Dr.MOS is the integrated power stage solution which is optimized for synchronous buck-set down voltage applications! Compared to traditional discrete MOSFETs, it intelligently delivers higher current for each phase, thus providing improved thermal result and superior performance.

Featuring sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU, offering enhanced performance for gamers.

Derived from the ?built for stable and reliable? designing concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. All B650 motherboards are built with 6-Layer PCB design, enthusiasts are able to enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance up to 7200MHz and beyond by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are AMD EXPO/ Intel XMP capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying and absolutely no sweat at all.

The Blazing OC Tuner allows AM5 CPU to switch between OC mode and PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) mode when the CPU current hits threshold. Anything above current threshold will engage manual OC mode; if below current threshold then will engage Precision Boost Overdrive mode. This idea is to combine overclocking on all cores and automatic boost on a single core to get the best performance out of your CPU. There is no need to enter BIOS to setup up, you can modify all the settings on time under OS.

PBO(Precision Boost Overdrive) is an automatic performance-maximizing technology that is able to improve your PC?s performance by raising clock speeds based on the conditions inside your PC, AMD?s processors is equipped with intelligent thermal sensors designed to analyze conditions inside your PC and make the ?go faster? decision as often as possible, please ensure system cooling is sufficient before enabling PBO.

The reinforced steel slot is capable of supporting PCI Express 4.0 standard. The various benefits include:
Extra anchor points
Stronger latch
Ensure signal stability
Make sure heavy graphics cards to be well-installed.
