The features of the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming in detail:
The ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming is an ATX motherboard and has a PCI Express 4.0 slot with full x16 connection plus a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot with four lanes for graphics cards. The motherboard provides three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for additional expansion cards. The four RAM banks support up to 128 GB DDR4 RAM with a clock rate of up to 3200 megahertz and can even handle clock rates up to 5100 MHz via OC.

The AM4 mainboard provides two M.2 slots for drives up to 110 mm in length (22110). One slot is connected to the processor with four PCI Express lanes and supports PCIe 4.0 and SATA 6G. The second M.2 slot is connected to the chipset with four PCI Express lanes and supports PCIe 3.0 and SATA 6G. Six SATA 6G connectors are also provided.

Modern connections and RGB LED lighting
The ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming provides a USB 3.1 port with a Type-C socket, a USB 3.1 port with a Type-A port and four USB 3.0 ports with a type on the I / O panel -A socket and two USB 2.0 ports (type A) ready. An HDMI and a DisplayPort connection are available for CPUs with an integrated graphics unit such as AMD's Picasso APUs.

This B550 motherboard also offers features such as a 2.5 gigabit LAN port (Intel I225-V), on-board sound (ROG SupremeFX S1220A audio codec), reinforced PCIe slots and numerous internal headers. Also on Bo (a) rd are OC features, diagnostic LEDs and an optimized power supply.

A special feature of the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming is the RGB lighting, which can be synchronized with other RGB components via the manufacturer's software. The mainboard has two 4-pin RGB headers and two 3-pin RGB headers. Furthermore, six fans can be connected directly to the board.
