The ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans and all-in-one (AiO) coolers. Whether cooling with air or water, an auto-tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There is also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds below the default minimum threshold, making your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans and AiO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

Description
The Asus PRIME B650M-R is a motherboard aimed at users seeking a reliable and economical solution for creating a basic or mid-level computing system. Asus's PRIME series typically offers basic features and reliable performance at an affordable price. This motherboard is suitable for general use, office work, and other everyday applications without the high-performance demands found in gaming or professional systems. It offers the essential functions that most users need, such as support for Intel processors and basic connections like USB and Ethernet.
Flexible air and liquid cooling controls
The ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans and all-in-one (AiO) coolers. Whether cooling with air or water, an auto-tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There is also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds below the default minimum threshold, making your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans and AiO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pad
The VRM heatsink and thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
DDR5 Performance Enhancement
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. With the PRIME B650M-R, you can harness the full potential of DDR5 modules, whether it's an extreme speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.
PCIe 4.0 M.2 Support
The PRIME B650M-R features two M.2 slots that support data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps via PCIe 4.0, enabling faster boot and application load times with operating system or application drives.
Aura Sync
A well-tuned system of enthusiasm deserves a corresponding aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full control of RGB lighting with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs, as well as for strips and devices connected to the built-in RGB headers - and all of these can be synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
Armoury Crate
Through a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate offers easily customized Aura Sync RGB settings for every compatible device in your arsenal, as well as controls for an ever-growing family of ASUS products, including keyboard and mouse preferences. Armoury Crate also integrates product registration and a news feed, so you never miss updates that interest the ASUS community.
Q-LED Core
The Q-LED Core display produces bright patterns per power LED during the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which can help users troubleshoot potential issues.
BIOS FlashBack
BIOS FlashBack is the simplest and safest method of updating the BIOS (UEFI). Simply place the (UEFI) BIOS file on a FAT32-formatted USB stick, connect it to the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can be performed even without memory or CPU installed.
SafeSlot Core
SafeSlot Core is ASUS's exclusive PCIe slot. Featuring a reinforced design that anchors to the motherboard with a special hook, SafeSlot Core provides 1.6X stronger retention and 1.3X greater shearing resistance than standard expansion slots.
