Way better choise in AM5 as this one isn't overpriced compared to other brand equivalent as the X670E was.
Nice review (as always

The board seems really nice but I think it should be priced bellow the 200 euro mark.
I'm excited to read future reviews about the ROG versions of the b650 chipsets.
Hilbert, can you tell us how long it takes to boot?
It would be nice to know that.
Anyway, great review!

I have the non-wifi version and it's a bit slower than previous AM4 system.
There's a beta bios but it crashed during install so it feels a bit like being a guinea pig. Had to rollback to older bios with bios rollback..

By a little, you mean the difference is almost non existant or it`s something noticeable and that bothers you?
I ask this because i`m thinking about an AM5 build but i don`t want a system that takes a minute to boot...

Nice review. The B650 and B650E boards seem fantastic for the needs of most people. Depending on whether you care about PCIE 5 support down the line, some of the slightly higher end models (like the B650E-F Rog Strix) can still be had for under $300 with zero drawbacks...at least on paper.
