The ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 is equipped with the B650 chipset for AMD's Ryzen 7000 series processors and offers numerous features for gamers. The Ryzen 7000 processors require a socket that supports PCIe 5.0 and enhanced power delivery, which is why the AM5 socket (LGA 1718) is used on the 600 series motherboards. Despite the increased pin count, the actual size of the socket remains the same as older sockets, allowing most CPU coolers for AM4 sockets to be mounted on the motherboard. The ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 offers good overclocking potential. The high-quality voltage regulators with 8+2+1 virtual phases provide stable power delivery to the CPU, enabling high clock speeds over extended periods. Dr.MOS allows for automatic adjustment of VRM voltage and frequency modulation. Additionally, extensive VRM heat spreaders ensure cool temperatures.
