Verdict

The ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi is a feature-rich ATX motherboard for the AMD AM5 socket, supporting Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors with a robust 14+2+1 power phase design and 80A Dr.MOS. Key specifications include support for up to 192GB of DDR5 memory at speeds of 7200+ MHz (OC), a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for future-proof GPUs, and three M.2 slots, including one PCIe Gen5x4 'Blazing' slot. Its primary strengths lie in its high-speed connectivity, featuring Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 2.5G LAN, and a rear USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port, all housed in a striking white and silver 8-layer PCB design. However, notable drawbacks include a limited number of SATA3 ports (four) and the lack of a quick-release mechanism for M.2 SSD installation.
