## Description

Combining a high-end feature set and futuristic aesthetics, the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming Motherboard (Wi-Fi) is custom built for performance gaming. This ASUS motherboard is compatible with 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen CPUs, offering world-class desktop speeds to gamers, with support for dual channel DDR4 memory up to 128 GB. Two M.2 slots, including the latest PCIe 4.0, utilize the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen platform provide to maximum storage flexibility and the fastest data speeds available, with both M.2 slots supporting up to the type 22110 socket and NVM Express RAID to deliver a boost in a performance. Onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet delivers speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, lag-free gaming, and high-res video streaming, while onboard WiFi 6 (802.11ax) supports ultrafast wireless-networking speeds, improved capacity, and better performance in dense wireless environments. The B550 motherboard is powered by 12+2 DrMOS power stages, with high-quality alloy chokes and durable capacitors to provide reliable power for the latest high-core-count AMD CPUs. The Fanless VRM and chipset heatsinks with ASUS Stack Cool 3+ design keep your system running reliably under heavy loads by enhancing passive cooling capacity for critical onboard components. Cyberpunk-inspired aesthetics including the distorted ROG eye logo and recessed cybertext patterning etched on the I/O shroud make this AMD Ryzen motherboard a striking centerpiece for your dream build.

Review: Great for the Price Point - Pros: * Fanless VRM has me holding doubts on some overclocking potential, but if that's not your bag, then this is great. Huge heatsink may make up for it. * 2.5gb LAN is a great selling point, but most people won't utilize it. That being said, the WiFi6 is a fantastic addition, and the WiFi antenna is magnetic, so it's easy to hide it away. The magnet was in a weird spot, though. I figured it'd try to run flush instead of jutting out. * 2 M.2 slots, both with heat sinks (1 pci4.0 of course), so that's good. Should be the standard. * Non-standard windows drivers for networking, so be sure to have your usb drive ready on install * 12+2 power stages on a 6-layer PCB. That alone says a lot. Shouuuuuld be a relatively decent overclocker and with reliable performance. * BIOS flashback is great! USB 2.0 for reliability. * The "FlexKey" (reinforced pci-e slot) is great in the age of 5lb graphics cards. * Onboard light indicators for boot errors - saved me some time and googling for what the hell the beeps could mean like on my older boards. Turned out I didn't push my graphics card in all the way, and my instinct was RAM. * Much better design than previous boards. More minimalist and less in your face than other 'gamer' boards. * Thunderbolt 3 header (All modern boards better have this, especially at this price) * Attached IO shield, adds the premium feel. Like you're out of the bush leagues. * My 14CL 3200mhz ram was instant compatible oob, and I've pushed it to 3400mhz with almost no problems. Any further and no post. Probably have to sacrifice the timings a good bit to hit any higher, but mine is rated for 3200 so no complaints. Cons: * Would be nice if the boot error light indicators was replaced with a post-code lcd indicator, though. For $200, that's pretty normal to see an lcd, and is pretty frustrating it's not there. 1st world problem, though. * Sucks that this doesn't have a network option in the bios for updating the bios like the B350-f and b450-f did. Not the most secure method, but certainly convenient to have. * I don't use a speaker system or any analogue headphones, so the marketing material over the built in DAC is pretty irrelevant to me... Can't confirm if it's worth a damn, and most people likely use usb audio (don't @me, audiophiles), so probably could have saved $30+ just keeping that simple. Real audiophiles use high end sound cards to minimize interference coming from the motherboard.... Waste of money and marketing to add that I'd say. * Much better boards just $80-$140 more. This one is just appealing enough to keep me away from the x570s, but lacks some features I envy on the higher end boards. UNFORGIVABLE: THE DAMN THING WAS SHIPPED IN THE ROG STRIX BOX AND JUST LEFT ON MY PORCH EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER AND THE VAGRANTS OF THE WORLD. LOOK AT THE BOX. IT HAS REFLECTIVE HOLOGRAPHIC TEXT AND SAYS FREAKING ****GAMING**** ON IT. WHY SHIP IT IN THAT AND DOOR-DROP?!?! Plus the damn box got dinged to hell and back, and I'm suspicious the board may have been damaged. Thankfully Asus knows how to package their boards, but lord, desertcart. This is the first thing I've ever gotten from you guys without a warning that it'd be shipped in the standard box. I'm a geek. I display my boxes in a tech collection. I don't want my $200+ stuff damaged, at risk of being stolen, or have their boxes covered in shipping label residue just so you can save $0.10 on cardboard and $0.05 on packing fillers. Do yourselves a favor and order it from Newegg. My 3060ti and 5600x came independent of each other from Newegg, but were packed on clouds plucked from Heaven. Not a ding on them anywhere.
Review: I shockingly don't hate Armoury Crate - When I read that somehow ASUS was slipstreaming their Armoury Crate utility into fresh W10 installations on ROG boards I was a bit skeptical about motherboard software bloat. To this day I have no idea how they've managed it. But it actually made my life incredibly simple when getting this new box up and running. On first boot I was prompted to click a button to install Armoury Crate and the LAN driver straight from some repository on the mobo itself. On second boot I was presented with a list of all the other drivers and utilities I would have otherwise had to hunt down on the ASUS site or download ahead of time. No more digging through terrible manufacturer web portals, I guess. It just worked and it took zero time to get the basic installations up and running. The board itself is also decent. It has plenty of VRM heatsink performance, enough USB options. Two m.2 slots is fine for B550 I think, and the m.2 heatsinks are pretty nice. No onboard chipset fan is a positive. The wifi was picking up my network signal before I even screwed in the antenna. The built-in backplate is super solid and was useful as a grip when installing the board. I wish there was maybe one more chassis fan connector (there's only 3 for the chassis, everything else is for pumps and CPU stuff) but I don't think it's a huge deal since you're not buying a B550 board for a 9-fan case...and if you are it probably comes with a fan controller anyway. The software is okay-ish. AI Suite is the same as it's always been. I don't like the Realtek software or the virtual mixer that comes with it, but it sounds fine enough for onboard. Armoury Crate is the star of the show, and that alone is worth the 5th star.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How are the sata controllers on this board? will i be able to use the m.2 and then use m.1 ssds and an hdd connected via sata?**
A: I have this board. And have two Samsung 980 pro ssd. Installed. And also have 4 3.5 hard drives installed also. Using both m.2 slots only disables 5&6 sata ports

**Q: Es compatible con ryzen 7 5800x?**
A: Si, es compatible.

**Q: I keep hearing wifi doesnt work right out of the box and you need to download drivers? Would i have to buy an individual usb wifi to get them download**
A: Wi-Fi did not work out of the box for me. I needed to download Armory Crate to install drivers that included Wifi, Lan, Bluetooth, Chipset, etc. Either connect it to ethernet and download Armory or have the exe on a thumb drive ready to transfer onto your local drive. Side note: installing drivers from Ausus' site separately for Win 11 wasn't working, which is why Armory-Crate is my suggesting.

**Q: Can it fit in a micro atx case**
A: No. It's a midsized mobo.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ASUS Favorite motherboard!!
*by E***Z on January 23, 2021*

Very nice gaming board, for an entry-level price you will get a lot. The feature that makes me like the board the most is the sound DAC. The sound is great coming from a 180 dollar board. The aura sync working fine, just needed some tweaking. The only downside is no TPM header. The Armoury Crate software is a nice touch to work with the RGB settings. There are quite a few options to customize your RGB experience. For M2 SSD there are small screw adapters in the box to adjust the M2 position. Great motherboard! I thought I purchased the 550 F with the built in WiFi but.No issues worked the first time I boot it up and it runs perfectly fine I'm using a ryzen 9 and an RTX 2080 super and Corsair Ram everything work fine 👍 highly recommend
