The ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI takes all the essential elements of the latest AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors and combines them with gaming-ready features and proven durability. With military-grade components, an improved power solution and a comprehensive cooling system, this motherboard exceeds all expectations and delivers rock-solid and stable performance for gaming marathons. TUF GAMING motherboards are also rigorously tested to ensure they can withstand conditions where others might fail. Aesthetically, this model features sturdy black and geometric design elements that reflect the reliability and stability of the TUF GAMING series.

DDR5 OC 6400
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of TUF GAMING motherboards. The TUF GAMING B650 motherboards let you 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 out.

PCIe 5.0 support
The TUF GAMING B650 motherboards also feature a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for the fastest data transfers of up to 128Gbps* and all M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest speeds available.

Cooler by design
1. Enlarged VRM heatsink
The large surface area of this heatsink covers the VRMs and coils to improve heat dissipation.

2. Optimized M.2 heatsink design
All M.2 slots have their own heat sinks that keep the M.2 SSDs at optimal operating temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

Multiple temperature sources
Each header can be set to monitor and respond to three user-configurable temperature sensors to provide load-dependent cooling. All settings can be easily managed with Fan Xpert 4 or via the UEFI.

AIO water cooling
An integrated AiO system allows full control of PWM or DC water pumps, making it perfect for individual or standalone cooling systems.

Intelligent fan protection
A special integrated circuit protects each fan connector from excessive heat and electrical currents.

4-pin PWM/DC fan connector
All onboard fan connectors support automatic detection of PWM or DC fans.

CPU performance boost
AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) increases the CPU“s power and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD“s algorithm can take advantage of the motherboard“s robust power supply to increase performance even further.

All-round energy efficiency
The power saving feature includes various settings that allow you to optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable CPU power limiting, dim Aura lighting, and set the fan profile to a power saving mode. You can also toggle the power plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.

TUF Gaming Alliance
The TUF GAMING Alliance is a collaboration between ASUS and trusted PC component brands to ensure compatibility across a wide range of parts such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kits and more. With new partnerships and components being added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance will grow even stronger.

SafeSlot Core+ & SafeDIMM
SafeSlot Core+ is a reinforced metal shroud that is added to a PCIe slot to securely install a card. The robust ASUS SafeDIMM shrouds support and protect memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, allowing you to deploy your modules quickly, precisely and safely.

ESD protection devices
ESD protection devices extend the life of components and prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge. They provide protection for air discharges up to +/- 10 kV and contact discharges up to +/- 6 kV, exceeding the corresponding industry standards of +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV. Surface-mount TVS diodes in a dual inline package protect your PC from power surges.

M.2 Q Latch
The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without special tools. The design uses a simple locking mechanism to secure the M.2 SSD, so screws are required.

Removable captive screws
Specialized M.2 slot screws reduce the risk of dropping or losing a screw anywhere in your case when removing the M.2 heatsink.

Q LED
With built-in Q-LED troubleshooting lights, PC builders can quickly determine whether key components - CPU, memory, graphics card, drives - are functioning normally during startup.

WiFi 6
The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and increases the theoretical peak bandwidth to an incredible 1.2 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it is optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Combine your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully exploit the networking potential of WiFi 6.

2.5Gb Ethernet
Built-in 2.5Gb Ethernet supercharges your LAN connection with up to 2.5x bandwidth improvement. If you“re using your existing LAN cable, you can take advantage of this network upgrade to experience smoother, lag-free gaming, instantly stream high-resolution videos, and enjoy faster file transfers.

Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation
This powerful, ASUS-exclusive utility leverages an extensive deep learning database to reduce microphone background noise* and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noise are removed so you can hear and be heard with perfect clarity while gaming or making calls.

Realtek 7.1 surround sound
The unique audio codec, developed in close collaboration with Realtek for the TUF GAMING B650 motherboards, offers an unprecedented 108 dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line-out and an SNR of 103 dB for the line-in, enabling pristine audio quality .

Addressable Gen 2 RGB header
Three addressable Gen 2 RGB headers support up to 500 LEDs on Gen 2 RGB devices and allow Aura Sync to automatically adjust lighting effects throughout your system. The new headers also provide full backwards compatibility with existing Aura Sync devices.
