The ASUS PRIME Pro WS B850M-ACE SE is a compact, micro ATX motherboard for AMD's AM5 socket Ryzen processors. While it lacks some of the expansion capacity that a larger motherboard offers, it still supports up to 256GB of DDR5 memory and multiple SATA and M.2 drives. Two PCI-Express slots are also present, with one supporting full 5.0 x16 speed for a video card and the other at 4.0 x4 for small expansion cards.

For external connectivity, this board has basic analog audio outputs, 10Gb & 2.5Gb Ethernet, and six USB ports of varying size and speed. There are also HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for use with the graphics built into AMD's Ryzen processors, though most users will want to add a dedicated video card for improved performance. One of the more unique features this board offers is onboard remote management (IPMI) with a dedicated Ethernet port and accompanying VGA output.
