Power Design

Sporting 12+2 power stages and 8+4 pin ProCool power connectors, the ROG STRIX can deliver reliable and stable performance for your components. Hi-end chokes and capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures while the eight-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around voltage regulators and offer greater overclocking headroom.

Cooling Capabilities

Covering the power solution are two thick heat sinks with strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while powering high-performance Ryzen 7000 Series processors. High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heat sinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures. M.2 heat sinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability. CPU and chassis headers also allow you to leverage various liquid and air-cooling components for optimal performance.

Next-Gen M.2 Support

Experience lightning-fast performance with PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 slots for M.2 storage drives, enhancing application loading and general system performance. Each of the M.2 SSD slots are equipped with integrated heat sinks to help support and keep your storage drives cool.

USB Ports

An array of back panel USB ports allows you to plug in your most useful and essential devices with ease. USB-A 2.0 ports offer support for keyboards and mice while the USB-A and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports provide you with 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds, suitable for audio interfaces and external storage drives. For even greater performance, a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port offers up to 20 Gb/s speeds.

Networking

Onboard Wi-Fi 6E technology takes advantage of the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments. Low-latency gaming, speedy file transfers, and high-resolution video streaming are among the many perks of onboard Intel 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.

Audio

ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.

DIY-Designed

ASUS developed the ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI to include a wide variety of integrated improvements designed to ease the installation process of the motherboard as well as components. PCIe Slot Q-Release and M.2 Q-Latch enable easy installation and removal of GPUs and solid-state drives. Clear CMOS internal jumper and BIOS Flashback button offers easy diagnosis and upgrading of the hardware's firmware.

Aura Sync

ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.

Software Utilities

A suite of integrated software utilities enables you to optimize your system. Two-way AI Noise Cancelation uses artificial intelligence to adjust incoming and outcoming audio for a clear sound. AI Networking GameFirst VI maximizes networking performance by allocating bandwidth to your system for better connectivity. UEFI BIOS, AI Suite 3, Sonic Studio III, DTS Sound Unbound, Armoury Crate suite, and a sixty-day AIDA64 Extreme subscription all offer additional options and settings so you can easily adjust your system to your liking.
