ASUS STRIX B450-I Gaming, AMD B450 Motherboard, RoG - Socket AM4 [90MB0Z50-M0EAY0]

In addition, the motherboards support up to 64 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock speed of 2,933 megahertz. By means of overclocking, much higher clock rates are possible, depending on the motherboard, and the B450 chipset also enables overclocking of the processor.

The features of the ASUS STRIX B450-I gaming at a glance:
- 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16) for high-end graphics cards
- 2x USB 3.1 / 6x USB 3.0 / 2x USB 2.0
- 2x M.2 (PCIe 3.0x4) / 4x SATA 6G
- DDR4 memory up to 3,400 MHz using OC
- Intel ac WLAN with antennas & digital RGB header

The features of the ASUS STRIX B450-I Gaming in detail:
The ASUS STRIX B450-I gaming Mini-ITX motherboard features an extra PCI Express 3.0 full-x16 connector for powerful graphics cards. The two RAM banks support up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory with a clock rate of up to 2,933 megahertz and can even handle clock rates of up to 3,400 MHz via OC.

Two M.2 slots with PCIe connection are provided by the AM4 motherboard. One is connected to the chipset with four PCI Express lanes and the SATA6G transmission protocol, while the other offers only four PCIe lanes. M.2 SSDs with advanced NVM Express protocol (NVMe) and four PCI Express 3.0 lane connectivity are up to eight times faster than SATA 6G hard drives and support data transfer rates of up to 32 Gb / s. s. If a Raven Ridge APU with Vega graphics unit is operated on the board, the function of an M.2 slot is eliminated.

The ASUS STRIX B450-I Gaming provides two fast USB 3.1 ports on the I / O panel. USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbps per port, and USB ports with this standard typically support the quick-charging feature of smartphones and tablets. CPUs with integrated graphics such as AMD's Raven Ridge APUs have an HDMI port ready.

The special features of the ASUS STRIX B450-I Gaming include the ac WLAN module including antennas and Bluetooth 4.2 as well as an Aura Sync RGB lighting zone. In addition, the motherboard has a header for static and a header for addressable RGB elements.
