Socket AM5 Platform

This ATX motherboard uses the AMD B650 chipset and the AM5 socket to support Ryzen 7000 series processors. It targets builders who want a modern DDR5 platform with strong connectivity for gaming or productivity work.

Memory And Storage Headroom

Four DDR5 slots accept up to 128 GB total with a 32 GB per DIMM limit and speeds up to 6600 MT/s when overclocked. One M.2 socket runs at PCIe 5.0 x4 and a second at PCIe 4.0 x4 for fast NVMe drives, while four SATA ports handle additional storage.

Thermals And Power Delivery

A 14+2+1 phase digital VRM with 70 A power stages sits on an 8-layer 2X copper PCB and is cooled by a 6 mm heatpipe and fully covered MOSFET heatsinks. An M.2 thermal guard and PCIe armor keep key components at stable temperatures during sustained loads.

Questions about this item

Can I reuse my current DDR5 modules rated at 6000 MHz with the B650 AORUS ELITE AX?

Yes, the board supports DDR5 speeds from 4800 up to 6600 MHz, so 6000 MHz modules will run at their rated frequency when EXPO or XMP is enabled.

How do I confirm the 2.5 GbE LAN and WiFi 6E are active after first boot?

Open Device Manager in Windows; the Intel 2.5 GbE controller and WiFi 6E adapter should appear without error codes, and the WiFi tray icon will show available 6 GHz networks.

What comes in the box and which items must be purchased separately?

The motherboard, I/O shield, SATA cables, M.2 screws, WiFi antennas and documentation are included; CPU, DDR5 memory, M.2 SSDs, graphics card and power supply are not.
