Regular HotHardware readers will of course be aware of Colorful’s Colorfire Meow series of components, as we’ve covered them before. However, the series had been limited to Intel processors until now. With the release of the Colorfire B650M-MEOW WiFi, AMD fans can also enjoy the quirky, cat-themed aesthetics of the Meow series.
Other notable features include Realtek-powered 2.5G Ethernet, onboard Wi-Fi 6, and support for memory overclocking at least to 7600 MT/s. We’re not blown away by the 12+2+1 power phase with DrMOS 55A components, though. The USB connectivity is pretty modest, too; you get a 5-Gbps Type-C connector up front and just two 10G connectors in the back—no 20G or 40G USB to be found here.
Unfortunately for the author and most readers of this site, this motherboard probably isn’t going to be available in the US. Colorful components typically don’t find their way stateside as the company has no distributor in the US, and never has. However, if you can get your hands on one of these boards, it seems to fully support the English language, so there shouldn’t be any problem using it.
