Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming AM4 ATX Motherboard

The ASUS ROG Strix B550-A Gaming is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD B550 chipset for the AM4 socket. It provides native support for a range of processors, including the AMD Ryzen 3000, 4000G, and 5000 series. A primary feature of this platform is its implementation of PCIe 4.0, which offers increased bandwidth for the main graphics card slot and one M.2 storage drive. The board integrates a power delivery system designed to supply consistent voltage to multi-core CPUs, ensuring stable operation under load.

System memory is accommodated by four dual-channel DDR4 DIMM slots, which support a maximum capacity of 128 GB and overclocked speeds up to 4600 MHz. Its storage architecture includes two M.2 slots alongside six SATA III ports, with functionality for RAID 0, 1, and 10 arrays for data redundancy or performance. For connectivity, the motherboard features a 2.5GbE LAN port for high-speed wired networking and an integrated ROG SupremeFX S1220A 8-channel audio codec for audio output.
