The features of the ASUS TUF B450M-PRO Gaming in detail:
The ASUS TUF B450M-PRO Gaming ATX motherboard features PCI Express 3.0 slots with full x16 connectivity for graphics cards plus a four-lane PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. For additional expansion cards, the motherboard provides a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot. 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 the AM4 motherboard. Both slots are connected with four PCI Express lanes and accept cards up to 80 mm (2280) and are additionally connected with the SATA6G protocol. 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.
Modern connections and RGB LED lighting

The ASUS TUF B450M-PRO Gaming features a Type-C USB 3.0 port on the I / O panel, two Type-A female USB 3.0 ports (blue), and one USB 3.1 type -A connector and two USB 2.0 (type A) connectors ready. 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 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbps per port. CPUs with integrated graphics such as AMD's Raven Ridge APUs have HDMI and DVI-D ports.

A special feature of the ASUS TUF B450M-PRO Gaming is the RGB illumination, which can be synchronized with other RGB components via the Aura Sync software. The motherboard has two 4-pin RGB headers for this purpose.
