before relocating the system.
• When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables
for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
• Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power
cables are unplugged.
• Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices
could interrupt the grounding circuit.
• Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not
sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power
company.
• If the power supply is broken, do not try to x it by yourself. Contact a qualied service
technician or your retailer.

Product Introduction
1.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change
any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded
object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due
to static electricity.
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the
bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so
may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
Unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can
cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.

11. Addressable Gen 2 headers
The Addressable Gen 2 headers allow you to connect individually
addressable RGB WS2812B LED strips or WS2812B based LED strips.
The Addressable Gen 2 header supports WS2812B addressable RGB
LED strips (5V/Data/Ground), with a maximum power rating of 3A (5V)
and the addressable headers on this board can handle a combined
maximum of 500 LEDs.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply is switched off
or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
• Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
• If your LED strip does not light up, check if the addressable RGB LED strip is
connected in the correct orientation, and the 5V connector is aligned with the 5V
header on the motherboard.
• The addressable RGB LED strip will only light up when the system is powered on.
• The addressable RGB LED strip is purchased separately.
12. Aura RGB header

The Aura RGB header supports 5050 RGB multi-color LED strips (12V/G/R/B), with a
maximum power rating of 3A (12V), and no longer than 3m.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched
off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
• Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
• If your LED strip does not light up, check if the RGB LED extension cable and the
RGB LED strip are connected in the correct orientation, and the 12V connector is
aligned with the 12V header on the motherboard.
• The LED strip will only light up when the system is powered on.

13. Clear CMOS header
The Clear CMOS header allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in
the CMOS, which contains the date, time, system passwords, and system setup
parameters.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Short-circuit pin 1-2 with a metal object or jumper cap for about 5-10 seconds.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to
re-enter data.

DO NOT short-circuit the pins except when clearing the RTC RAM. Short-circuiting or
placing a jumper cap will cause system boot failure!
If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard button cell battery and short the two
pins again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the button
cell battery.
14. COM Port header

1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
This motherboard comes with an AMD Socket AM5 designed for AMD
Ryzen™ 7000 Series Desktop Processors.
Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
• The AM5 socket has a different pinout design. Ensure that you use a CPU designed
for the AM5 socket. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the
CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging
the CPU!
• ASUS will not cover damages resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal,
incorrect CPU orientation/placement, or other damages resulting from negligence by
the user.
ASUS PRIME B650M-A AX
Installing the CPU
Apply the Thermal Interface Material to the CPU cooling system and CPU before you install
the cooling system, if necessary.

1.4 System memory
This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) Dual Inline Memory Module
(DIMM) sockets. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR5 DIMM sockets:
Channel Sockets
Channel A DIMM_A1 & DIMM_A2
Channel B DIMM_B1 & DIMM_B2
DIMM_A1
DIMM_A2
DIMM_B1
DIMM_B2
1st
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system
maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel conguration. Any
excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel
operation.
• A DDR5 memory module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, DDR3 or DDR4
module. DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, DDR3 or DDR4 memory module to the DDR5
slot.
• You may install 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB unbuffered, ECC and Non-ECC DDR5
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect
(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module.
Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a
lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
• For system stability, use a more efcient memory cooling system to support a full
memory load.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we
recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C)
from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules.
• Refer to www.asus.com for the latest Memory QVL (Qualied Vendors Lists), and
memory frequency support depends on the CPU types.
