DrMOS File

The VRM built into the TUF Gaming B550-PLUS WIFI II uses 8+2 drMOS power phases that combine MOSFETs and high-side and low-side drivers in one package, delivering all the power and efficiency required by AMD Ryzen 3rd generation processors.

Effective Cooling

1. VRM HEATSINK

VRM HEATSINK A large high-mass heat sink with a large surface covering VRM and overheating areas to improve heat dissipation.

THERMAL PAD

A high-quality thermal pad helps transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heat sink.

2. M.2 DISSIPATORS

The M.2 heatsink keeps the M.2 SSD at the optimal operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

PCIe 4.0 M.2 (up to 64 Gbps)

TUF Gaming B550 series motherboards feature PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots providing NVMe SSD RAID support for an incredible performance boost. Create a RAID configuration with two PCIe 4.0 M.2s to take advantage of data transfer rates of AMD Ryzen 3rd Gen processors.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A & Type-C

Numerous USB ports support the many peripherals usually connected to high-end rigs. A rear panel with USB Type-A connectors with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity for compatible devices is also included.

Support for Thunderbolt 3

An integrated Thunderbolt 3 connector supports up to 40 Gbps of aggregate interface bandwidth. A Thunderbolt 3 port can support up to six cascading devices and provide up to 15 watts of power to fast-charging devices.

SafeSlot

SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and designed to provide superior grip and resistance to damage. Made in one step using a new insertion-molding process, SafeSlot employs reinforced metal to create an intrinsically stronger structure that is then securely anchored to the PCB through additional welding points.

Flashback BIOS

BIOS Flashback is the easiest and most secure BIOS update method (UEFI). Simply copy the UEFI BIOS file to a FAT32 formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB Flashback port and press the button. Updates can also be run without memory or CPU installed.

WiFi 6

The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible value of as much as 2.4 Gbps. The most important thing for end users is optimization for efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to take full advantage of the network’s potential.

AI Noise-Canceling Microphone

AI Noise-Canceling software supports 3.5mm headphones, USB or Bluetooth. The utility leverages a deep-learning database to preserve the sound of your voice by eliminating keyboard noise, mouse clicks, and other ambient noises, ensuring minimal impact on gaming performance.
