Boasting futuristic aesthetics and intuitive ROG software, ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II gives you a head start on your dream build.

ADVANCE YOUR GAMING IMMERSION
ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II is PCIe® 4.0-ready and provides the latest connectivity options for supersmooth networking and blisteringly fast file transfers. Audio enhancements give you a massive advantage, allowing you to pick up on the subtlest of cues for a completely immersive gaming experience.

PCIE 4.0-READY
ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II features two M.2 slots, one of which supports the PCIe 4.0 standard to provide maximum storage flexibility and the lightning-fast data speeds. Both M.2 slots support up to the type 22110 socket and NVM Express® RAID for a performance boost.

WiFi 6E
Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. It delivers ultrafast wireless networking speeds and improved capacity as well as better performance in dense wireless environments.
*WiFi 6E availability and features are dependent on regulatory limitations and co-existence with 5 GHz WiFi.

Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet
Onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, lag-free gaming, and high-res video streaming.

SUPREMEFX
Built-in ROG SupremeFX audio technology ensures pristine audio for ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II. Along with ensuring a flat frequency response for a neutral, detailed sound signature, it offers two front-panel outputs driven by op amps that deliver high-quality audio to gaming headsets.

ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE
ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II provides robust power delivery to fuel Ryzen’s 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.

COOLER BY DESIGN
ROG Strix B550 series features the most comprehensive cooling options ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.

ASUS OptiMem II
To provide AMD's latest CPUs unfettered access to memory bandwidth, motherboard trace routing has been reimagined with the ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II. Integrated OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across PCB layers to reduce vias, and it also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. To further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations, a highly customized Daisy Chain layout delivers time-aligned signaling.

PLAY YOUR OWN STYLE
The cyberpunk-inspired aesthetics of ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II 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.

They also feature built-in ASUS Aura technology that enables full RGB lighting control and a variety of presets for embedded RGB LEDs as well as lighting strips connected to onboard RGB headers. In addition, all lighting can be easily synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.

PRE-MOUNTED I/O SHIELD
Patented I/O shield is finished in sleek matte black and comes pre-mounted to make it easy to install on the motherboard.

Four onboard LEDs indicate power status, and any problem with the CPU, memory, graphics card or boot device for quick diagnosis.

CERTIFIED COMPATIBILITY
ROG Strix motherboards undergo an extensive certification program to ensure the very best compatibility with the widest range of components and devices.
