Standard-sized motherboard from the ASRock Pro lineup released in 2022. Unlike most of its peers, its capabilities exceed those of the mid-range class. The ASRock B650 PG Lightning is equipped with an AM5 processor socket, replacing the popular but outdated AM4 socket. The model is optimized for working with DDR5 memory and high-speed SSDs, providing support for PCI-E fourth and fifth generation buses.

Overall, the platform supports the installation of DDR5 RAM modules with a maximum frequency of 7200 MHz and a total capacity of up to 192 GB, making it an attractive choice for users focused on large volumes of fast and modern memory. Storage installation capabilities include three M.2 slots for high-speed NVMe SSDs, including one running in PCI-E 5.0 mode, as well as four SATA3 ports for standard HDD and SSD drives.

The built-in high-performance 17-phase power converter with an enlarged heatsink and improved electrical design ensures full potential for Ryzen 7000 series multicore processors. Additionally, the board provides two PCI-E slots for installing graphics cards with Crossfire support. Extra free connectors along the perimeter of the board for LED strips and liquid cooling surpass the capabilities of most PRO series boards, making this model an interesting option for a gaming PC using next-gen components. The Dragon RTL8125BG network controller with a bandwidth of 2.5 Gb/s ensures high performance in competitive games and resource-intensive tasks.

Gaming power and technological superiority

ASRock B650 PG Lightning motherboard is designed for professional-grade gaming PCs. The main advantage of the model is its high-quality power design with 17 phases (14/2/1), providing support for powerful multi-core AMD 7000 series processors. The optimized VRM is complemented by SPS technology, which prevents overheating and allows you to safely overclock the system. The board supports EXPO/XMP profiles for improved performance and offers manual overclocking capabilities for DDR5 memory. Gaming PCI slots feature a reinforced metal base, and the M.2 interface with PCI Express 5.0 support significantly increases data transfer speeds. For efficient cooling, radiators are provided on key elements, allowing the use of both coolers and water cooling systems.

Simplified maintenance and optimized use

ASRock B650 PG Lightning provides automatic driver installation through a proprietary application after installing the OS. Firmware updates are available using the BIOS Flashback feature. Various controllers servicing ports for gaming devices guarantee minimal delay in signal transmission and increased response. USB 3.2 and USB-C interfaces are supported for quick connections. In terms of gaming features, it is worth noting an audio tracker to determine the direction of sound, a 2.5 Gbps network adapter for a reliable online connection, and an audio system with Nahimic technology to improve the sound of voice and music.
