Description

AM5 socket and DDR5 memory for current AMD builds

The AM5 socket and B850 chipset put this board on AMD's current desktop platform. Four DDR5-SDRAM slots let you start with two memory modules and add more later. Pick a matching AM5 processor and a DDR5 kit, and you have a solid base for gaming, work or everyday use.

PCIe 5.0 graphics slot and three M.2 slots

A PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slot holds your graphics card, and an extra PCI-Express 4.0 x4 slot takes an expansion card. With three M.2 slots, you can run your operating system, games and projects on separate fast SSDs without filling the case with cables.

Wi-Fi, USB-C and display outputs on the rear panel

Built-in Wi-Fi means no extra adapter, and there's an RJ45 port when you'd rather use a cable. You also get one USB-C port, three USB 3.2 ports and four USB 2.0 ports, plus HDMI and DisplayPort for the processor's integrated graphics. Audio in, audio out and a microphone jack cover the basics.

Who it suits

It suits gamers and home users building a compact AM5 PC in a micro ATX case. It also works well for upgraders moving to DDR5 and for small office or streaming setups that need wireless networking.
