New AMD B665 Workstation Boards Have CPU Sockets Rotated 90 Degrees

New AM5 Workstation B665 Motherboards w/ 90 degree socket

YouTuber Der8auer has shown off a pair of new AMD AM5-based B665 workstation motherboards featuring a 90-degree socket orientation, designed to improve airflow and improve compatibility with server-based CPU coolers and chassis. The two new boards are the Asus Pro WS B665-ACE and Asrock Rack B665 D4U1L.

We don't know anything about this new B665 socket, or much about these new boards in general. But Der8auer says these are value-oriented workstation motherboards, with a minimal amount of features. At the very least we know they will support AMD's 65W Ryzen 7000 series CPUs.
