Versatile Storage and Expansion Options:

Dual M.2 Connectors for Fast Storage:

Storage options are robust, including two M.2 connectors. One M.2 slot (M2A_CPU), integrated with the CPU, supports PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 SSDs (for Ryzen 5000/3000 Series Processors) or PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 SSDs (for Ryzen 5000 G/4000 G/3000 G Series Processors). The second M.2 connector (M2B_SB), integrated with the Chipset, supports PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 SSDs. Additionally, there are 4 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors with support for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 for both NVMe and SATA storage devices. This provides ample, high-speed storage flexibility.

Durable PCIe 4.0 x16 Slot:

The motherboard features an Ultra Durable™ PCIe 4.0 Ready x16 Slot. This slot is reinforced with a one-piece stainless-steel shielding design. This enhances strength to support heavy graphics cards. It also includes 4 x PCI Express x16 slots (running at x1) for additional expansion. Therefore, you can confidently install high-end GPUs and other expansion cards.

Comprehensive Connectivity and Networking:

Connectivity includes Realtek® GbE LAN for high-speed wired networking. For models with Wi-Fi (e.g., B550 EAGLE WIFI6), it includes Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax 2×2) and Bluetooth 5.3. Rear panel I/O ports typically include multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, and USB 2.0/1.1 ports. An HDMI port (supporting up to 4096×2160@60 Hz) is also present for integrated graphics, if your CPU supports it. This ensures broad compatibility for all your peripherals.

Smart Cooling and Premium Audio:

Smart Fan 6 for Optimal Cooling:

Cooling is managed by Smart Fan 6. This system features multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP functionality. It allows for precise control over cooling performance. This ensures quiet operation when temperatures are low and efficient cooling under load. Consequently, your system remains cool and quiet.

High-Fidelity Audio with Noise Guard:

The motherboard boasts high-quality audio capacitors and an Audio Noise Guard. This design provides high-fidelity sound, crucial for immersive gaming and multimedia experiences. It helps isolate sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level. Therefore, you can enjoy clear and crisp audio output.

RGB FUSION 2.0 for Customizable Lighting:

Personalize your build with RGB FUSION 2.0. This feature supports addressable and RGB LED headers. It allows for customizable lighting effects across your motherboard and compatible peripherals. You can create a unique aesthetic that matches your gaming setup. This adds a vibrant touch to your PC.
