The second PCIex16 slot supports PCIe 4.0x4

    if you choose google pay in MSY website, then no surcharge fee.

    • Wow indeed. I just checked there is a 1% surcharge on Umart but none on MSY. Hope they won't fix that.

  • Why is this better than the gigabyte one?

      Gigabyte B650M Gaming WiFi is worse than this in almost all aspects:
      ❌4 layer PCB while this one uses 6 layer,
      ❌1 M.2 while this has 2 M.2,
      ❌worse wireless card (RTL8821CE WiFi5 vs MT7902 WiFi6),
      ❌lower graphics card slot (2nd slot vs 1st slot),
      ❌worse BIOS support (does not allow CPU overclocking),
      ❌even higher price

        I don't know what stats you're looking at buddy but the gigabyte B650M Gaming has:
        2x m.2 slots, WiFi 6, 1st slot graphics card and is 130$ on Amazon. Oh you're working for the company of the ad OK that explains it

          Man, I had a Gigabyte B650M Gaming WiFi. Your statement is simply not true

          It has one M.2 for PCIe NVMe, the other one is pre-installed WiFi card.
          Also not WiFi 6 and 2nd slot graphics card if you have at least one working eye and brain

          802.11ac Wi-Fi
          1*PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Connector

          See specs on Gigabyte website
          None of the revision has the features you said.

          You can't use the features of Gigabyte B650M Gaming PLUS WiFi while using the price of Gigabyte B650M Gaming WiFi

    Very cheap for a B650m but looks like it has extremely weak 4 phase Vcore - expect it to run hot. Should be just passable for a Ryzen 5 or 7 and a 7800x3d could do with something better.

    • I was looking for this spec, 4 phase is so bad, where did you find the info?

        • No. It's WiFi version of Asus B650M-K, PWM controller using ASP2208, MOS using doubled Vishay RA12B and RA14B. There are 8 pairs of RA12B and RA14B chips on the left side and 4 pairs of them on the top

    If you can find one anywher The Asus TUF GAMING B650M-E WIFI is a Micro-ATX motherboard designed for AMD AM5 socket processors, featuring DDR5 memory support, and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. It includes a robust power design with enlarged VRM heatsinks, a PCIe 5.0 slot.

    I can confirm this runs a 9800x3D and PCIE5.0 slot with an RTX5070Ti just fine , and was $198 with a free game at the time (Doom Eternal managed to claim ok on steam!)
