This PCIe expansion card integrates the AMD B650 chipset to offer multiple M.2 and USB-C

A couple of months ago we told you about the LEKUO PB65MX3 card, a curious device in the form of an expansion card that integrated a motherboard chipset directly into a PCIe card to add extra ports and storage to the computer. Following this same concept, the Chinese manufacturer JGINYUE has launched its own expansion card on the market based on the AMD B650 chipset.

The reason behind integrating a chipset like that is none other than having its own PCI-Express lines to be able to add extra M.2 ports.

It also includes a 4-pin connector and two spacers to be able to directly screw a 40mm fan on the card, although this fan is not included and the connector does not have PWM dynamic speed control.

In the corner of the board we also find a power connector for cable 6-pin PCIe, like the one used for many graphics cards. In this way, the USB ports can be powered so that they, in turn, power external devices.

In total, the card offers four M.2 slots for NVMe SSD drives, accompanied by a port USB-C 3.1 (3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps) on the rear support. The company has confirmed that a variant with USB 3.2 20Gbps, but for the moment the available model remains at 3.1.

Along with them, we also have two USB 3.0 (3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps) type A and one network port 2.5Gbps Ethernet.

The JGINYUE expansion card is available, at least for now, only for the Chinese market for a price that in direct exchange is equivalent to about 55 euros.
