Carte Mère ASRock B650M PG Lightning DDR5 (AM5) Micro ATX

not bad

I'm building my first PC and bought this motherboard (new, not used), and after extensive testing and eventually taking it to a professional, I found out that the motherboard is faulty. I thought I had built the PC wrong or something so I tried for ages to work it out. Unfortunately now the return window has passed because I have been trying to figure this out myself and learn the process, so I'm out of luck and stuck with a broken part. I would recommend being cautious with these, and confirm that they are working ASAP so you don't end up like me. The PC technician I spoke to said that Asrock brand parts often have faults, so take that for what it's worth.

I've only had it for a few days so this review may change. I accidentally put my OS M.2 in the 'Hyper' (Gen4) slot thinking that was faster than 'Blazing' (Gen5) but it's still incredibly fast and boots to Windows almost immediately. Strange naming conventions aside, it's fine. At the listed price, you can get better boards such as ASRock's own Pro RS and even some with WiFi, so I wouldn't pay full price for it. I find it cheeky that the VRM on the MATX version is much inferior to the ATX board with the same name. It's also pretty tiny, making it nigh impossible to safely release the GPU clip with a CPU cooler installed.

Nickel! Au top

コスパのいい商品。 こじんまりしたPCを組みたい方におすすめします。

Ein preiswertes Mainboard mit AM5 Sockel. Funktioniert ohne Probleme. Trotz mATX Format sind 4 Slots (und nicht nur 2 Slots) für DDR5 RAM-Bausteine vorhanden.

Motherboard works as it should it is shipped with no bios updated so I would suggest you update the bios as it's more than a year old or so.... Second after updating bios make sure you reset the cmos because I had terrible instability after bios update but after resetting the cmos everything runs smoothly and boots pretty dam fast into windows. Lastly I would suggest using expo ddr5 only I know some kits say Intel xmp and expo but my 1st kit was silicon power that had both profiles but it wasn't stable. I now use G skill trident Z 6000 CL30 very fast and very stable with my 7600x and ASRock motherboard. Most people forget to reset cmos after a big bios update but it's simple on this motherboard since it has the pins made for that cmos reset. I would definitely recommend this motherboard.
