Gamers are not the only people out there looking at everything that the new AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series processors have to offer. For creative professionals—or for anyone who aspires to take their talents in CGI, filmmaking, engineering or design to the next level—the ProArt B650-Creator offers great connectivity and sophisticated style. There is also a wide range of ASUS Prime motherboards that offer everything users need to build a solid PC with excellent features and performance.
ASUS ROG Strix
The ROG Strix line takes the high-end ROG DNA and distills it into gaming-first motherboards that are ready for all types of builds, from fully decked-out ATX gaming rigs to compact Mini-ITX machines. Whichever ROG Strix board one chooses, one will find high-end circuitry, convenient design elements, and features built to boost gaming experience. Integrated I/O shields ease the installation process and look gorgeous behind a case’s side window. High-end VRMs stand ready to drive the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors, while Intel-powered 2.5 Gb Ethernet and WiFi 6E offer cutting-edge networking. And industry-leading ASUS gaming audio immerses users like never before with an ALC4080 codec and a Savitech SV3H712 amplifier.
For those interested in tuning and tweaking their new AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processor for maximum performance, the ROG Strix models are best equipped for overclocking, out of all of the ASUS B650E and B650 motherboards. A quick trip into the UEFI BIOS is all it takes to boost light-load clocks through AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) — a move that enhances overall system responsiveness for most builders. For more manual control over CPU performance, ASUS primed the ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi and ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi to satisfy the thirst for pushing a processor to its limits. Both offer particularly robust power solutions and access to the Dynamic OC Switcher and Core Flex tools.
ASUS TUF Gaming motherboards
If a user’s top priorities for a motherboard are reliable operation, sensible good looks and essential gaming performance, then the TUF Gaming lineup is an ideal option. ASUS designed these boards to give gamers high-quality options that are ready to go the distance.
TUF Gaming B650 motherboards offer a powerful value proposition for a next-gen AMD Ryzen gaming build. Available in either ATX or micro-ATX form factors, these boards offer DDR5 support, a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for blazing-fast storage and an onboard USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 USB Type-C port for fast, versatile connectivity. High-bandwidth 2.5 Gbps Ethernet comes standard, and WiFi 6 is available for those who need it.
To complement a TUF Gaming motherboard with an array of components and peripherals with the same aesthetic, check out the TUF Gaming Alliance. This collaboration between ASUS and trusted PC component brands helps ensure compatibility across a wide range of parts, such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kits and more. With new partnerships and components being added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance will continue to grow even stronger.
ASUS ProArt
Gamers are not the only ones planning new builds around AMD’s latest Ryzen CPUs. Creative professionals like engineers, designers, videographers, animators, and game developers all tend to have workflows ready to take full advantage of multicore CPUs, high-bandwidth DDR5 RAM, and speedy PCIe 5.0 storage. For these creators and more, ProArt motherboards provide superb connectivity, plentiful high-speed storage options and professional style.
The ProArt B650-Creator motherboard carries on that tradition with a feature set that provides incredible value for a budget-conscious creative build. DDR5 support takes advantage of the raw bandwidth provided by the latest high-end kits, and a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot allows users to enjoy the dizzying transfer rates of a cutting-edge drive.
For a motherboard that can harness more than one graphics card, the ProArt B650-Creator has what users need. Its twin PCIe 4.0 x16 slots can operate in an x8/x8 configuration to take full advantage of a pair of graphics cards.
Versatile connectivity is a must for any creative workstation, so the ProArt B650-Creator includes a connector for a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port—and it is wired for Quick Charge 4+ to conveniently and speedily recharge external devices. ASUS has also wired one of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports on the rear I/O panel to support an alternate mode that provides DisplayPort 1.4 output up to 8K/60Hz. Whether users want to use the port for high-speed 10 Gbps file transfers or for connecting an additional high-resolution display, the choice is theirs.
ASUS Prime
The ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, and ProArt families serve gamers and power users ready to extract every last drop of performance from their systems. While Prime motherboards offer many of the same enthusiast-grade features as the others, they are also an excellent solution for work and everyday computing. For anyone building a budget-friendly PC that melds all-around capability and subtle style, a Prime board is the ideal choice.
For B650, ASUS offers Prime motherboards in four variations. Pick between the ATX and micro-ATX form factors and make a judgment call regarding wireless networking. Regardless, one will enjoy high-speed wired networking through a Realtek 2.5Gbps Ethernet controller, a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and DDR5 support.
Prime B650 motherboards also make it easy for users to upgrade their processor down the road. Through BIOS FlashBack™, they can quickly update board firmware with nothing more than a power supply and a USB flash drive.
