Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28608, member: 2262"] Colorful added a new motherboard to their lineup without making a big announcement. You can find the Battle-AX B850M-E WIFI V14 on their Chinese website right away. This microATX board measures 244 mm by 235 mm and works with AMD's Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 chips. The company built it around the AMD B850 chipset for budget-minded PC builders who want just the basics. The board includes two DDR5 memory slots that can handle up to 96 GB of memory. Each slot accepts a 48 GB stick and can reach 7600 MHz speeds when pushed beyond normal limits. You'll also find two M.2 slots for fast storage—one supports PCIe 5.0 x4, and the other runs at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds. For expansion cards, it offers a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot plus an extra PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. Internet connections come through a Realtek RTL8111K Gigabit Ethernet chip or the Intel AX200 wireless module. The wireless setup gives you Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 capabilities. The design keeps things simple with a plain black circuit board and uses a single 8-pin EPS plug for CPU power. You won't find any extra cooling for voltage regulators, just a basic heatsink covering the AMD B850 chipset. The power system uses a straightforward 7+2 phase design that perfectly fits cheaper builds. The back panel includes an old-school PS/2 port for keyboard or mouse lovers. Next to this sits six USB ports—four USB 2.0 and two faster USB 3.2 Gen 1 connections. Display options include both DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 outputs. The panel also features a network jack, two spots for Wi-Fi antennas, standard audio connections, and a handy BIOS reset button for fixing problems. [/QUOTE]
