ASUS Prime B550-Plus Motherboard, Socket AM4, AMD B550, ATX, DDR4

The B550 chipset is the core of the ASUS Prime B550-PLUS motherboard, specifically optimized for Ryzen 3000 "Matisse" and Ryzen 5000 "Vermeer" CPUs. B550 motherboards support all features of third- and fourth-generation Ryzen processors, most notably the PCI Express 4.0 standard (PCIe 4.0). PCIe 4.0 is backward compatible and can be used with all expansion cards from previous generations. Additionally, these motherboards support up to 128 GB of memory with a guaranteed clock rate of 3,200 MHz. Depending on the motherboard, significantly higher clock rates can be achieved through overclocking, and the B550 chipset also allows for CPU overclocking.

Key Features of the ASUS Prime B550-PLUS:

• 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x16) and 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x4)
• 2x USB 3.1, 6x USB 3.0, and 6x USB 2.0
• 2x M.2 (1x PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA 6G, 1x PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA 6G) / 6x SATA 6G
• DDR4 memory up to 4,800 MHz with OC
• Ideal for AMD Ryzen 3000 and Ryzen 5000 series (Matisse/Vermeer)
• Support for ASUS Aura Sync

Detailed Specifications of the ASUS Prime B550-PLUS:

The ASUS Prime B550-PLUS is an ATX motherboard featuring a PCI Express 4.0 slot with full x16 connectivity and a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot with four lanes for graphics cards. For additional expansion cards, the motherboard provides three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. The four RAM slots support up to 128 GB DDR4 memory with a clock rate of up to 3,200 MHz and can be overclocked to up to 4,800 MHz.

The motherboard includes two M.2 slots for drives up to 110 mm in length (22110). One slot is connected to the processor via four PCI Express lanes, supporting PCIe 4.0 and SATA 6G. The second M.2 slot is connected to the chipset with four PCI Express lanes, supporting PCIe 3.0 and SATA 6G. Additionally, six SATA 6G ports are available.

Modern Connections and Aura Sync Support:

The ASUS Prime B550-PLUS features a USB 3.1 Type-C port, a USB 3.1 Type-A port, four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports on the I/O shield. For CPUs with integrated graphics, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs are available.

Additional features include a Gigabit LAN port (Realtek RTL8111H), onboard sound (Realtek ALC 887 audio codec), a reinforced PCIe slot for the graphics card, and numerous internal headers. The motherboard also offers overclocking features and diagnostic LEDs.

The ASUS Prime B550-PLUS supports the control and synchronization of RGB LED accessories via ASUS Aura Sync. It includes two 4-pin RGB headers and one 3-pin RGB header. Additionally, six fans can be directly connected to the board.
