Compatible with over 100 ASUS motherboards, ASUS Control Center Express offers a high-quality, TCO-optimized solution for business needs.

Optimizing IT endpoint management
Designed to help IT staff monitor and control devices on their corporate networks and to facilitate remote inventory management across multiple locations.

Automating IT maintenance
Enables IT staff to schedule automatic updates of the latest BIOS, software, and utilities for specific or all devices during off-peak hours to improve system stability and IT operational flexibility.

Secure management of all endpoints
Secure management of endpoint configuration, access to portable storage and PC software applications through the ability to create grouping rules for individual devices.

UEFI BIOS
The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS offers everything you need to configure, optimize, and fine-tune your system. It provides both intelligently simplified options for PC beginners and comprehensive features for experienced veterans.

Advanced Mode:
An intuitive advanced mode, offered via the UEFI, gives you complete control. An integrated search function makes it easy to find options, and various advanced features allow you to make intelligent adjustments so you can tailor performance precisely to your needs.

EZ Mode:
EZ Mode displays important settings and statistics and also offers wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and the ability to make important settings with one click - so you can set up your system in no time.

M.2 heatsink
An M.2 heatsink protects the two M.2 slots and prevents throttling, which can occur with M.2 SSDs during extended data transfers. The heatsink is secured with captive screws.

VRM heatsinks and thermal pads
VRM heat sinks and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

ProCool connections
Proprietary connectors complement the motherboard“s connection to the power supply with 8-pin connectors that deliver 12 volts directly to the processors. Each socket features solid contacts capable of handling higher currents than sockets with hollow contacts.

Six-layer circuit board design
Multiple PCB layers optimize heat dissipation for critical components and offer more headroom to accelerate CPUs beyond standard clock speeds.

DDR5 Performance Improvement
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. With the PRIME B650-PLUS, you can unlock the full potential of your DDR5 modules, whether they come from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

ASUS OptiMem II
Redesigned traces on the motherboard allow the latest processors unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal paths across the various PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

PCIe 5.0 M.2 support
The PRIME B650-PLUS offers a total of two M.2 slots. The first supports data transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbit/s via PCIe 5.0, thus enabling faster boot and loading times for operating systems or applications.

PCIe 4.0 slot
Prime B650 motherboards offer PCIe 4.0 slot connectivity for the latest GPUs. The high bandwidth and super-fast transfer speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can effortlessly handle heavy workloads.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C®
A range of USB ports supports high-end rigs with many peripherals, including a rear USB Type-C® port with ultra-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 for transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

Front USB Type-C®
A full range of USB ports supports high-end rigs with many peripherals, including a front-facing USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port that enables data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps.

USB4® support
The PRIME B650-PLUS motherboard offers USB4® support via a Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header. With an ASUS add-in card*, PRIME motherboards can achieve bidirectional speeds of up to 40 Gbps over a single cable while simultaneously providing power for fast charging devices. This card also features daisy-chaining functionality for connecting multiple displays and supports up to two 4K displays.

Aura Sync
A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers complete RGB lighting control with a wide variety of presets for the integrated RGB LEDs, as well as for strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers – all of which can be synchronized with a constantly growing portfolio of Aura-compatible hardware.

Addressable Gen 2 headers
Three addressable Gen 2 headers can detect the number of LEDs on second-generation addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers are also backward compatible with existing Aura RGB devices.

Armoury Crate
Within a single, intuitive user interface, Armoury Crate offers easily customizable Aura Sync RGB settings for every compatible device in your arsenal, as well as controls for an ever-expanding family of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse settings. Armoury Crate also integrates product registration and a news feed, ensuring you don“t miss any updates of interest to the ASUS community.

BIOS FlashBack™
BIOS FlashBack™ is the easiest and safest (UEFI) BIOS update method. Simply place the (UEFI) BIOS file on a FAT32-formatted USB flash drive, insert it into the USB BIOS FlashBack™ port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without installed memory or a CPU.

SafeSlot Core+
SafeSlot Core+ is ASUS“ exclusive PCIe slot reinforced with a one-piece stainless steel brace to protect the slot from damage. The metal cover is securely attached to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the PCB with reinforced solder points to provide a secure foundation for heavy graphics cards.
