MSI

Short Description of Highlighted Points

• Up-to-date CPU & Socket Compatibility: The AM5 socket and B650 chipset allow you to use current AMD Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 series processors — great for future-proofing your build.

• High-speed DDR5 Memory Support: With four DDR5 slots and support for overclocked speeds up to 7200 MHz+, you’ll get excellent memory bandwidth — ideal for gaming, creation and multitasking.

• Robust Power Delivery & build quality: The 12+2 Duet Rail VRM design and dual 8-pin CPU power connectors show this board is built for stability and higher-end CPUs. The 2-ounce copper, 6-layer PCB ensures better signal integrity and durability.

• Modern Expansion & Storage Options: PCIe 4.0 x16 for graphics cards, PCIe 4.0 for M.2 NVMe SSDs, and four SATA ports for traditional storage give you flexibility. The M.2 heatsink (Shield Frozr) helps keep SSD temps under control.

• Premium Connectivity: Wired 2.5 Gb Ethernet plus Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 give you fast networking and wireless options. The USB Type-C 20 Gbps port and multiple high-speed USB ports make hooking up peripherals and external drives easy.

• Good Audio & Onboard Features: Realtek ALC897 codec provides solid 7.1 channel audio and the “Audio Boost” branding suggests enhanced components for audio fidelity. Debug LEDs, BIOS flash-back and RGB/ARGB headers round out a feature-rich board.

• Thermal / Cooling Enhancements: MOSFETs with high-performance thermal pads and dedicated heatsinks for M.2 drives—these help sustain performance during heavy workloads or gaming.
