Cheapest AM5 ITX board, also one of the cheapest AM5 boards at the moment. The hardware seems pretty strong however their BIOS seems pretty lacklustre. If you want ITX it's either this or spend more than 2 times the money on a Gigabyte A620i or Maxsun B650i.

Specs:
AMD B650 Chipset
1* PCIe 4.0 x16
2* DDR5 Slot
2* M.2 Slot (Front and back, 2280)
4* SATA3 6Gb/s
8+2+1 Power Phase 55A Dr.MOS
Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5G Ethernet
Realtek ALC897 Audio
Supports M.2 WiFi (includes the bracket but no antennas or WiFi card), I recommend Intel AX210

WARNING: If you plan to use an RTX 50xx or RX 9000 graphics card you will need to update the BIOS or you will not be able to install drivers.

    You get what you pay for.. with these sort of motherboards..
    If you have plenty on time on your hands.. and want to cheap out.. these, aren't bad..
    Just don't expect it to be a plug and play solution like most motherboards..
    The bios update is not very straight forward. and there's no CPU less / failsafe method, like with most mainstream boards..
    Make sure you get the right bios bios when you update..

    On the plus side.. some of the newer bios, gets rid of all the chinese menus compeltely..

    Becareful of the some of weird arse memory compatiblity issues. So long you have plenty of memory kits around to try out… to find one that works.. highly recommend the hynix stuff..
    the M2 wifi antenaes, are pretty tricky to install on the m2 card itself…, if you haven't done it before…
    Evne now it can take me either 1-2 minutes or 15-30 minutes of cursing……given they can come off so easily…

    • Once the antennas attached I apply a dab of superglue to keep them there.

    • If you have plenty on time on your hands.. and want to cheap out.. these, aren't bad..

      Still better than building PCs back in the 80s and 90s where you had to populate ISA slots in some random particular order, set random switches and jumpers on the motherboard for different CPUs, enter the number of heads / cylinders / sectors of hard drives manually into the BIOS, not to mention the good old M/S jumper on IDE drives.

    • totally agree. I got the Jginyue B670i gaming i spent at least a few hours trying to get my CPU to boost correctly and troubleshooting a reboot loop. I eventually realised that it can't handle when there is too much power draw at boot from usb devices.

    A happy middle ground would be maxsun itx boards.
    Used their b550i and has been solid. All the BIOS settings where you'd expect them to be. Was easy to find the drivers.

    This brand on the other hand, you could be left with a bios with compatibility issues or worse.

    • Would recommend the Maxsun but they've gone up quite a bit in price.

      • Maxsun is a famous brand in main stream. Just not as famous as Asus, MSI and Giga. But quality is very good.

        • Yeah I know, but their B650i is almost 2x the price

          • @maimai: Was able to get one for US$105 , a couple of months ago. With cashback would've been slightly less. At that price it was a no brainer. The cheapest itx am5 from the big-4 board makers was at least 275ish at that point.

    Any recommendations for a case to go with this?

  • It's better to go with Maxsun rather this brand

  • If you are getting Chinese MB, Maxsun might be better as it has better bios and decent quality.

    The B850M is selling about 200-250.

  • Any micro ATX or full ATX option?

    I purchased this board a couple years back, the USB ports didn't work out of the box.

    USB controllers seemed dead - poor QC. Have you tried to use a PC without USB ports? its infuriating you can't even install windows.

    Tried to get support from Jginyue and Aliexpres, but the best reply I got was 'return' - which I did get a refund.

    Buyer beware.

  • Does this version of the board support Ryzen 9000 ?

  • I purchased 2 of there b650m boards a month ago to go with the cheap ryzen 7700 processors from AliExpress.

    Had to google which option to change to make the language English. Flashed the latest bios which mentioned lots more memory compatibility. My crucial 6400mhz ram(also purchased from Ali) booted straight up and easily put it into expo profile.

    Chipset drivers easily downloaded from the website, no bios RGB controller than I could see but they use a modded version of openrgb on windows.

    These 2 PC's (wife and daughter) boot into windows faster than the PC I built my self with a $300 motherboard and more expensive ram with zero issues at all so far.

    Again this is a review of the jginyue b650m pro so may not be totally relevant to this board, but possible they have similar quality components and bios.
