You get the ProArt priorities — dual 2.5GbE for NAS work, plentiful fast storage, sober aesthetics, strong VRM cooling for a Ryzen 9 — on the cheaper B650 chipset. Paired with a Ryzen 7 9700X or Ryzen 9 9950X it makes a genuinely productive workstation, and AM5's long socket life means a CPU upgrade in three years will not require a new board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere B650 draws the line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB650 is not X670E. Total PCIe lane count and chipset USB provisioning are lower, so if you plan on running several high-bandwidth add-in cards plus a full array of NVMe drives simultaneously, you will hit sharing limits. There is no onboard Wi-Fi on this model — budget for a card or a cable. Graphics runs at PCIe 4.0 rather than 5.0, which costs essentially nothing in real games today but is worth knowing. If you want Thunderbolt-class USB4, 10GbE or PCIe 5.0 graphics, the ProArt X870E-Creator is the board to look at instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controllers for fast, redundant network transfers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDDR5 support with AMD EXPO one-click memory tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple M.2 NVMe sockets with pre-fitted heatsinks and Q-Latch mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy VRM heatsinks sized for high-core-count Ryzen 9 processors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C header with high-wattage charging support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS ProArt B650-Creator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD B650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AMD AM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: ATX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 4 x DDR5 DIMM slots, dual channel, up to 192GB, AMD EXPO overclocked profiles supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: PCIe 4.0 x16 primary graphics slot plus additional PCIe x16 and x1 expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: 3 x M.2 NVMe sockets plus four SATA 6Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (no onboard wireless)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: Realtek high-definition audio codec with shielded audio section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, BIOS FlashBack button, dual LAN ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and USB 3.2 Gen 1 rear ports plus front-panel Type-C header\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\u003eASUS ProArt B650-Creator motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x SATA 6Gb\/s cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 Q-Latch package and mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber M.2 backplate pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser manual and driver documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASUS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASUS pitches ProArt at people who need their machine to earn money, which shows in the network and storage provisioning rather than in lighting effects.
