The compact microATX ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 board for the AM5 socket is a great foundation for a modern build with AMD Ryzen 7000 processors. It offers DDR5 up to 7200+ MHz (OC), PCIe 5.0 M.2 for extremely fast SSDs, 2× PCIe 4.0 x16 for expansion, USB 3.2 including front USB-C, 2.5GbE networking, and integrated HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. Stable power 8+2+1 Dr.MOS, Realtek ALC897 audio with Nahimic, and practical features like BIOS Flashback and a pre-installed I/O shield make building and upgrading easier.

                 The ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 combines the modern AMD AM5 platform with extensive connectivity and a focus on reliability. With support for DDR5 at high frequencies and a Blazing M.2 (PCIe Gen5 x4) slot, you get top-tier performance for work and play. Integrated HDMI and DisplayPort outputs can be used with Ryzen APUs, while the Dragon 2.5G NIC ensures fast, stable networking.
The 8+2+1 Dr.MOS power stage provides stability for multi-core CPUs, while the Realtek ALC897 7.1 CH codec with Nahimic delivers clean audio. The board also offers 2× PCIe 4.0 x16, 1× PCIe 4.0 x1, and M.2 Key E for an optional Wi‑Fi module, making expansion easy.
Building is simplified by the pre-installed I/O shield and features like BIOS Flashback and ASRock Auto Driver Installer. Rich USB options including a front USB 3.2 Gen2 Type‑C and rear USB‑C Gen1 are complemented by 4× SATA3 for storage and a second Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4) for fast NVMe SSDs.
