The budget Asus TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS motherboard allows the creation of a reliable and productive machine based on AMD 7000 series processors (Raphael) with the latest AM5 socket. The equipment belongs to the gaming series, as confirmed by the reinforced metal PCI slot SafeSlot Core+ for a large video card, improved six-layer layout for heat dissipation, and a VRM module protected against overheating. The motherboard can serve as a foundation for an entry-level gaming build, but it is more suitable for office and home use. It supports high-speed DDR5 memory with a maximum impressive capacity of up to 192 GB and the ability to operate in dual-channel mode. Special algorithms (EXPO), built into the UEFI firmware, allow getting maximum DRAM performance without unnecessary risks.

The Asus TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS is equipped with two DisplayPort ports, supporting sequential connection of compatible monitors, enabling the creation of an effective system for presentations and demonstrations. Digital connectors ensure high-resolution image output for maximum detail. Audio connectors are complemented by intelligent noise-canceling systems for clear voice and music transmission. Compatibility with modern mobile gadgets is ensured by a connector for connecting USB-C to the front panel of the case. The motherboard allows easy creation of beautiful visualization using RGB/ARGB controllers and a cooling system with minimal noise due to PWM support. A separate BIOS Flashback button on the rear panel provides for safe firmware updates even in the absence of support from the installed processor or video card.

The MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI motherboard fully reveals the potential of processors on the AM5 socket, including the 2022 introduced 7000 series models under the Raphael code name. The equipment has connectors for connecting all types of cooling systems, located in the most accessible spots — near the front, top, and rear panels of the case. Users can maximize overclocking thanks to a 15-phase power converter and dual eight-pin connectors for the processor. All crucial components are protected under heat-dissipating MOSFET pads, ensuring stable temperatures under prolonged loads. MSI's proprietary utilities and the extended UEFI firmware allow configuring all components in graphical mode, optimizing the balance between performance, energy conservation, and noise. PCI Express slots are secured using Steel Armor technology to withstand the heavy weight of the video card.

All connectors in the MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI operate at maximum speeds to provide an advantage in any type of games. The rear USB-C Gen 2x2 interface offers a data transfer rate of up to 20 Gbit/s. With sixth-generation Wi-Fi (6E), there's no need to tie to the router's installation location, stretch additional wires, or worry about possible delays. In MSI Center, you can set priority for Steam applications. Four slots for DDR5 with Memory Boost technology guarantee high speed and no interference in DRAM operation. The latter can be overclocked to 7200 MHz. Bluetooth 5.3 offers wireless connection for gaming controllers, manipulators, and headsets with minimal delay for stable gaming. Among other things, LED lighting, a TPM encryption module, and easy BIOS firmware via the rear button (Flashback) are available.

The ASRock B650 PG Lightning motherboard is designed for creating professional-level gaming builds. Its primary advantage is the advanced power scheme, which includes 17 phases (14/2/1) and allows using the latest multi-core 7000 series processors. The optimized VRM is complemented by SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology that monitors parameters, eliminates overheating, and ensures a safe overclocking experience. The motherboard supports tested EXPO/XMP profiles for safe performance enhancement and the ability for manual overclocking of already high-speed DDR5 memory. Typical for the gaming series, PCI slots have a reinforced metal base. The M.2 interface with PCI Express 5.0 support deserves special attention, guaranteeing increased data exchange speeds with solid-state drives up to 128 GB/s. The motherboard allows the creation of an efficient cooling system based on fans or liquid cooling. Heatsinks are standardly provided on all crucial nodes for heat dissipation.

ASRock B650 PG Lightning automatically installs all drivers after deploying the OS via a proprietary application. Users can also ensure compatibility with new equipment by updating the firmware using BIOS Flashback technology. Ports for connecting gaming devices are serviced by different controllers, eliminating signal transmission delays and enhancing manipulator responsiveness. High-speed USB 3.2 and USB-C interfaces are provided. In terms of gaming capabilities, features like an audio tracker that displays sound direction, a 2.5 Gbit/s network for stable online encounters, and an audio system with Nahimic additions for voice and music optimization can be highlighted.

The mid-range Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS gaming motherboard provides effective interaction of all components and supports both manual and automatic overclocking to achieve best performance in games, graphics processing, and multimedia. It allows the creation of a reliable workstation based on the AM5 socket and advanced AMD 7000 series processors. The manufacturer has ensured comprehensive cooling with MOSFET pads and heatsinks that handle increased loads well and allow fan noise reduction. A 16-phase converter ensures stable power supply and safe overclocking using EXPO profiles and UEFI presets. The ASUS ProCool power connectors, made of superconductors, have lower resistance, preventing the appearance of "hot spots" that cause overheating and component failure. The use of proprietary TUF chokes and capacitors enhances the stability of operation under maximum loads and elevated temperatures, doubling their service life.

The Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS motherboard is compatible with all components and peripherals, and if necessary, offers firmware updating by pressing a single BIOS Flashback button. The slot for connecting M.2 solid-state drives is equipped with a proprietary latch and supports PCIe 5.0, the fastest standard by the end of 2023. For image output via DisplayPort, a large monitor or TV supporting 8K resolution can be used to ensure smoothness and detail of dynamic content. Also noteworthy is the USB-C Gen 2x2 interface, capable of data exchange at speeds of 20 Mbit/s. The PCI SafeSlot Core+ slot for a video card is reinforced with metal and additional mounting points to the board.
