Cooling
- 1. VRM Heatsink
A large, high-mass heatsink with an extended surface area that covers the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation.
- Thermal Pad
High-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.
- 2. M.2 Heatsink
The M.2 heatsink keeps the M.2 SSD at the optimal operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.
PCIe 4.0 M.2 (up to 64 Gbps)
The TUF Gaming B550M series motherboards support PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots and provide NVMe SSD RAID support for incredible performance boosts. Create a RAID configuration with up to PCIe 4.0 storage device to enjoy the fastest data transfer speeds on the AMD Ryzen 5000 Series/ 3000 Series processor platform.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A & Type-C
Numerous USB ports support gaming rigs loaded with peripherals, including one USB Type-A port and one Type-C port with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity.
Easy to Build
TUF Gaming motherboards are designed to be easy to install and configure exactly the way you want, even for beginners. The TUF Gaming Alliance ecosystem makes it easy to choose compatible components, while the Armoury Crate software offers full control of system settings through a single dashboard. TUF Gaming motherboards provide you with everything you need to build the gaming machine of your dreams without adding complexity.
TUF Gaming Alliance
The TUF Gaming Alliance is a collaboration between ASUS and trusted PC component brands to ensure compatibility with a wide range of parts, such as PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers, memory kits, and more. With more partnerships and components being added regularly, the TUF Gaming Alliance will continue to grow even further.
SafeSlot
SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and designed to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured through a new insert molding process, SafeSlot integrates reinforcing metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB board through additional solder points.
ESD Guards
ESD Guards extend the lifespan of components while preventing damage from electrostatic discharges, providing protection for air discharges up to +/- 10 kV and for contact discharges up to +/- 6 kV - far exceeding the respective industry standards of +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV.
BIOS FlashBack
BIOS FlashBack is the simplest and safest method of updating the BIOS (UEFI). Simply place the (UEFI) BIOS file on a FAT32-formatted USB stick, connect it to the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can be performed even without memory or a CPU installed.
Armoury Crate
Armoury Crate is a new software utility designed to give you centralized control of supported gaming products. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate allows you to easily customize the RGB lighting and effects for every compatible device in your arsenal and synchronize them with Aura Sync for unique system lighting effects. You can also enable the Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation feature for crystal-clear in-game voice communication. Armoury Crate even includes dedicated product registration and news areas to help you stay in touch with the gaming community.
The TUF Gaming B550M-Plus WIFI II provides a comprehensive high-performance gaming package with a long list of features that enhance your experience, such as ultra-fast networking for smoother online gameplay, flawless audio with positional cues for FPS games, and built-in RGB lighting that syncs with attached accessories to help you create a personalized gaming atmosphere.
WiFi 6
The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and increases the theoretical maximum bandwidth to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it is optimized for more efficient operation in busy networks with a lot of competitive traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully enjoy the networking capabilities of WiFi 6.
Bidirectional AI Noise Cancellation
The AI bidirectional noise cancellation software is exclusively available on ASUS motherboards and supports 3.5 mm, USB, or Bluetooth headsets. The utility leverages a vast deep learning database to maintain the sound of your voice while eliminating keyboard clatter, mouse clicks, and other forms of environmental noise. It also places minimal load on the CPU, ensuring minimal impact on gaming performance.
Aura Sync RGB
A well-tuned system deserves a corresponding aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full control of RGB lighting with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LED lights as well as for the strips connected to the built-in RGB headers. And all of this can be synchronized with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
