Extreme Overclocking Performance

DDR5 EXPO & XMP Support

Derived from the “built for stable and reliable” design concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. All B650E motherboards are built with 8-layer and premium low-loss materials. By enabling the pre-tested profiles, enthusiasts can enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance up to 7600MHz and beyond. Make sure the memory modules are AMD EXPO™/ Intel® XMP capable, and overclocking can be made affordable, satisfying, and absolutely no sweat at all.

* Certain risks are involved with memory overclocking, and it may affect your system’s stability. Please realise that overclocking should be done at your own risk and expense. EXPO/XMP profile support may vary by different system configurations, memory modules, and motherboard models. Please refer to Memory QVL for the completed support list.

Blazing OC Tuner

When the CPU current hits the threshold, the Blazing OC Tuner allows the AM5 CPU to switch between OC mode and PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) mode. Anything above the current threshold will engage manual OC mode; if it is below the current threshold, it will engage Precision Boost Overdrive mode. This idea is to combine overclocking on all cores and automatic boost on a single core to get the best performance out of your CPU. There is no need to enter BIOS to setup up, you can modify all the settings on time under OS.

AMD PBO Technology

PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) is an automatic performance-maximising technology that can improve your PC’s performance by raising clock speeds based on the conditions inside your PC. AMD’s processors are equipped with intelligent thermal sensors designed to analyse conditions inside your PC and make the “go faster” decision as often as possible. Please ensure system cooling is sufficient before enabling PBO.

DDR5 Memory with Protection Circuit

Reinforced DIMM Slot

The reinforced DIMM slot is surface mounted onto the motherboard to give better physical strength as well as a more stable memory signal. With this superior revolutionary design, it is able to dramatically overclock the DRAM module up to insane frequency.

DIY Friendly Design

Due to the unique electrical architecture of DDR5 DIMMs, there’s a high risk of damaging the memory module if AC power isn’t disconnected properly during removal or installation. To prevent this, ASRock has implemented a trouble-free protection circuit on every DDR5 motherboard, which lowers the risk of damaging your memory module.

POLYCHROME RGB

In addition to the built-in RGB illumination, it also features onboard RGB headers and an addressable RGB header that allow the motherboard to be connected to compatible LED devices such as strips, CPU fans, coolers, chassis, and so on. Users may also synchronise RGB LED devices across the Polychrome RGB Sync-certified accessories to create their own unique lighting effects.

*The addressable RGB LED header supports the WS2812B addressable RGB LED strip (5V/Data/GND), which has a maximum power rating of 3A (5V), a maximum of 80 LEDs, and a length of 2 metres.
*The RGB LED header supports a standard 5050 RGB LED strip (12V/G/R/B) with a maximum power rating of 3A (12V) and a length of 2 meters.
*A Group=Addressable RGB Header, B Group=RGB Header.
