ASRock B850M Pro-A WiFi

The ASRock B850M Pro-A WiFi is a microATX motherboard for the AMD AM5 platform, designed for Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors and aimed at balanced mid-range systems. The board is built on the B850 chipset and features an 8+2+1 Phase Power Design with Dr.MOS, sufficient for most mainstream Ryzen processors in everyday and gaming scenarios. The ASRock B850M Pro-A WiFi supports up to 256 GB of DDR5 across four DIMM slots with frequencies up to 8000+ MT/s in overclocking, and is compatible with both EXPO and XMP. For graphics, there is one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, making the motherboard well-suited for one high-performance graphics card and an additional expansion card. The storage subsystem includes one Blazing M.2 PCIe Gen5 x4, two Hyper M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 slots, and four SATA3 connectors, providing flexibility when building a system with multiple SSDs. Network connectivity is provided by a Realtek 2.5G LAN and a Wi-Fi 6E module with Bluetooth, while video outputs include HDMI and DisplayPort. The rear panel features USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, additional USB 3.2 Gen1 and USB 2.0 ports, as well as BIOS Flashback. The ASRock B850M Pro-A WiFi serves as a practical foundation for a compact AM5 build when DDR5, a single PCIe 5.0 slot for NVMe SSD, 2.5G LAN, and built-in Wi-Fi are needed without paying extra for higher-end models.
