Extreme Overclocking Performance
DDR5 EXPO & XMP Support
Derived from the "built for stable and reliable" designing concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. All B650E motherboards are built with 8-Layer and premium low-loss materials, enthusiasts are able to enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance up to 6600MHz and beyond by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are AMD EXPO™/ Intel® XMP capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying and absolutely no sweat at all.
Blazing OC Tuner
The Blazing OC Tuner allows AM5 CPU to switch between OC mode and PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) mode when the CPU current hits the threshold. Anything above the current threshold will engage manual OC mode; if below the current threshold then will engage Precision Boost Overdrive mode. This idea is to combine overclocking on all cores and automatic boost on a single core to get the best performance out of your CPU. There is no need to enter BIOS to set up, you can modify all the settings on time under OS.
AMD PBO Technology
PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) is an automatic performance-maximizing technology that is able to improve your PC's performance by raising clock speeds based on the conditions inside your PC, AMD's processors are equipped with intelligent thermal sensors designed to analyze conditions inside your PC and make the "go faster" decision as often as possible, please ensure system cooling is sufficient before enabling PBO.
DDR5 Memory With Protection Circuit
Due to the unique electrical architecture of DDR5 DIMM, there's a high risk of damaging the memory module if AC power isn't disconnected properly during removal or installation. To prevent this, ASRock has implemented a trouble-free protection circuit on every DDR5 motherboard, lowering the risk of damaging your memory module.
