Digital Power Design
The B850M MAX GAMING WIFI features an 8+2+1 phase power supply system with discrete MOSFETs, ensuring efficient and stable power delivery for AMD processors as well as consistent performance for daily use.

The multi-layered circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and give the CPU more overclocking headroom.

The Digi+ voltage regulator module (VRM) provides real-time control over voltage drop and automatically controls frequency and energy efficiency settings.

Improved storage & storage performance
Improved DDR5 performance
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of the B650E motherboards. The B850M MAX GAMING WIFI maximizes the potential of your DDR5 modules, from entry-level models to extremely fast kits.3
For entry-level modules without EXPO™ support, the ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) automatically detects the memory chips and offers optimized profiles for improved performance.
For those looking to exceed standard DDR5 speeds, the B850M MAX GAMING WIFI offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support and a wide range of UEFI settings for further performance enhancements.4

Three M.2 slots (up to 128 Gbit/s)
The B850M MAX GAMING WIFI offers a total of three M.2 slots, including one that supports data transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and two that support PCIe 4.0. This enables faster boot and load times for operating systems and applications.
