Description

Power and cooling that hold up under load

The processor is fed by a 12+2+2 phase digital VRM, and heatsinks keep the power stages and the first M.2 drive cool. The first M.2 slot also takes a long 25110 SSD. Smart Fan 6 reads several temperature sensors and can stop fans at low load, while EZ-Latch releases the graphics card from its slot with a single press.

Who this motherboard is for

Builders of an AM5 PC with a wired network connection who do not need on-board Wi-Fi. Four memory slots, three M.2 slots and four SATA ports leave room to expand, and the PS/2 port and serial port header help with older peripherals. The variant with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth is the B650 EAGLE AX.

Questions & answers

Which processors does this motherboard support?

It has an AM5 socket, and the manufacturer lists AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors. AM4 processors do not fit this socket.

Can the BIOS be updated without a processor?

Yes, Q-Flash Plus updates the BIOS without a processor, memory or graphics card installed. Whether a given processor needs a newer BIOS, the manufacturer does not specify.

Can I connect a monitor directly to the board?

Yes, through HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, provided the processor has integrated graphics. With a graphics card, the monitor connects to the card.
