Doesn’t have a usbc port though
That's fine by me.
4 of those Type A ports are 10gbit/s so it doesn't make a difference to anything in my setup.
Thank you. I bought both 7600 and the board using 22%. Amazing deal for me.
Upgraded from ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO (x370) + AMD Ryzen 1700x -> x370 + 3700x -> Now 7600 and B650.
The expensive boards are overrated in my opinion.
Lol ps2 port in 2023
Apparently you’re not enough of a elite gamer to appreciate the ps2 port according to https://pcguide101.com/motherboard/5-reasons-why-do-motherbo… 😂
I've watched a million gaming mice related videos, I don't think I've ever seen one about about a ps2 mouse. Even wireless mice have excellent response times, with stuff like 4/8k polling rates being placebo since it's already at the bleeding edge.
The key rollover is also useless since it's not a thing on mechanical keyboards which most gamers use.
Even tech channels never use ps2 port for troubleshooting bios, usb just works, worse case you grab another mice.
No idea, I just googled why you would even want one. Having said that, some of the $300+ keyboards come with a p/s2 adapter.
Had the full size version of this board with a 7700x, worked flawlessly
This board looks like it would fit an NR200P case. Does anyone know?
Isn't the NRE200P for mini-TX boards? This one is micro-ATX.
Ok thank you.
Only itx boards fit in the nr200 cases this won't fit.
Man I want more AM5 boards with USB4
Centrecom has the elite for $276 delivered. I don't know the difference, but grabbed the elite. https://www.centrecom.com.au/gigabyte-b650m-aorus-elite-ax-a…
This or the Aorus Elite AX B650M for 30 bucks more?

Not sure, depends on your usb needs I guess
4 USB 2.0 ports, like why?
Dunno, but hasn’t really been a problem yet either. Maybe I just don’t have a lot of peripherals.
USB 3.0 works with anything 2.0 therefore I never understood why motherboard still have lots of 2.0 unless you pay $500 or more for 3.1 and 3.2.
I am not 100% sure but I believe USB 3 uses pcie lanes which might be a factor for some people also USB3 needs external drivers on some mostly (older) operating systems, but the real reason is that it's probably just cheaper to use USB2 ports.
Ugh It's 2023 why do motherboards still have such horrible PCIe slot layouts! At bare minimum there should be a top slot above the x16 slot, and preferably here should be 2 x16 slots in positions 1 and 4.
Any GPU over dual slot width will take up every single PCIe slot on this thing, and if it's that size or smaller most add-in cards would cover a good chunk of fan area, heating up the GPU.
Annoying for people who want to use add-in cards like NICs, storage expansion cards or RAID controllers, etc.
I know it's nitpicking but it's annoying seeing investment go into 3 PCIe slots when in 95% of use cases only one is usable.
Bottom line is cost, as much as it pains me to say that a 250 dollar board is considered 'budget' now.
Don't forget to check how to disable the backdoor.

I believe it's been patched but firmware package didn't come with detailed patch notes.
Apparently there was also a toggle in the firm ware but it defaulted to on.
However you fix it, it's worth doing.
