Asus PRIME B650M-A

An all-in-one motherboard from the 2023 Asus Prime product line, focused on the next generation of components. In particular, it is equipped with an AM5 processor socket, which AMD in 2022 did not replace the universal, but obsolete AM4 socket. As a result, the board is declared to have full support for the new AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors, and with earlier versions of Ryzen, how lucky.

Secondly, the new platform is designed exclusively to work with the new generation of DDR5 RAM, the performance of which significantly exceeds the performance of most RAM samples of previous generations. Thirdly, the declared integration of the PCI-E bus of the fourth and fifth generations gives a potential owner a free hand when designing a disk subsystem. The slot layout allows you to install a pair of M.2 SSDs and four standard drives with a SATA3 connection in the system.

Throw in the uncharacteristically powerful 10-phase power subsystem for a Prime series to this list, and you have a rather interesting example of a well-balanced motherboard with an eye to the future. Such a sample will look equally appropriate both in a modern workstation and in a fairly powerful gaming PC with water cooling and addressable backlighting. Advanced UEFI mode with a concise graphical interface, many in-depth settings and a search system will appeal to fans who independently configure all the working nuances of the system. In turn, the support of the Fan Xpert 4 system unleashes the organization of powerful air cooling.
