ASRock B650E PG-ITX WiFi

The B650E PG-ITX WiFi is ASRock's Phantom Gaming Mini-ITX board for Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 builds, built on an unusually robust 10-layer server-grade PCB for an ITX board, aimed at buyers who want durability alongside PCIe 5.0 performance.

A 10+2+1 phase SPS design rated at 105A per stage gives this board strong headroom for current Ryzen chips, backed by the 10-layer PCB that ASRock markets as improving signal integrity and long-term reliability over typical 6-8 layer ITX boards. Two DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 128GB total capacity, with AMD EXPO enabling speeds of 6800+ MT/s depending on CPU and memory kit. A single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot handles the GPU, and two M.2 slots are provided: a "Blazing" PCIe 5.0 x4 slot and a "Hyper" PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, both with dedicated thermal solutions. A Killer E3100 2.5GbE controller pairs with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Audio uses a Realtek ALC1220 codec, and the board optionally supports an eDP side-panel display for cases that offer that feature, a distinctive addition for SFF builders. Against the ASRock B650I Lightning WiFi in this catalog, the B650E PG-ITX WiFi offers a notably heavier-duty PCB construction and higher-rated VRM stages, positioning it as the more premium of ASRock's two B650-class ITX offerings.
