Combo for Advanced AI PCs

This bundle pairs an ASUS B650E MAX GAMING WIFI motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor for the AM5 platform. The 16 core, 32 thread CPU reaches a 5.7 GHz max boost and includes 64 MB L3 cache plus 16 MB L2 cache. It targets builders who want a ready to run foundation for demanding AI workloads and high end gaming.

192 GB DDR5 capacity with 8000 MT/s headroom

Four 288 pin slots support dual channel DDR5 up to 192 GB and 8000+ MT/s when overclocked. The CPU officially supports DDR5 5600, so memory beyond that speed requires manual tuning. ECC unbuffered modules are accepted for users who need error correction at capacity limits.

PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and PCIe 5.0 M.2 share CPU lanes

The primary graphics slot and the top M.2 2280 drive connect through the Ryzen 9000 and 7000 series CPU at PCIe 5.0 x4 and x16 respectively. A second M.2 2280 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x4 from the CPU. Additional chipset slots operate at PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 3.0 x1, with SATA ports disabled when the PCIe 3.0 slots are populated. Rear USB 10 Gbps Type A and Type C, 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 complete the I/O.

Questions about this item

Will the board still run my SATA SSDs if I populate the two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots?

The two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots share bandwidth with SATA6G_1/2; enabling either slot disables those two SATA ports, while the remaining two SATA 6Gb/s ports stay active.

How do I confirm the system posts correctly on first boot?

The Q-LED Core indicator shows CPU, memory, graphics and boot status LEDs; a steady white light means the Ryzen 9 9950X and DDR5 are initialised without errors.

Does the combo include a CPU cooler or must I buy one separately?

The Ryzen 9 9950X ships without a cooler; you need to purchase a compatible AM5 cooler before assembly.
