Flexibility

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS PRIME series. The PRIME B650 motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximize productivity.
  • CPU Performance Boost - 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.
  • All-Around Energy Efficiency - The Power Saving function contains several settings can easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting, and set the fan profile to a power saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.
  • Flexible Air- and Liquid-Cooling Controls - ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans and all-in-one (AiO) coolers. Whether cooling with air or water, an Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans, AiO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
  • Precise Digital Power Control - The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance.
 
 
 



Cooling
 
Prime B650 series are engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.
  • M.2 Heatsink - The M.2 heatsink is flexible, which can take care of the M.2_1 or M.2_2 slot, warding off throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during sustained transfers. The heatsink is held in place by captive screws.
  • VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pads - VRM heatsinks and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
  • Cooler by Design - Prime B650 series feature comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 2+ software or via the UEFI BIOS.
  • Multiple Temperature Sources - Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
  • AIO Pump Header - A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.
  • Smart Protection - A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent.
  • 4-Pin PWM/DC Fan - Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
 




 
Performance
