Asus Prime B650M-R Micro ATX Motherboard - AMD B650 arrives as a versatile micro ATX board designed for AMD Socket AM5 systems, compatible with Ryzen 7000 and 8000 series processors.

This motherboard blends a compact micro ATX form factor with the AMD B650 chipset to deliver a balance of performance and expandability for mainstream builders. Its black PCB and passive cooling make it unobtrusive in most builds while maintaining thermal stability for everyday use.

Memory support is modern and flexible with two DIMM slots for DDR5-SDRAM in dual-channel configuration, non-ECC, and speeds supported up to 7200 MHz, allowing up to 96 GB of system RAM for demanding applications and multitasking.

Storage options are broad with two M.2 slots and four SATA III ports, enabling up to six drives (HDDs and SSDs) and hardware RAID support for levels 0, 1 and 10. This makes the Prime B650M-R suitable for both fast NVMe boot drives and large-capacity SATA arrays.

Connectivity includes 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, a single HDMI output, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, multiple USB 2.0 ports, and audio with 7.1-channel output plus S/PDIF. Internal headers include front-panel audio, USB 2.0, RGB LED, TPM, COM and multiple fan connectors for flexible system integration.

For expansion the board provides one PCIe x16 (Gen4) slot and one PCIe x1 (Gen4) slot, together with a UEFI AMI BIOS (256 Mbit) and utility features such as Back-to-BIOS button, SATA cables included and a user guide in the package.

Typical use cases include compact gaming rigs with Ryzen 7000/8000 CPUs, content-creation workstations with fast NVMe storage, and reliable office or home systems requiring 2.5GbE networking and RAID-capable storage. The board supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 out of the box.

Key selling points: AMD Socket AM5 support, DDR5 up to 7200 MHz, dual M.2 + 4x SATA, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, micro ATX compactness and a passive cooling design for quiet operation.
