Powered by the AMD B550 chipset, this motherboard supports third-generation AMD Ryzen processors with the AM4 socket for high-end gaming and content creation. The chipset is designed to take full advantage of the PCIe 4.0 data bandwidth to handle demanding tasks such as 4K live streaming, video editing, or gaming at high settings. Up to 128GB of dual-channel ECC DDR4 RAM, reaching speeds of 5100 MHz when overclocked, can be installed across the four memory slots to improve your system's multitasking capabilities and speed. This motherboard also supports two M.2 SSDs and six SATA III storage drives, which can be put into RAID 0, 1, or 10 configurations. The PCIe 4.0 x16 and PCIe 3.0 x16 slots can accommodate a discrete GPU, or you can take advantage of AMD Ryzen processors with integrated graphics by connecting a display to the motherboard's DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.1 ports.
Connect peripherals such as mice and keyboards the USB 2.0 Type-A ports while using the USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports for transferring data from external drives at speeds up to 10 Gb/s. This motherboard also features onboard Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, providing you with high speeds for online gaming, 4K streaming, or live stream broadcasting. Additionally, this motherboard features addressable Gen 2 Aura Sync RGB lighting headers and SupremeFX S1220A 7.1-channel audio. This motherboard is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit.
Advance Your Gaming Immersion

Storage and Memory
PCIe 4.0-Ready
This motherboard features two M.2 slots, one of which supports the PCIe 4.0 standard to provide maximum storage flexibility and lightning-fast data speeds. Both M.2 slots support up to the type 22110 socket and NVM Express RAID for a performance boost.
ASUS OptiMem II
The trace layout technology from ASUS OptiMem II allows memory kits to operate and high frequencies and low voltages to maximize performance.
RAMCache III
RAMCache III software turns milliseconds into microseconds to boost game-load times. Fully compatible with NVM Express storage options, it effectively caches an entire storage device so that favorite games and apps launch at fast speeds.
Enhanced Cooling
Cooler by Design
The motherboard features cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 4 software or via the UEFI BIOS. With Fan Xpert 4, you can map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks. The ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II also features a dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups and onboard chassis headers supporting PWM and DC control.
VRM Heatsinks and Thermal Pad
The MOS heatsink provides a large contact area for MOSFETs and chokes, while the high-quality thermal pad helps transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.
M.2 Heatsink
The two M.2 NVMe slots are covered by heatsinks which keep the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.
Networking Performance
Wi-Fi 6 and Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet
The onboard Wi-Fi 6E technology takes advantage of the radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. It delivers fast wireless networking speeds and improved capacity as well as better performance in dense wireless environments. Additionally, the onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, lag-free gaming, and high-res video streaming.
Electrical Performance
DIGI+ Power Control
ASUS DIGI+ Power Control is an innovative set of controllers for digital VRM and DRAM Voltage. These controllers offer ultra-precise memory and voltage tuning for optimal system efficiency, stability and performance.
Teamed Power Stages
12+2 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest AMD CPUs demand.
Audio
SupremeFX
Built-in ROG SupremeFX audio technology ensures pristine audio for the ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II. Along with ensuring a flat frequency response for a neutral, detailed sound signature, it offers two front-panel outputs driven by op amps that deliver high-quality audio to gaming headsets.
Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation
This powerful ASUS-exclusive utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks, and other ambient noises are removed so you can hear and be heard with clarity while gaming or during calls.
Sonic Studio III
Sonic Studio supports HRTF-based (head-related transfer function) virtual surround for VR headsets, casting an immersive aural landscape that draws you deeper into the action. The intuitive Sonic Studio interface also offers a range of EQ options and one-click presets, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the characteristics of your headset.
DTS Sound Unbound
ROG Strix B550 series motherboards are pre-loaded with the DTS Sound Unbound app that envelops you in audio as never before, conjuring whole new levels of immersion for gaming and entertainment experiences. By leveraging Windows sonic spatial technology, DTS Sound Unbound delivers audio in a virtual 3D space, putting you right in the middle of the soundscape.
