PCIe 4.0-Ready
ROG Strix B550-A Gaming features two M.2 slots, one of which supports the latest PCIe 4.0 standard to provide maximum storage flexibility and the fastest data speeds available via the 3 Gen AMD Ryzen platform. Both M.2 slots support up to the type 22110 socket and NVM Express RAID for a performance boost.

All-round Performance
ROG Strix B550-A Gaming provides robust power delivery to fuel Ryzens cores, comprehensive cooling, and support for faster memory - so it has everything you need to load up your build with high-performance components for playing in the big leagues.

POWER DESIGN
Digital power control and an array of power stages ensure ROG Strix B550-A Gaming has the muscle to control the latest AMD CPUs.

PROCOOL POWER CONNECTOR
The ProCool socket is built to exacting specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines, enabling lower impedance and better heat dissipation.

DIGI+ POWER CONTROL
ASUS DIGI+ Power Control is an innovative set of controllers for digital VRM and DRAM Voltage. These controllers offer ultra precise memory and voltage tuning for optimal system efficiency, stability and performance.

TEAMED POWER STAGES
12+2 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the AMD CPUs demand.

ALLOY CHOKE & CAPACITOR
Superior chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures and provide up to 110% better performance than the industry standard.

6-LAYER PCB
The 6-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around the VRM to improve overall system stability and give the CPU more overclocking headroom.

Play Your Own Style
The cyberpunk-inspired aesthetics of ROG Strix B550-A Gaming are accentuated by the bold slashes and cybertext. By pairing your rig with other products from the diverse ROG ecosystem, you can create a fully customized gaming setup that reflects your personal style.

UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX
Finished in stunning white and silver, and featuring the redesigned ROG logo and recessed cybertext markings on its I/O shroud, ROG Strix B550-A Gaming is an eye-catcher. These new design touches move ROG Strix boldly towards the future, while clearly reflecting its gaming roots.

ROG Gives You More
ROG-exclusive software utilities deliver intuitive audio tuning and gaming enhancements that allow you to configure your gaming build the way you want.
