Standard size motherboard from the 2022 ASRock Pro line. Unlike most of its peers, its capabilities go beyond the boundaries of the middle class. The ASRock B650 PG Lightning is equipped with an AM5 processor socket, replacing the popular but aging AM4 socket. The model is designed to work with DDR5 memory and high-speed SSD drives, providing support for the fourth and fifth generation PCI-E bus.

In total, the platform supports the installation of DDR5 RAM modules with a maximum frequency of 7200 MHz and a total volume of up to 192 GB, which makes it an attractive choice for users focused on working with large amounts of fast and modern RAM. Drive installation options include three M.2 connectors for high-speed NVMe SSD drives, including one operating in PCI-E 5.0 mode, as well as four SATA3 ports for standard HDD and SSD drives.

An integrated, high-performance 17-phase power converter with a larger heatsink and improved circuitry ensures the full potential of multi-core Ryzen 7000 series processors. In addition, the board provides two PCI-E slots for installing video cards that support Crossfire mode. Additional free connectors along the perimeter of the board for LED strips and water cooling exceed the capabilities of most PRO series boards, turning this model into a rather interesting option for a gaming PC using next-gen components. The Dragon RTL8125BG network controller with 2.5 Gbps bandwidth provides high performance in competitive games and resource-intensive tasks.

ASRock B650 PG Lightning ATX Motherboard for AMD AM5 CPUs 90-MXBK20-A0UAYZ

Optimized VRM Design SPS (Smart Power Stage) Dr.MOS design features the latest SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology. It&rsquo... more;s optimized for monitoring current and temperature of each phase, thus delivering smoother and neater power to the CPU with enhanced performance and OC capability. 14+2+1 Power Phase Design Featuring sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU, offering enhanced performance for gamers. 8 Layer PCB design The 8 Layer PCB provides stable signal traces and power shapes delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency, ensures a reliable and long-lasting system while delivering ultimate performance without any compromise. Extreme Memory Overclocking DDR5 EXPO & XMP Support Derived from the “built for stable and reliable” designing concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. All B650 motherboards are built with 8-Layer PCB design, enthusiasts are able to enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance up to 6400MHz and beyond by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are AMD EXPO™/ Intel® XMP capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying and absolutely no sweat at all. * There are certain risks involved with memory overclocking and may affect your system’s stability. Please realize that overclocking should be done at your own risk and expense. EXPO/XMP profile support may vary by different system configuration, memory modules and motherboard models. Please refer to Memory QVL for the completed support list. Blazing OC Tuner The Blazing OC Tuner allows AM5 CPU to switch between OC mode and PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) mode when the CPU current hits threshold. Anything above current threshold will engage manual OC mode; if below current threshold then will engage Precision Boost Overdrive mode. This idea is to combine overclocking on all cores and automatic boost on a single core to get the best performance out of your CPU. There is no need to enter BIOS to setup up, you can modify all the settings on time under OS. DDR5 Memory with Protection Circuit Due to the unique electrical architecture of DDR5 DIMM, there’s a high risk of damaging the memory module if AC power isn’t disconnected properly during removal or installation. To prevent this, ASRock has implemented a trouble free protection circuit on every DDR5 motherboard, lowers the risk of damaging your memory module. Nahimic Audio Audio That Matters Whether you are using headphones, a headset, external or internal speakers, via USB, Wi-Fi, analog output or even HDMI, Nahimic Audio offers you the most engaging listening experience, vibrant and rich with details. Enhance Communication Quality The Powerful algorithms to ensure the best noise-free conversation, giving a constant vocal level no matter the distance from your mic.

Gaming power and technological superiority

ASRock B650 PG Lightning motherboard is designed for professional-grade gaming PCs. The main advantage of the model is its high-quality power design with 17 phases (14/2/1), providing support for powerful multi-core AMD 7000 series processors. The optimized VRM is complemented by SPS technology, which prevents overheating and allows you to safely overclock the system. The board supports EXPO/XMP profiles for improved performance and offers manual overclocking capabilities for DDR5 memory. Gaming PCI slots feature a reinforced metal base, and the M.2 interface with PCI Express 5.0 support significantly increases data transfer speeds. For efficient cooling, radiators are provided on key elements, allowing the use of both coolers and water cooling systems.

Simplified maintenance and optimized use

ASRock B650 PG Lightning provides automatic driver installation through a proprietary application after installing the OS. Firmware updates are available using the BIOS Flashback feature. Various controllers servicing ports for gaming devices guarantee minimal delay in signal transmission and increased response. USB 3.2 and USB-C interfaces are supported for quick connections. In terms of gaming features, it is worth noting an audio tracker to determine the direction of sound, a 2.5 Gbps network adapter for a reliable online connection, and an audio system with Nahimic technology to improve the sound of voice and music.
