Overview
The ASRock B650E Steel Legend WiFi is an ATX form factor motherboard built on the AMD B650E chipset, designed for AMD Socket AM5 and compatible with Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors. Its 16+2+1 power phase design delivers up to 60A per phase via Smart Power Stages (SPS), ensuring stable and consistent power delivery under sustained workloads. Memory support spans four DDR5 DIMM slots in dual-channel configuration, accommodating non-ECC unbuffered modules up to a maximum capacity of 128 GB and speeds of 6400+ MHz with overclocking. Both XMP and EXPO profiles are supported for straightforward memory tuning. Storage connectivity is a highlight of this board. A single Blazing M.2 slot (M2_1) connects directly to the CPU via PCIe Gen5 x4, delivering up to 128 Gb/s bandwidth — ideal for the latest high-speed NVMe drives. Two additional Hyper M.2 slots (M2_2 and M2_3) operate at PCIe Gen4 x4 (64 Gb/s each), while two SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors provide legacy drive support. RAID 0 and RAID 1 are supported for SATA devices; RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 are available for NVMe devices. Expansion slots include one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for the primary graphics card and one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot operating at x4 mode. Display output comes via HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K 120Hz) and DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC (up to 4K 120Hz), leveraging integrated AMD RDNA 2 graphics when a compatible CPU is installed. Connectivity is comprehensive: a Realtek Dragon RTL8125BG 2.5 Gigabit LAN port handles wired networking, while an 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E module with 2x2 MU-MIMO antenna configuration extends into the 6 GHz band for low-latency wireless. Bluetooth is also included via the same module. USB ports span multiple generations: 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), eight USB 3.2 Gen1 ports (four rear, four front headers), and six USB 2.0 ports (two rear, four front headers). All USB ports carry ESD protection. Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel HD audio, complemented by Nahimic Audio software. The rear I/O also includes an optical S/PDIF output and gold-plated audio jacks.
