By choosing such a board, you will also be able to take advantage of the TUF Gaming Alliance program, within which ASUS, together with its partners, offers original solutions aimed at improving component compatibility, simplifying computer assembly and providing more opportunities for its customization.
DRMOS POWER MODULES.
The power supply system implemented on the TUF Gaming B550M-Plus motherboard uses 8+2 DrMOS power modules, each of which contains a driver, lower and upper MOSFET keys. Thanks to such component integration, increased efficiency is achieved, which is necessary for the stable operation of AMD Ryzen 3rd generation processors.
PROCOOL CONNECTOR. IMPROVED 8-CONTACT POWER CONNECTOR.
Increased strength.
Reliable connection.
Special ProCool power connectors implemented on ASUS motherboards guarantee a reliable connection of cables, reduced electrical resistance and improved heat dissipation, compared to standard ones.
TUF CHOKES.
Meeting strict military-industrial standards, TUF chokes deliver maximum stable current to the central processor, which improves the overall reliability of the computer.
TUF CAPACITORS.
Exclusive capacitors boast increased heat resistance and extended service life.
DIGI+ VOLTAGE STABILIZER.
The digital power supply system implemented on this motherboard provides stable operation and high energy efficiency.
SAFESLOT TECHNOLOGY.
SafeSlot is a special way of attaching a PCIe slot based on additional internal metal elements that provide increased strength and resistance to deformation during installation and removal of the expansion card.
ESD GUARDS.
ASUS motherboards implement full protection against potentially hazardous electrostatic discharges: air electrostatic discharge voltage up to +/- 10 kV and contact discharge up to +/- 6 kV. This significantly exceeds the requirements of industrial standards (+/-6 kV and +/-4 kV, respectively).
TUF LANGUARD.
The wired Ethernet network connector on TUF series motherboards is additionally protected against electrostatic discharge and voltage surges.
MEMORY ELECTROSTATIC PROTECTION.
To prevent overcurrent and short circuits on the motherboard, built-in fuses are used. They protect all components of the device, starting from peripheral connectors and ending with memory slots.
REAR PANEL MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL.
The rear panel of ASUS motherboards is made of stainless steel, coated with a thin layer of chromium oxide, which has anti-corrosion properties. Thanks to this, it boasts a long service life, which is confirmed by appropriate tests.
2.5G ETHERNET CONTROLLER.
The built-in 2.5G Ethernet standard controller allows you to increase the speed of the wired network connection using the current cable infrastructure. Lag-free online gaming, streaming videos without pauses, file transfer without long waiting - all this awaits you when switching to the new Ethernet standard.
TURBO LAN.
The Turbo LAN traffic manager with cFosSpeed network traffic management technology allows you to easily reduce lag during online gaming through a convenient software interface.
Instant acceleration. Select the highest priority with a single click.
Automatic game addition. Automatic recognition of gaming applications.
Protective cover. Electromagnetic shielding of the audio codec helps to eliminate interference from other components.
High-quality components. Japanese capacitors make an invaluable contribution to ensuring high sound quality.
REALTEK S1200A CODEC. Exclusive audio codec creates a large sound stage with bright dynamics.
Electrical isolation. Separation of analog and digital sections to minimize interference.
COOLER AND QUIETER.
1. POWER SUPPLY RADIATOR
The power elements are covered with a massive radiator with a large heat dissipation area.
2. THERMAL PAD
High-performance thermal pads are used to transfer heat from the power elements to the radiator.
3. M.2 RADIATOR
Thanks to a special radiator, the solid-state drive installed in the M.2 slot will be able to show its maximum performance without the risk of overheating.
M.2 INTERFACE IN PCIE 4.0 MODE (64 GB/S).
Thanks to the presence of two M.2 slots, one of which supports PCIe 4.0 mode, the user can not only connect modern solid-state drives at high speed, but also combine them into a RAID array.
USB 3.2 GEN2 (TYPE-A AND TYPE-C).
Gaming computers typically use a large number of peripheral devices, and this motherboard offers many ports for their connection in the form of Type-A and Type-C connectors.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO. IMMACULATE CLEAN SOUND.
The basis of the audio system of TUF Gaming B550 motherboards is a unique codec developed in close cooperation with Realtek. It has excellent characteristics that guarantee crystal clear sound. Thus, the signal-to-noise ratio of this audio solution is 108 dB for linear stereo output and 103 dB for linear input.
DTS CUSTOM FOR GAMING HEADSETS.
The DTS Custom technology supported by the audio system of this motherboard uses special algorithms to simulate surround sound when using stereo headphones and headsets. It works in three modes optimized for games of certain genres.
AIR MODE.
In this mode, which is optimal for MOBA arenas, strategies and sports simulators, a feeling is created as if you are hovering above the game world, while the sound comes from the front.
SOUND PANORAMA.
This mode will put you right in the thick of things - ideal for role-playing and action games, horrors and multiplayer projects.
TACTICAL MODE.
Enhancement of barely audible sounds so you can easily spot an enemy lurking.
OUTSHINING THE COMPETITION.
ASUS motherboards are not only powerful and functional, but also incredibly beautiful devices, as they are equipped with built-in Aura lighting with flexible adjustment. In addition, you can connect additional LED strips to them and synchronize visual effects with other Aura-compatible ASUS products to give even more individuality and brightness to the entire computer.
CONNECTOR FOR ADDRESSABLE BACKLIGHTING OF THE SECOND GENERATION.
This board offers a connector for connecting LED strips and other devices with addressable backlighting of the second generation. A feature of such backlighting is that the software can automatically adapt visual effects to the specific number of LEDs. In addition, the connector is backward compatible with previously released devices equipped with Aura backlighting.
