Description

Description

The Asus ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming Wi-Fi motherboard is primarily aimed at users looking for a professional solution for their computer, such as streamers, creators, and gamers who want a motherboard with rich features to meet their demands.

This is a mini-ITX motherboard, ideal for small spaces and systems that require a compact size but with enough power to support the most demanding applications and games. Additionally, the presence of Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth is an added advantage for users who need wireless connectivity to the internet or other devices.

M.2 Q-Latch

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

BIOS FlashBack

BIOS FlashBack is a safe and simple way to update the BIOS. Just place the (UEFI) BIOS file on a FAT32-formatted USB stick, connect it to the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can be made even without memory or CPU installed.

FlexKey

By default, the 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 built-in LED indicators show the power status and detect issues with the 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 provide unlimited bandwidth for the fastest available SSDs and graphics cards. The x16 expansion slot is ready for Gen 5 and protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket. The integrated M.2 slot is also oriented for PCIe 5.0, allowing for stunning read and write speeds of 16 GB/s, while the other slot still delivers impressive 8 GB/s transfers through the PCIe 4.0 interface.

DDR5 Memory

For those who want to surpass the stock DDR5 speeds, the ROG Strix B650E-I is prepared and ready thanks to the extensive support of AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO). Experienced users can further tune the performance through the extensive range of settings in the UEFI.

Network

  • The built-in WiFi 6E technology leverages the new available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultra-fast performance and better performance in dense wireless environments.
  • The antenna features two integrated transmitters and receivers to enable faster transmission speeds and supports the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands.
  • Low-latency gaming, fast file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many advantages of the built-in Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet.

ROG SupremeFX

ROG SupremeFX is a unique combination of hardware and software technologies that provide superior sound. The Strix B650E-I implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz on all channels. The front panel output is transmitted through the integrated Savitech amplifier, which can drive high-fidelity audio to a wide variety of speakers and headphones.

Play with Style

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

Armoury Crate

Armoury Crate is a software utility designed to provide you with centralized control of supported gaming products, making it easy to set up the appearance and atmosphere 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 system throughout your setup. Additionally, Armoury Crate's Fan Xpert4 tool provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps, and all-in-one (AIO) coolers.

You can also use Armoury Crate to download drivers, software, and user manuals, register products, and take advantage of a dedicated news feed that connects you to ASUS's global gaming community.

Bios Flashback

Ability to update the BIOS without requiring a CPU and RAM installed on the motherboard. This advanced feature is intended for experienced users and is useful for supporting newer processors on older motherboards. Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the process, as it may vary between manufacturers.

For example, if you want to install a Ryzen 5000 series processor on a chipset that only supports it after a BIOS upgrade, BIOS Flashback can be used without having an older processor on the motherboard.

    It has coil whine when the CPU is idle. Many people have reported this problem from the beginning. The noise is not crazy, but if I knew it before I bought it, I would have gone for another one.
