ASROCK B650E Phantom Gaming Riptide Wifi DDR5 AMD Motherboard

The ASRock B650E Phantom Gaming Riptide WiFi is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the AMD B650E chipset for AMD Socket AM5, supporting AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors. It measures 12.0 in x 9.6 in (30.5 cm x 24.4 cm) and is constructed on an 8-layer, server-grade low-loss PCB designed to maintain signal integrity across high-speed interfaces including PCIe 5.0. Power delivery is handled by a 14+2+1 phase design using Smart Power Stage (SPS) Dr.MOS components rated at 60A per phase, providing stable current and temperature monitoring across each power phase for demanding workloads and overclocking scenarios. For memory, the board provides four DDR5 DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration supporting up to 128 GB of non-ECC unbuffered DDR5. Rated speeds reach 6600+ MHz with overclocking enabled, and the board supports both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP memory profiles. Storage options include one Blazing M.2 slot (PCIe Gen5 x4, up to 128 Gb/s), one Hyper M.2 slot (PCIe Gen4 x4, up to 64 Gb/s), and one M.2 slot supporting PCIe Gen3 x2 or SATA3. Four SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports are also available (two native, two via ASMedia ASM1061 controller). RAID 0 and RAID 1 are supported for SATA devices; RAID 0, 1, and 10 are available for NVMe devices. Expansion slots include one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot (CPU-direct, x16 mode, with 15µ gold contacts), one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (x4 mode), and one PCIe 4.0 x1 slot from the chipset. Connectivity is anchored by a Killer E3100G 2.5 Gigabit LAN controller (10/100/1000/2500 Mb/s) and an 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E module with dual-band 2x2 MU-MIMO and extended 6 GHz band support (Windows 11, 6 GHz-compatible router required), plus Bluetooth. Display output is provided by one HDMI 2.1 port supporting HDR, HDCP 2.3, and resolutions up to 4K at 120Hz. Audio is delivered by a Realtek ALC897 codec supporting 7.1-channel HD audio with Nahimic Audio software enhancement. USB connectivity spans one USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C front header (20 Gb/s), one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C rear port (10 Gb/s), one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A rear port (10 Gb/s), four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports (two rear, two front), and nine USB 2.0 ports (six rear, three front). All USB ports include ESD protection. Additional headers include one RGB LED header, three addressable LED headers, one Thunderbolt AIC connector (5-pin, compatible with ASRock Thunderbolt 4 AIC cards), a BIOS Flashback button, and an ASRock Post Status Checker for diagnostics. Fan headers include one CPU fan connector and five chassis/pump connectors with Smart Fan Speed Control.
