MSI B650M AMD Micro-ATX Motherboard: Enhanced Cooling Technology for Enthusiasts and Casual Users Alike!

The MSI B650M AMD Micro-ATX Motherboard is great for everyday users and computer fans. It has lots of cool features and ways to make it your own. It’s a strong starting point for creating fast and powerful computers.

PRO B650M-B

PRO B650M-B is designed with tons of flexible tools and a DDR5 memory version.

Chipset Heatsink

The chipset heatsink is designed to reduce dust and noise and is also capable of maintaining high PCH efficiency.

Control in One Click

The MSI B650M motherboard helps you control how fast and cool your computer’s fans run. It’s easy to use and lets you pick four different heat levels that change the fan speeds by themselves.

Frozr AI Cooling

Detecting CPU and GPU temperatures and automatically adjusting the fan duty of system fans to a proper value by adopting MSI AI ENGINE.

Auto-detect your fan.

MSI fan headers automatically detect fans running in DC or PWM mode for optimal tuning of fan speeds and silence. Hysteresis also makes your fans spin up fluently to make sure your system stays silent, no matter what.

Core Boost

Core Boost technology combines MSI’s premium layout and optimized power design, which allows for faster and undistorted current delivery to the CPU at pin-point precision. Not only supports multi-core CPUs but also creates the perfect conditions for your CPU overclocking.

Performance Switch

Performance Switch combines the benefits of AMD’s default PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) and MSI’s own OC settings, providing higher CPU performance in both single-core and multi-core statuses. This is for users who dare to achieve maximum performance.

PBO Thermal Point

MSI PBO Thermal profiles are setting the maximum CPU temperature at 85°C, 75°C, and 65°C levels. With the thermal profiles, the CPU operates at a lower voltage and temperature while maintaining the same performance.

Config TDP

Config TDP is designed to provide ECO Mode (65W) or different TDP (PPT, TDC, or EDC) settings for advanced users. By offering several profiles for different TDP settings in Click BIOS 5, Config TDP makes setting TDP profiles easier, and you don’t need to modify settings manually for each TDP.

Driver Utility Installer

Once connected to the internet, MSI Driver Utility Installer will detect and present suitable drivers and utilities automatically, which you can download and install with just a few clicks.

XL Clip

The enlarged PCI-E clip helps you swap or remove your devices more easily. Keep the PCI-E slot stronger and safer.

EZ Debug LED

Onboard LEDs will indicate the source of the problem, so you know exactly where to look to get up and running again.

Keep Out Zone

MSI motherboard circuitry ensures the case standoff keep-out zones are pure and clean. Moreover, protective paint is printed around each screw hole to prevent parts from being scratched or damaged by the motherboard.

Double ESD Protection

Double ESD protection doubles up the grounding layer around the mounting holes, preventing static discharge surges from damaging the motherboard.

Lightning Gen 4 PCI-E

MSI Lightning Gen 4 PCI-E represents the bandwidth of an x16 interface at 64 GB/s, which has doubled compared to its previous generation.

Reinforced, heavy-soldered connections

MSI PCI Express Steel Armor slots are secured to the motherboard with extra solder points and support the weight of heavy graphics cards. When every advantage in games counts, steel armor shields the point of contact from electromagnetic interference.

Fast and Future-Ready Storage

MSI PRO series motherboards support all the latest storage standards, which allows users to connect to any ultra-fast storage device. Start games faster, load levels faster, and have a real advantage over your enemies.

Latest DDR5 Memory with SMT Slot

A huge step in DDR performance enhancement with the latest DDR5 memory. With a dedicated SMT welding process and MSI Memory Boost technology, MSI PRO Series motherboards are ready to deliver world-class memory performance.

Easy Overclocking with an EXPO Profile

MSI conducts thorough memory testing with the most popular memory brands under extreme conditions to ensure your system runs stable no matter what. It is easy to enable an EXPO profile with auto-power settings to get the best memory speed and stability.

MSI Center

MSI’s brand new MSI Center unifies a suite of MSI software utilities into a single centralized application. Take control of advanced motherboard features and unleash endless possibilities.

Exclusive UI for AIDA64 Extreme

MSI motherboards provide a 60-day free trial of AIDA64 Extreme (MSI Edition). AIDA64 Extreme is an almighty application for system information, diagnostics, and benchmarks. With the application, you can monitor the detailed hardware and software information on your PC and save it to a file in multiple formats, such as CSV and HTML.

Click Bios 5

Get more from a loaded BIOS designed for ease of use. Fine-tune the motherboard for gaming performance, efficiency, or overclocking world records!

Extend your RGB experience with ease.

Add more color if you want! The Mystic Light Extension pin header provides an intuitive way to control additional RGB strips and other RGB peripherals added to a system without needing a separate RGB controller.
