memory

DDR5 performance improvement
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. With the PRIME B650M-R, you can unlock the full potential of your DDR5 modules, whether they come from an extreme speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

For entry-level modules without EXPO™ memory support, Asus has the right solution for you.

The PRIME B650M-R is ideally suited for high-end kits thanks to extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support for those looking to push the clock speeds beyond standard DDR5. Experienced veterans can further optimize performance using the extensive UEFI settings.

Exclusive AEMP
The ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips in your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing, and voltage profiles that you can easily apply to boost performance.

Drives

PCIe® 4.0 M.2 support
The PRIME B650M-R features two M.2 slots that support data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe® 4.0, enabling faster boot and loading times for operating systems and applications.
* The actual transmission speed is lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

Connectivity

Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet
Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and provides exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster and smoother data transfers.

LANGuard
ASUS LANGuard is a hardware-level network protection feature that integrates advanced signal coupling technology and high-quality surface-mounted anti-EMI capacitors to improve throughput and ensure a more reliable connection.
