ASUS TUF B450-PRO Gaming, AMD B450 Motherboard - Socket AM4 [90MB10C0-M0EAY0]

B450 motherboards support all the features of the second-generation Ryzen processors, such as the new overclocking feature XFR2. In addition, the motherboards support up to 64 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock speed of 2,666 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 TUF B450-PRO Gaming at a glance:
- 2x PCIe 3.0 / 2.0 x16 (x16 / x4) for high-end graphics cards
- 2x USB 3.1 / 1x USB 3.0 Type C / 4x USB 3.0 / 6x USB 2.0
- 2x M.2 (PCIe 3.0x4 & SATA6G / PCIe 2.0x4 & SATA6G) / 6x SATA 6G
- DDR4 memory up to 3.533 MHz using OC

The features of the ASUS TUF B450-PRO Gaming in detail:
The ASUS TUF B450-PRO Gaming ATX motherboard features a PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connectivity for graphics cards and a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot connected to four lanes. For additional expansion cards, the motherboard provides three PCIe x1 slots. The four RAM banks support up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory with a clock rate of up to 2,666 megahertz and can even handle clock rates of up to 3,533 MHz via OC.

Two M.2 slots are provided by this AM4 motherboard. Both slots are connected with four PCI Express lanes and the SATA6G protocol. One of the slots accepts plug-in cards up to 110 mm (22110). M.2 SSDs with the 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.

The ASUS TUF B450-PRO Gaming provides a Type-C USB 3.0 port on the I / O panel and two USB 3.1 Type A ports. The USB Type-C port can be plugged on both sides, is particularly thin, and USB ports with this standard usually support the fast charging function of smartphones and tablets. USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbps per port. CPUs with integrated graphics such as AMD's Raven Ridge APUs have HDMI and DVI ports.

The special features of the ASUS TUF B450-PRO Gaming include two RGB LED lighting zones that can be synchronized with RGB components via the Aura Sync software. For this purpose, the mainboard has two headers for static RGB LEDs.
