Take your build from B-tier to S with the Strix B650E-E! PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 propel your rig into the future. and innovative Q-Design features make system setup a breeze. All of its perks are backed by a tenacious power solution. hefty heatsinks. and exclusive overclocking technologies to drive you to the next level with Ryzen 7000.DIY-FRIENDLY FEATURESPCIE® SLOT Q-RELEASEA physical button unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one press. greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.M.2 Q-LATCHThe 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.CLEAR CMOSThe Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected.BIOS FLASHBACK BUTTONBIOS 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.Q-CODE LED PANELThe on-board LED panel shows 2-digit diagnostic codes. providing a valuable reference for troubleshooting common boot problems and hardware issues.ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCEWith its jacked up power solution. beefy VRM heatsinks. and incredible throughput to connected components. the ROG Strix B650E-E goes toe-to-toe with the greatest that Ryzen 7000 can offer.Fully embracing the new standard. the Strix B650E-E offers abundant PCIe 5.0 support to give unfettered bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available. Both of the x16 expansion slots are Gen 5-ready. and are protected with SafeSlot retention brackets. Two of the onboard M.2 slots are geared for blistering 16 GB/s read and write speeds courtesy of their PCIe 5.0 interfaces. while the accompanying 4.0 pair deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. And all of the M.2 slots are covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.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.Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control current. power. and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form. you can let your system run unrestricted during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce power consumption as temperature increases. But the system is extremely adaptable. supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate parameters independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.PBO ENHANCEMENTAMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters. AMD’s algorithm can leverage the motherboard’s robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.POWER ARCHITECTURE16 + 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 CAPACITORSHi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures. enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.EIGHT-LAYER PCBA 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.For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds. the ROG Strix B650E-E 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 HEATSINK ARRAYCovering the power solution are two thick heatsinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Ryzen 7000 Series processors.HIGH-CONDUCTIVITY THERMAL PADSHigh-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks. helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.M.2 HEATSINKSHeatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performan
