ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI AM5 ATX Motherboard

The ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI is an ATX motherboard designed for builders who want dependable gaming performance without overcomplicating the setup. It pairs with AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 processors through the AM5 socket, so you can choose the right CPU for everything from competitive online matches to everyday multitasking.

Memory is handled through DDR5 support that reaches 128 GB, giving you the bandwidth needed for modern game engines, streaming software, and large creative workloads. Three M.2 slots let you install fast NVMe drives, and the first slot links to a PCIe 5.0 lane for load times that feel almost instant when launching games or large project files.

Graphics cards and other add-on devices fit easily thanks to a full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and additional expansion options. Around the rear I/O, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port move files at up to 20 Gb/s, which is handy when transferring 4K video captures or backing up a Steam library to an external SSD.

Connectivity stays solid whether you prefer wired or wireless networking. The 2.5G Ethernet jack delivers low-latency performance for eSports titles, while integrated Wi-Fi 6 keeps you flexible if your gaming desk is far from the router. Built-in AI noise cancelation cleans up microphone input, so teammates hear your callouts instead of keyboard clicks or background fans.

To maintain stable thermals, ASUS equips the VRM, M.2 slots, and chipset with dedicated heatsinks. Aura Sync lighting adds a dash of personalization that can match your case fans or GPU accents. The feature set makes this board a practical choice for a first-time builder aiming for a reliable rig, or for an experienced enthusiast who wants a strong yet approachable platform for a long-term system.
