Description
This item is brand-new, factory sealed.
ABSOLUTE SIMPLICITY
B650M PROJECT ZERO moves the power connectors, fan connectors, and other pin headers to the back of the motherboard. This provides a cleaner and neater front view, allowing the motherboard, liquid cooler, and graphics card's aesthetic design to be fully displayed.
Extended Heatsink
Extended Heatsink enlarges the surface of heat dissipation, ensuring even high- end processors to run in full speed.
M.2 Shield Frozr
Keeps M.2 SSDs safe while preventing throttling, making them run faster.
Heavy Plated VRM Heatsink
The VRM heatsink covers the upper MOS and helps dissipate the heat.
7W/mK Thermal Pad & Additional Choke Pad
High quality 7W/mK MOSFET thermal pads and extra choke thermal pads ensure all cores running in high performcance.
OPTIMIZED FOR WATER COOLING
Designed to support the most popular All-In-One & customized water cooling solutions on the market. A dedicated water pump PIN header supports up to 3 amp, giving you full control of the water pump speed. A clearly marked 'keep-out-zone' allows for easy and safe installation and a perfect fit.
DIRECT 10+2+1 PHASES POWER DESIGN
Unleash and sustain maximum performance with an aggressive VRM design built with digital CPU power system. Combining 8 + 8-pin power connectors and exclusive Core Boost technology, B650M PROJECT ZERO is ready to sustain heavy gaming loadings.
OPTIMIZED PCB SOLUTION
The PCB design has been optimized for higher bandwidth and faster transfer speeds, which is also beneficial for reliable circuit transmission.
BACK-CONNECT DESIGN
The B650M PROJECT ZERO features a back-connect design, which relocates the motherboard power, CPU power, fan pins, SATA, and other interfaces to the back of the motherboard. This allows for simpler cable management, while also providing a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the system.
GEN 4 PCI-E
MSI Gen 4 PCI-E represents the bandwidth of a x16 interface to 64GB/s that has doubled compared to its previous generation.
REINFORCED, HEAVY SOLDERED CONNECTIONS
MSI PCI Express Steel Armor slots are secured to the motherboard with extra solder points and support the weight of heavy graphics cards. When every advantage in games counts, Steel Armor shields the point of contact from electromagnetic interference.
FAST AND FUTURE-READY STORAGE
MSI PROJECT ZERO series motherboards support all the latest storage standards, which allows users to connect any ultra-fast storage device. Start games faster, load levels faster and have a real advantage over your enemies.
LATEST DDR5 MEMORY WITH SMT SLOT
A huge step of DDR performance enhancement with the latest DDR5 memory. Combines with dedicated SMT welding process and MSI Memory Boost technology, B650M PROJECT ZERO is ready to deliver the world class memory performance.
The advanced SMT(Surface Mount Technology) welding process reduces the defect rate of slot solder joints, electromagnetism, and interference. Combining with exclusive Memory Boost technology allows MSI motherboards to deliver the clean and pure high-frequency DDR5 signal.
EASY OVERCLOCKING WITH EXPO PROFILE
MSI conducts thorough memory testing with the most popular memory brands under extreme conditions to ensure your system runs stable no matter what. Easy to enable EXPO profile with auto power settings to get the best memory speed and stability.
