Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or via the UEFI.

AIO Water-Cooling
An integrated AiO system enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, making it perfect for custom or self-contained cooling setups.

Smart Fan Protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from excess heat and electrical currents.

4-Pin PWM/DC Fan
All onboard chassis fan headers support auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

Connectivity
TUF-GAMING B650 motherboards reach new heights of performance potential with the latest version of PCI Express, while an arsenal of USB ports includes three Type-C® connections, and Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) expands compatibility and bandwidth even further.

USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C®
Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of external devices. This TUF GAMING motherboard includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port on the rear I/O panel that delivers transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps.

Front USB3.2 Gen 1 Type-C®
A full complement of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C® connector that provides data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps.

PCIe 5.0
The latest AMD processors bring PCIe 5.0 support to the market. PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks.

USB4® Support
TUF GAMING B650 motherboards feature USB4® support via a Thunderbolt™ (USB4®) header. With an ASUS add-on card*, TUF GAMING motherboards can enable bi-directional speeds of up to 40 Gbps on a single cable, while providing power to fast-charge device.
