2 slot; warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers. The heatsink is held in place by captive screws.
VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads
VRM heatsinks and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
ProCool Connectors
Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the PSU with 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processors. Each jack features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.
DDR5 Performance Enhancement
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. With the PRIME B650-PLUS; 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; we've got you covered.
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds; the PRIME B650-PLUS is 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.
Storage
PCIe 5.0 M.2 Support: PRIME B650-PLUS offers a total of two M.2 slots; the first one supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0; enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
PCIe 4.0 Slot
Prime B650 motherboards offer PCIe 4.0 Slot connectivity for the latest GPUs. The wide bandwidth and superfast transmission speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can handle high loads effortlessly.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
A batch of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals; including a rear USB Type-C connector with ultrafast USB 3.2 Gen 2 for transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps.
USB4 Support
PRIME B650-PLUS motherboard features USB4 support via a Thunderbolt (USB4) header. With an ASUS add-on card; PRIME 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.
Addressable Gen 2 Headers
Three addressable Gen 2 headers are capable of detecting the number of LEDs on second-gen 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.
