ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming Motherboard, Socket AM4, AMD B550, ATX, DDR4

The B550 chipset is the heart of the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming 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, making it usable with expansion cards from earlier 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 ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming:

• 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 5,100 MHz with OC
• Ideal for AMD Ryzen 3000 and Ryzen 5000 series (Matisse/Vermeer)
• RGB lighting with ASUS Aura Sync

Detailed Specifications of the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming:

The ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming is an ATX motherboard with a PCI Express 4.0 slot offering full x16 connectivity and a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot with four lanes for graphics cards. For additional expansion cards, the motherboard includes three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. The four RAM slots support up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory with clock rates of up to 3,200 MHz and can be overclocked to up to 5,100 MHz.

There are two M.2 slots for drives up to 110 mm (22110). One slot is connected to the processor via four PCI Express lanes and supports PCIe 4.0 as well as 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 RGB LED Lighting

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

Additional features include a 2.5-Gigabit LAN port (Intel I225-V), on-board sound (ROG SupremeFX S1220A audio codec), reinforced PCIe slots, and numerous internal headers. The motherboard also includes overclocking features, diagnostic LEDs, and optimized power delivery.

A standout feature of the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming is its RGB lighting, which can be synchronized with other RGB components via the manufacturer's software. The motherboard includes two 4-pin RGB headers and one 3-pin RGB header. Additionally, six fans can be connected directly to the board.
