NZXT N7 B650E - AMD B650 Chipset - Supports AMD Ryzen 9000 8000 & 7000 Series CPUs (Socket AM5) - ATX Gaming Motherboard - Integrated Rear I/O Shield - DDR5 - Wi-Fi 6E - White

Had zero issues getting it to boot after flashing the BIOS to 3.25 with a 9800x3D and two sticks of 6000 MHz DDR5 from Silicon Power. I’m in love with the looks and functionality of this board. My only complaint is not being able to use the existing heat sink on my Samsung 980 Pro SSD without leaving one of the covers off. Also, be extra careful with clearances if you plan to mount an AIO at the top. It can get tight in smaller cases.

This is a really good looking , high performance on a budget motherboard. Updating bios was very easy. It’s a must you always do this crucial step. I love how clean it looks on my build

My build:Motherboard: NZXT N7 B650E with integrated 4k GPU and onboard WiFi6CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900XRAM: 128GB DDR5PSU: 1k WattSSD: 1x 1TB + 1x 2TB, both Western DigitalLiquid Cooling: GAMDIAS Aura GL240 V2, 240mmChassis: GAMDIAS White ATX Mid Tower with 4x 120mm ARGB FansThis motherboard is excellent for the money. It boots up really fast, especially with the max load of 128GB of DDR5 RAM. It's made for the Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 series, and my CPU works very well with every component I added in. This sucker's practically a brick, so it's built solid while also easy to install. All USB ports work very well. The ARGB features, integrated 4k graphics, and onboard Wi-Fi 6 are very smooth.The only thing that caught me off guard is that this needs two power connectors to run. I knew of the 24 pin connector (located on the right-hand side) that powers the board itself, but I initially missed the 8 pin connector that powers the CPU and ports on the back. It's located on the upper left corner near the CPU. I'm used to building with boards that have a single power connector, so just remember to connect that 8 pin to your PSU and your board will work just fine.

Before ANYTHING: Warning to all, make sure you check the QVL. A lot of popular RAM is just straight up not on there. We'll get into why this is important, especially if this is your first/only build later.Anyway, almost named this review "Technically works," but, as of now, it doesn't.To start off, something was rattling in the box. It was a PCIe port clamp. That doesn't inhibit the function of the board, so I built into it anyway. The board looks phenomenal. However, that doesn't fix its horrible BIOS. If you change an AMD Expo profile (XMP equivalent) and you don't have supported RAM, your hours of having a working computer are numbered. Flashing BIOS via USB does not fix this. You have effectively bricked your motherboard until you buy new RAM and change your Expo profiles in BIOS. This solution also doesn't always work. So you might be $200 in the hole, need to buy a new motherboard, and need to rebuild EVERYTHING, including re-pasting your CPU.The only reason that this does not get 1 star is that the board technically works out of the box, mostly, and it looks great. However, it came broken, your options for approved RAM are INCREDIBLY limited, and if you try to use an Expo profile for your RAM, flashing BIOS and clearing CMOS doesn't work. Would NOT recommend unless you have:Extra RAM laying aroundAn extra motherboardAn extra caseBut at that point, I just would buy a different motherboard, even if it looks worse.Will update the review if using QVL approved RAM (G.Skill F5-5600J3636D32GX2-RS5W) fixes the board (or doesn't)EDIT: it does notit appears as once you've tried to use an EXPO profile with non QVL RAM, the board is bricked. there goes my licenses :)

This motherboard looks amazing in my case. It has great functionality as well for the price. Bluetooth works great with my devices and Xbox controller. WiFi is fast and reliable. It’s great that it has a usb type c port.Was worried about the ram I purchased not being compatible due to NZXT QVL list not having them on it. However I’ve had absolutely no issues. I picked up 2x16gb 6000mhz with a latency of 30 teamgroup T-force DDR5 memory sticks.

I recently built a new all white PC and this motherboard was the finishing touch I was looking for. There are obviously plenty of white motherboards but this one is different. The NZXT B650E is a little bit more money than other similar boards but it looks so much better. I love that it comes with the shields to cover up the majority of the board. It really does make a huge difference compared to other boards that I have used before. The features are great as well. It has all the RGB headers I needed to connect the hub for my Lian Li Streamers as well as 10 RGB fans. It does come with Wi-Fi 6 as well.For anyone looking to do an all white setup, this motherboard really is your best option for the aesthetic appearance and it is has great features to go along with it.
