The ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans and all-in-one (AiO) coolers. Whether cooling with air or water, an auto-tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There is also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds below the default minimum threshold, making your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans and AiO coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of PRIME motherboards. With the PRIME B650M-R, you can harness the full potential of DDR5 modules, whether it's an extreme speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

A well-tuned system of enthusiasm deserves a corresponding aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full control of RGB lighting with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs, as well as for strips and devices connected to the built-in RGB headers - and all of these can be synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

The Q-LED Core display produces bright patterns per power LED during the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which can help users troubleshoot potential issues.
