Product Description

Description

Get the most performance out of your small factor computer build by installing the ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WIFI II AM4 Micro-ATX Motherboard as its foundation. Featuring the AMD B550 chipset, this micro-ATX motherboard supports AMD 5000, 4000, and 3000 series desktop processors with the AM4 socket. You can install up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR4-4866 ECC memory, and two M.2 PCIe solid-state drives. Combined with a PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion card, your system may be outfitted to smoothly handle a variety of demanding task, ranging from high-resolution games to 8K video editing, 3D modeling, and more.

Connect compatible high-speed devices such as external storage drives to the rear panel’s USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 1 ports while reserving the USB 2.0 ports for peripherals such as mice and keyboards. With built-in Wi-Fi 6 support and a 2.5G Ethernet port, you can connect to compatible network devices and enjoy low-latency online gaming performance, smooth 4K video streaming, and fast file transfers. You can customize your computer to match your style, mood, and game by installing LED lighting strips and peripherals using the addressable RGB headers and syncing them with Aura Sync compatible peripherals. The TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WIFI II motherboard requires Windows 10 or 11 to take advantage of all its features.

General

Electrical Performance

The 8+2 DrMOS power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package while the integrated Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers clean power to the CPU. The 2 oz copper layers help draw heat away from critical components to maintain optimal performance, and the military-grade chokes and durable capacitors provide enhanced system stability.

Enhanced Cooling

A large VRM heatsink and thermal pad efficiently dissipates heat from key components. The M.2 SSD slots have dedicated heatsinks to help avoid speed throttling. Use the Fan Xpert 2+ utility’s comprehensive fan and water pump controls to fine-tune performance.

Storage and Memory

  • One PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot is available alongside a PCIe 3.0 slot, supporting up to type 2280 NVMe PCIe and SATA SSDs
  • Four SATA III ports are available for hard drives and 2.5″ SSDs
  • Supports RAID 0, 1, and 10
  • Up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR4-4866 (OC) ECC memory can be installed across four slots

PCIe Expansion Slots

  • 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot
  • 2 x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots

Rear Panel USB Connectivity

  • 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gb/s)
  • 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gb/s)

Fast Networking

Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 allows to transfer up to 2.4 Gb/s with compatible devices. The Wi-Fi module also supports pairing with Bluetooth devices. A 2.5G Ethernet port is available for wired network connections.

TUF Protection

SafeSlot

This PCIe slot is engineered to provide enhanced retention and shearing resistance. SafeSlot integrates fortifying metal for a stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

ESD Guards

SD Guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10 kV of air discharge and +/- 6 kV of contact discharge.

TUF LANGuard

TUF LANGuard offers military-grade Ethernet port protection by integrating advanced signal-coupling technology and surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput, protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static electricity.

DRAM Overvoltage Protection

Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of your system and connected devices.

Stainless-Steel Back I/O Panel

TUF Gaming motherboards have a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back I/O panel bonded with chromium oxide to provide a 3X-longer lifespan versus traditional panels. With this protective feature, TUF Gaming motherboards passed 72-hour salt fog testing.

Enhanced Gaming

Immersive Sound

This motherboard includes Realtek 7.1-channel high-definition audio, providing crystal clear 24-bit, 192 kHz playback. Connect your speakers using the 3.5mm audio jacks or S/PDIF port.

Clear Communication

Integrated two-way AI noise cancellation helps to ensure clear online voice and video chats.

RGB Lighting

Connect, customize, and control equipment such as LED light strips with the onboard RGB and addressable RGB gen 2 header to create dazzling effects that can be synchronized with ASUS Aura Sync compatible peripherals such as keyboards, mice, monitors, and more.
