AORUS B650E Tachyon: an AMD card!

0

Well, AORUS unveils its dedicated overclocking cards at the end of this year. After the Z790 Tachyon version that we presented, we learn that the B650E Tachyon is also ready for shipping. We knew that an AMD Tachyon version was in preparation but there was still a doubt about the chipset used, so it is indeed the B650E.

Like all Tachyon cards, this card with an AM5 socket and two memory slots is intended for overclockers . Thanks to the picture we received from Hi Cookie, we can already distinguish the buttons available to overclockers.

We will find in particular :

  • The Clear CMOS button: allows to clear the BIOS settings in order to return to the default ones.
  • The reset button: allows to restart the motherboard in case of failure.
  • The retry button: during cold tests, sometimes the OS freezes and a reset does not allow to restart the motherboard: only solution 6, 7 seconds by keeping the START button pressed. With the ReTry button, it restarts immediately.
  • The Q-Led: it displays a code corresponding to the component responsible for the error during the boot. It has a larger size than on the previous versions.
  • The voltage points : allows to measure voltages with a multimeter directly on the PCB.
  • The power button: allows to power on the motherboard.
  • The LIMP mode (the turtle): similar to the ” safe Boot ” at Asus, this button allows to restart the board even if the parameters chosen in the BIOS do not allow the Boot. This avoids having to do a CMOS Clear to reboot and thus lose your encoded settings. The card will then reboot with default settings.
  • The BLCK button : allows to increase or decrease directly the BCLK frequency
  • The TGR switch: a button a bit like the ” slow mode “, it will allow you to decrease the processor frequency and thus lower the CPU temperature before launching a benchmark and thus increase the chances that it will pass. You activate it, the temperature drops, you put it back in its original position just before launching your benchmark.

There are still two buttons near the voltage measurement points that we do not have or identify. We will of course try to get our hands on a copy of this AORUS B650E Tachyon.
