Asus ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING WIFI (90MB1BI0-M0EAY0)

A compact mini-ITX motherboard from the 2023 ROG STRIX gaming series, designed for hardcore gamers and overclocking enthusiasts. It has many advantages that make it easier to assemble and configure a gaming system in a compact case. It stands out due to its compact size, built-in Wi-Fi adapter, support for water cooling systems and an integrated backlight synchronization system, and an unusually strict design for the ROG STRIX series with an emphasis on black.

Asus ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING WIFI is equipped with an AM5 processor socket, which AMD introduced in 2022 to replace the old AM4, released back in 2017. This platform is designed for installation of Ryzen 7000 and subsequent series processors, and instead of DDR4 memory, support for the DDR5 standard is announced. The maximum operating frequency of the memory can reach an impressive 8000 MHz, which significantly exceeds the performance of DDR4.

There are only 2 slots for RAM, but you can install slots up to 48 GB in them, increasing the total amount of RAM to 98 GB. The integration of the PCI-E 4.0 bus frees up the potential owner’s hands when designing a disk subsystem in which reactive M.2 SSD drives will play a major role. The powerful and highly efficient 12-phase processor power subsystem with additional VRM cooling is fully ready to work in tandem with multi-core Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 processors of current and future generations.

In addition, the device has almost everything a modern video game fan needs in its arsenal. In particular, the ROG SupremeFX sound system is equipped with a built-in Savitech SV3H712 amplifier and supports 7.1 multi-channel audio. The network one is equipped with a direct 2.5 Gigabit LAN controller and a built-in wireless module (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth v 5.2). And along the perimeter of the board are generously scattered connectors for RGB and ARGB strips (running Aura Sync software) and landing zones for liquid cooling systems.
