• Next-Gen M.2 Support: PCIe® 5.0 M.2 slot cooled by a large heatsink to maximize performance and an additional PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot for more storage
• Abundant Connectivity: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C® port and seven additional USB ports, PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot, and HDMI® 2.1
• High-Performance Networking: On-board WiFi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth® 5.2, and Intel® 2.5G Ethernet with ASUS LANGuard
• Intelligent Control: ASUS-exclusive, AI Networking, and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation to simplify setup and improve performance
• Immersive Gaming Audio: ALC4080 with Savitech SV3H712 amplifier, along with DTS® Sound Unbound and Sonic Studio III
• Unmatched Personalization: ASUS-exclusive Aura Sync RGB lighting, including one RGB header and one addressable Gen 2 header
• DIY Friendly Design: M.2 Q-Latch, Pre-mounted I/O shield and BIOS FlashBack™ button, and FlexKey button

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.

M.2 Q-LATCH

The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly eliminate traditional screws.

BIOS FLASHBACK BUTTON

BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.

FLEXKEY BUTTON

At its default, FlexKey functions as a system reset button, but it can also be easily reassigned to quickly activate Safe Boot or enter the BIOS.

Q-LED

Four onboard LEDs indicate power status and identify problems with CPU, memory, graphics card, or boot device for quick diagnosis.

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.

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.

LEADING CONNECTIVITY

Despite its tiny desktop footprint, the Strix B650E-I stands tall in the connectivity department, with beyond-Gigabit tethered and wireless networking options, and gigantic audio quality via the enhanced SupremeFX solution.

WIFI 6E

Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments.

Intel 2.5G Ethernet

Low-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.

SUPREMEFX

ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix B650E-I implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.

AUDIO-LINE SHIELDING

A specially-designed circuit separation reduces electromagnetic interference from the motherboard and attached devices for cleaner audio.

SAVITECH SV3H712 AMPLIFIER

The integrated Savitech amplifier greatly improves THD+N performance from 72 dB to 83 dB to deliver pristine audio quality.

PREMIUM AUDIO CAPACITORS

High-quality components produce a warmer, more natural sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

PLAY IN STYLE

The understated black shrouds and PCB of the Strix B650-I make it a solid foundation for nearly any rig, especially when coordinated with the vast range of offerings in the ROG ecosystem.

UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX

The mesh-like texture on the VRM cooling array and the unidirectional brush lines may seem minimalist by Strix standards, but the B650E-I is far from modest, proudly displaying a metallic ROG eye on the I/O shroud and subtle pink accents for a simple, unique flavor.

COOLER COMPATIBILITY

The ROG Strix B650E-I bears the same mounting hole alignment as AM4 platforms, so it is backward compatible with many existing coolers, including all AIO offerings from ASUS and ROG.

THE ROG STRIX ECOSYSTEM AWAITS

Level up your game with ROG Strix. Enjoy complementary aesthetics, control, and compatibility across AIO coolers, cases, peripherals, and much more. ROG offers more choices than any other brand.

SOFTWARE UTILITIES

Customize your rig through a suite of intuitive software and firmware utilities that let you maximize performance and tweak your experience to your liking.

TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION

This utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce over 5 million types of background noise from incoming or outgoing audio, helping ensure crystal-clear communication in games or calls.

AIDA64

The ROG Strix B650E-I includes a sixty-day AIDA64 Extreme subscription, a tool that provides detailed information about hardware and software, as well as benchmarks to measure the performance of the entire system or individual components. AIDA64 Extreme includes a monitoring and diagnostics feature to detect and prevent hardware issues. All vital system sensors can be tracked in real time, allowing voltage readings, fan speeds, and temperature information to be displayed on the desktop or sent to dedicated displays or to the LCD panels of ROG AIO liquid coolers

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as more comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

AI SUITE 3

The dashboard-style control panel of AI Suite 3 lets you fine-tune your system with ease. Get the best balance between performance, cooling, stability, and efficiency via simple and intuitive interfaces.

ARMOURY CRATE

Armoury Crate is a software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products, making it easy to tune the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate helps you customize RGB lighting and effects for compatible devices and synchronize them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme across your system. In addition, Armoury Crate's Fan Xpert4 tool provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps and all-in-one (AIO) coolers.
