Two slots is not the handicap it sounds like either, since a single 2x16GB or 2x32GB kit in two slots often clocks higher and more stably than four populated slots. For a 1080p or 1440p gaming build around a Ryzen 5 7600 or 9600X, this board puts the money where it counts and leaves budget for the graphics card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe compromises are real\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo DIMM slots means your only memory upgrade path is throwing away the kit you own and buying a bigger one. There is no Wi-Fi on board, the LAN is Gigabit rather than 2.5 Gigabit, and the PCIe slot is 4.0 rather than 5.0. Storage is limited compared with pricier B650 boards, and the VRM, while adequate for six and eight-core Ryzen parts, is not the one to pair with a Ryzen 9 under sustained rendering loads. If you want four slots, faster networking or built-in Wi-Fi, step up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid power design with alloy chokes and a heatsinked VRM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlazing M.2 socket for high-speed PCIe NVMe SSDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull EXPO memory profile support unlocked by the B650 chipset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASRock Full Spike Protection on USB, LAN and audio ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASRock Instant Flash and BIOS Flashback for CPU-free firmware updates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASRock B650M-HDV\/M.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD B650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AMD Socket AM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: Micro-ATX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 2 x DDR5 DIMM slots, dual channel, up to 96GB with AMD EXPO and manual overclocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 graphics slot plus a PCIe x1 slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: 2 x M.2 sockets for PCIe NVMe SSDs and 4 x SATA 6Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: Gigabit Ethernet (no on-board wireless)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: Realtek 7.1 channel HD audio codec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: HDMI, DisplayPort, USB Type-C, LAN and 3-jack audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 10Gbps Type-C, USB 5Gbps and USB 2.0 Type-A ports, plus front panel USB headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASRock B650M-HDV\/M.2 motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x SATA 6Gb\/s cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 mounting screws and standoffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O shield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick installation guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASRock?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASRock's HDV boards are deliberately unglamorous, built to give you the chipset you actually need rather than trim you can see.
