Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS B650 series. B650M-AYW WIFI motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximize productivity.
M.2 Heatsink
M.2 heatsink wards off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers. The heatsink is held in place by captive screws, and these removable captive screws help reduce risk of drops or loss during heatsink removal.
VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pads
VRM heatsink and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chocks for better cooling performance.
Multiple Temperature Sources
Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
Six-Layer PCB Design
Multiple PCB layers optimize heat management for critical components to keep them at their optimal operating temperatures.
PERFORMANCE
The ASUS B650 series is built to handle the high core counts and bandwidth demands of AMD processors. ASUS B650 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible data transfer options.
DDR5 Performance Enhancement
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ASUS B650 series motherboards. With the B650M-AYW WIFI, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, whether they’re from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.
ASUS OptiMem II
Revisions to the motherboard’s trace routing provide the latest processors with unrestricted access to memory bandwidth. ASUS OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across different PCB layers to reduce vias and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.
PCIe 5.0 M.2 Support
B650M-AYW WIFI offers a total of two M.2 slots, the first one supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
PCIe 4.0 Slot
B650M-AYW WIFI offers PCIe 4.0 slot connectivity for the GPUs. The wide bandwidth and superfast transmission speeds allow you to create feature-rich builds that can handle high loads effortlessly.
USB 10Gbps Type-A
A batch of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including two rear USB Type-A connectors with fast USB 10Gbps for transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Front USB Type-C
A full complement of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB 5Gbps Type-C® connector that provides data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.
WiFi 6
The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 1.2Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it’s optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6.
