ASUS ROG STRIX B550-E Gaming Motherboard

The ROG STRIX B550-E Gaming delivers high-performance connectivity and robust power delivery for AMD Ryzen processors. Built on the AMD B550 chipset with AM4 socket compatibility, this ATX motherboard bridges the gap between enthusiast-grade features and competitive pricing.

PCIe 4.0 Ready Performance

Experience doubled bandwidth with PCIe 4.0 support on both graphics and storage. Two M.2 slots with integrated heatsinks ensure your NVMe SSDs maintain optimal temperatures during intensive workloads. The motherboard supports up to 128GB of DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots, with overclocking capabilities reaching 5100MHz for maximum system responsiveness.

Advanced Networking

Intel WiFi 6 AX200 delivers 2x2 802.11ax wireless connectivity with support for 1024QAM, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO technologies across dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. The Intel I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet controller with LANGuard protection provides wired networking that's 2.5 times faster than standard gigabit connections. Bluetooth 5.1 rounds out the wireless capabilities.

Comprehensive Cooling and Power

Teamed power stages with ProCool power connectors, high-quality alloy chokes, and durable capacitors deliver stable power to demanding Ryzen CPUs. Multiple fan headers including CPU, CPU_OPT, three chassis fans, and an AIO_PUMP connector provide flexible cooling configurations. The pre-mounted I/O shield simplifies installation.

SupremeFX Audio

The S1220A codec delivers 7.1-channel high-definition audio with DTS Sound Unbound support. AI Noise-Canceling Microphone technology filters background noise during communication. An audio USB Type-C port on the rear panel provides direct connectivity for compatible headsets.

Expansion and Storage

Three PCIe x16 slots support NVIDIA 2-Way SLI and AMD 3-Way CrossFireX multi-GPU configurations. Six SATA III ports complement the dual M.2 slots for extensive storage expansion. RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations are supported. USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports on both rear I/O and front panel header deliver 10Gbps transfer speeds.

Aura Sync RGB

Onboard RGB lighting synchronizes with compatible components through ASUS Aura Sync. Dedicated headers for standard RGB strips and addressable Gen 2 RGB devices allow comprehensive lighting customization across your entire build.

DIY-Friendly Features

BIOS FlashBack button enables BIOS updates without CPU or memory installed. The Q-Code display provides real-time POST code readouts for troubleshooting. FlexKey allows customization of a dedicated function button. Intuitive UEFI BIOS and AI Networking software simplify configuration.
