ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-E WIFI Specifications

ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-E WIFI by ASUS is a Micro-ATX form factor motherboard based on the mid-range B650M-E chipset and AM5 socket, providing a balanced set of features and connectivity. It is designed to support DDR5 memory up to 192 GB and memory overclocking up to 7600 MHz. The motherboard features 4 memory slots and offers support for PCIe 4.0 x16, ensuring compatibility with modern GPUs and high-bandwidth expansion cards.

ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-E WIFI Performance Review

The ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-E WIFI comes with a basic VRM configuration, providing 60 A across 8 phases. It is designed for entry-level to mid-range low-wattage CPUs. Overclocking or using high-wattage CPUs may lead to thermal issues or potential damage. This board is recommended for budget builds or users with modest performance needs.

This motherboard includes an entry-level audio chipset — Realtek ALC897 — which provides basic sound quality suitable for casual use. While it’s acceptable for everyday tasks such as web browsing, video playback, and light gaming, it may not meet the expectations of users with mid to high-end audio setups. Audiophiles and those seeking high-fidelity sound should consider using a dedicated sound card or external DAC.

This board delivers balanced value with a performance-per-price ratio of 64.3%, offering a solid blend of features, quality, and affordability.
