ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE

To keep up with the big boys, the ROG Strix B650E-I comes stacked with a beefy power solution and a quiet thermal array, giving it a nice share of headroom to push for faster frequencies. But the speed doesn't stop there: memory, graphics cards, and storage can all be cranked to the max thanks to DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support.

PCIE 5.0

Fully embracing the new standard, the Strix B650E-I offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support to give unfettered bandwidth for the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available. The x16 expansion slot is Gen 5-ready, and is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket. The onboard M.2 slot is also geared for PCIe 5.0, allowing for blistering 16 GB/s read and write speeds, while the other slot delivers still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers over its PCIe 4.0 interface.

OVERCLOCKING

DYNAMIC OC SWITCHER
Lightly-threaded tasks get fantastic uplift using AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), but all-core frequencies can be pushed higher via traditional overclocking. The Dynamic OC Switcher automatically engages PBO or your preferred settings based on the CPU current or temperature, giving you the best of both worlds. Core Flex and PBO Enhancement can also be deployed to work in tandem with the Dynamic OC Switcher and further bolster performance.

CORE FLEX
Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control current, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can let your system run unrestricted during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce power consumption as temperature increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate parameters independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

PBO ENHANCEMENT
AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.

POWER DESIGN

POWER ARCHITECTURE
10 + 2 power stages rated to 70A each deliver ample current in order to drive Ryzen 7000 through any workload with ease.

ALLOY CHOKES AND DURABLE CAPACITORS
Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.

TEN-LAYER PCB
A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

DDR5 STRENGTH

For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the ROG Strix B650E-I is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.

AEMP

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized profiles with higher frequency and tighter timings that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

COOLING

VRM COOLING ARRAY
Substantial heatsinks cover the power solution, bolstered by a quiet thermal system that intakes from the core and outputs heat upwards through a ventilated top, so the VRM stays cool even in air-restricted systems.

HIGH-CONDUCTIVITY THERMAL PADS
High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.

M.2 HEATSINK
A large heatsink covers the NVME SSD slot to help keep your drive optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

CPU FAN HEADER
A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers provides easy access to CPU coolers.

AIO PUMP FAN HEADER
A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.

4-PIN FAN HEADER
The chassis fan header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
