It handles a Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 without complaint, has room for two NVMe drives so you are not choosing between fast games storage and a fast boot drive, and the 2.5G LAN plus wireless covers whichever way your network is wired. Micro-ATX keeps it compatible with smaller, cheaper cases, which matters when shipping a full tower across the country. It is a board you install, update the BIOS on once, and then forget about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBe clear about the limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower delivery is sized for six and eight core parts. A Ryzen 9 will run, but if your workload is hours of all-core rendering you want a board with a heavier VRM and better heatsinking. There is no PCIe 5.0 here for either graphics or storage, so Gen5 NVMe buyers should look at B850 or X870. The Micro-ATX layout also limits you on expansion cards and rear ports. If you need a capture card alongside a sound card, or a stack of USB devices, a full ATX board is the better foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended VRM heatsinks for stable sustained power delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Armor reinforcement on the primary graphics slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 Shield Frozr thermal solution on the primary NVMe slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5G LAN and integrated Wi-Fi with Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEZ DEBUG LED and pre-mounted rear I\/O for a faster, cleaner build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: MSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi\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: 4 x DDR5 DIMM, dual channel, up to 256GB, AMD EXPO overclocking profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 reinforced slot plus additional PCIe expansion slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: 2 x M.2 slots for PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs, 4 x SATA 6Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: 2.5G LAN with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: 7.1-channel HD audio codec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O: HDMI, DisplayPort, 2.5G LAN, Wi-Fi antenna connectors, audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A rear ports with 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\u003eMSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSATA data cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide and driver media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy MSI?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMSI's Gaming Plus boards exist to remove the guesswork from a mid-range build, with mature BIOS support across the whole AM5 CPU range.
