ASRock B650M PG Lightning WiFi AMD motherboard

Socket AM5 DDR5 motherboard for Ryzen 7000 and 8000

The ASRock B650M PG Lightning WiFi is a micro ATX board built around the AMD B650 chipset. It accepts Ryzen 7000 and 8000 series processors in the AM5 socket. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 192 GB of unbuffered memory, with ECC modules operating in non-ECC mode.

Check CPU cooler clearance

Verify that your chosen AM5 cooler fits the micro ATX layout and does not block the first PCIe x16 slot. Confirm your power supply provides the required 8-pin EPS connector for the CPU and a 24-pin ATX connector for the board. Ensure the case has a USB 3.2 Gen 1 header for the front-panel Type-C port.

Micro ATX form factor with 2.5 GbE and Wi-Fi 6E

The board measures to the micro ATX standard and uses a 6-layer PCB with solid capacitors. Rear I/O includes HDMI, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, two USB 3.2 Gen 1, four USB 2.0, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.2. Internal headers add another USB-C 3.2 Gen 1, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports. Four SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports and three M.2 slots — one Hyper, one Blazing — handle storage.
