Features:
Ready for Advanced AI PC: Designed for the future of AI computing, with the power and connectivity needed for demanding AI applications
AMD AM4 Socket: Ready for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series/ 5000 G-Series/ 4000 G-Series/ 3000 Series Desktop Processors
Ultrafast Connectivity: PCIe 4.0, dual M.2 slots, Realtek 1Gb Ethernet, rear USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and front USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C
Comprehensive Cooling: PCH heatsink, hybrid fan headers and Fan Xpert 2+
Aura Sync RGB Lighting: Onboard Addressable Gen 2 headers for RGB LED strips, easily synced with Aura Sync-capable hardware.
Flexibility:
Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS PRIME series. The PRIME B550 motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling performance tweaks to perfectly match the way you work to maximize productivity.
All-Around Energy Efficiency:
With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU), you‘ll enjoy system-wide power savings.The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode.
Cooling:
PRIME B550 series are engineered with an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.
Multiple Temperature Sources:
Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
Dual M.2 Slots (up to 64 Gbps):
PRIME B550M-K ARGB offers a total of two M.2 slots, one of which supports data-transfer speeds of up to 64Gbps* via PCIe 4.0, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
* Actual transmission speeds will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
* Only AMD Ryzen 5000 Series/ 3000 Series Desktop Processors support PCIe 4.0 mode.
Aura Sync:
A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers — and it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
