Description
The ASRock B650M PG Lightning motherboard, based on the AMD B650 chipset, is compatible with AMD Ryzen 7000, AMD Ryzen 8000, and AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. This Micro-ATX form-factor model is designed for building gaming or multipurpose PCs in compact cases. Operating system installation and PC upgrades are simplified by the ASRock Auto Driver Installer. The board supports 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. ASRock Polychrome SYNC software is used to synchronize the lighting of system components.
The ASRock B650M PG Lightning board is equipped with 4 DDR5 slots supporting up to 256 GB of RAM. Support for AMD EXPO and Intel XMP overclocking technologies is available. Fans of resource-intensive video games will benefit from support for AMD CrossFire multi-GPU configurations. The PCIe x16 slots operate in x16 and x4 modes.
A key advantage of the motherboard is the ability to install 3 high-speed NVMe solid-state drives. A 2.5 Gbps Realtek RTL8125BG adapter is used for wired connections to local networks and the Internet. Integrated audio format is 7.1 channel.
