Product overview
Launched in October 2022, the ASUS ROG Strix B650‑A Gaming WiFi is part of ASUS’s first‑wave AM5 B650 boards for Ryzen 7000; ASUS announced the lineup on October 3 and B650 motherboards reached retail on October 10, 2022. It now supports Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 processors via BIOS updates. Positioned as a mainstream B650 ATX board, it exists to deliver PCIe 5.0 storage, DDR5, and Wi‑Fi 6E features without the cost of X670. It’s well‑suited to expansion/multi‑M.2 and high‑speed memory builds, light overclocking on AM5, and first‑time builders thanks to Q‑Release/Q‑Latch conveniences. Notably, it includes a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot on a B650 platform.Sourcepress.asus.comSourcerog.asus.comSourcerog.asus.comSourceen.wikipedia.org
