ASUS ROG Strix B550-XE Gaming Wifi, AMD B550 Motherboard - Socket AM4 [90MB17B0-M0EAY0]

B550 mainboards support all features of the Ryzen processors of the third and fourth generation, above all the PCI Express standard in version 4.0 (PCIe 4.0). PCIe 4.0 is downward compatible and can be used with all expansion cards from previous generations. In addition, the mainboards support up to 128 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock rate of 3200 megahertz. With overclocking, significantly higher clock rates are possible, depending on the motherboard. The B550 chipset also allows the processor to be overclocked.
Note: The following specifications regarding the PCIe lanes, connection of the M.2 slots and connection of the PCIe slots relate to the combination of the B550 chipset with a third or fourth generation Ryzen CPU (Zen 2 "Matisse" / Zen 3 "Vermeer")! A BIOS update may be required to use a Ryzen 5000 processor. This can be done by our King Mod Service on request.
