8 Layer PCB design

The 8 Layer PCB provides stable signal traces and power shapes delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting system while delivering ultimate performance without any compromise.

PCIe 5.0 + Surface-Mount Tech

Compared to conventional DIP-style PCIe slots, the SMT-type PCIe slot improves signal flow and maximizes stability under high speed, a key breakthrough to fully support the lighting speed of the latest PCIe 5.0 standard.

The latest PCI Express 5.0 is capable of performing a breathtaking bandwidth of 128GBps, ready to unleash the full potential of future high-end graphic cards.

Extreme Overclocking Performance

• DDR5 EXPO & XMP Support- Derived from the built-for-stable and reliable design concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. All B650 motherboards are built with an 8-layer PCB design, enthusiasts can enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance up to 7200MHz and beyond by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are AMD EXPO/ Intel XMP capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying, and absolutely no sweat at all.
• Blazing OC Tuner- The Blazing OC Tuner allows the AM5 CPU to switch between OC mode and PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) mode when the CPU current hits the threshold. Anything above the current threshold will engage manual OC mode; if below the current threshold then will engage Precision Boost Overdrive mode. This idea is to combine overclocking on all cores and automatic boost on a single core to get the best performance out of your CPU. There is no need to enter BIOS to set up, you can modify all the settings on time under OS.
• AMD PBO Technology- PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) is an automatic performance-maximizing technology that can improve your PC performance by raising clock speeds based on the conditions inside your PC, AMD processors are equipped with intelligent thermal sensors designed to analyze conditions inside your PC and make the go faster decision as often as possible, please ensure system cooling is sufficient before enabling PBO.

Nahimic Audio

• Audio That Matters- Whether you are using headphones, a headset, external or internal speakers, via USB, Wi-Fi, analog output, or even HDMI, Nahimic Audio offers you the most engaging listening experience, vibrant with details.
• Enhance Communication Quality- The Powerful algorithms ensure the best noise-free conversation, giving a constant vocal level no matter the distance from your mic. The Nahimic audio engine dynamically clears the sound removes interference noise and lowers the voice variation. The result is better comprehension and less fatigue.
• Sound Tracker- The Sound Tracker is a visual indicator that points out the directions from which predominant sounds are coming. Each sound is properly positioned in 360 on the radar for full immersion during the game.
• Works on any device- Enjoy the vibrant and high-quality Surround Sound on all your favorite audio devices: Jack, USB, Bluetooth, HDMI, S/PDIF. Nahimic is compatible with all of your favorite audio tools and ensures the best sound with any of them. Nahimic measures and improves to optimize our technology and offer you the best experience.
