ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING WIFI
Don’t be fooled by its flyweight frame; the Strix B650E-I packs walloping performance! With a jacked VRM and pumped with both DDR and PCIe 5, it’s a perfect partner for Ryzen 7000, particularly in stealthy SFF builds.
M.2 Q-LATCH
The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly eliminate traditional screws.
BIOS FLASHBACK BUTTON
BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.
FLEXKEY BUTTON
At its default, FlexKey functions as a system reset button, but it can also be easily reassigned to quickly activate Safe Boot or enter the BIOS.
Q-LED
Four onboard LEDs indicate power status and identify problems with CPU, memory, graphics card, or boot device for quick diagnosis.
PCIE 5.0
Fully embracing the new standard, the Strix B650E-I offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support to give unfettered bandwidth for the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available. The x16 expansion slot is Gen 5-ready, and is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket. The onboard M.2 slot is also geared for PCIe 5.0, allowing for blistering 16 GB/s read and write speeds, while the other slot delivers still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers over its PCIe 4.0 interface.
DYNAMIC OC SWITCHER
Lightly-threaded tasks get fantastic uplift using AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), but all-core frequencies can be pushed higher via traditional overclocking. The Dynamic OC Switcher automatically engages PBO or your preferred settings based on the CPU current or temperature, giving you the best of both worlds. Core Flex and PBO Enhancement can also be deployed to work in tandem with the Dynamic OC Switcher and further bolster performance.
POWER ARCHITECTURE
10 + 2 power stages rated to 70A each deliver ample current in order to drive Ryzen 7000 through any workload with ease.
ALLOY CHOKES AND DURABLE CAPACITORS
Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
TEN-LAYER PCB
A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
DDR5 STRENGTH
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the ROG Strix B650E-I 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.
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized profiles with higher frequency and tighter timings that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.
VRM COOLING ARRAY
Substantial heatsinks cover the power solution, bolstered by a quiet thermal system that intakes from the core and outputs heat upwards through a ventilated top, so the VRM stays cool even in air-restricted systems.
HIGH-CONDUCTIVITY THERMAL PADS
High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.
WIFI 6E
Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments.
Intel 2.5G Ethernet
Low-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.
LEADING CONNECTIVITY
Despite its tiny desktop footprint, the Strix B650E-I stands tall in the connectivity department, with beyond-Gigabit tethered and wireless networking options, and gigantic audio quality via the enhanced SupremeFX solution.
SUPREMEFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix B650E-I implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.
AUDIO-LINE SHIELDING
A specially-designed circuit separation reduces electromagnetic interference from the motherboard and attached devices for cleaner audio.
UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX
The mesh-like texture on the VRM cooling array and the unidirectional brush lines may seem minimalist by Strix standards, but the B650E-I is far from modest, proudly displaying a metallic ROG eye on the I/O shroud and subtle pink accents for a simple, unique flavor.
COOLER COMPATIBILITY
The ROG Strix B650E-I bears the same mounting hole alignment as AM4 platforms, so it is backward compatible with many existing coolers, including all AIO offerings from ASUS and ROG.
THE ROG STRIX ECOSYSTEM AWAITS
Level up your game with ROG Strix. Enjoy complementary aesthetics, control, and compatibility across AIO coolers, cases, peripherals, and much more. ROG offers more choices than any other brand.
