ASUS ROG Strix B550-A Gaming AMD AM4 ATX Gaming Motherboard

I've been using this motherboard for quite a while now and it's continued to perform flawlessly. Setup was straightforward, stability has been excellent and it's handled everything I've asked of it without giving me any reason to think about replacing it. The board offers a strong feature set for AM4 systems with plenty of connectivity, good build quality and enough expansion options for the vast majority of gaming and productivity builds. It also happens to be one of the better looking AM4 motherboards in my opinion, especially for lighter themed builds. The only thing that surprised me when looking at it recently was the price. It seems noticeably more expensive than when I originally bought mine, which makes it a little harder to recommend at current prices than it was a few years ago. As with DDR4 memory, part of that comes down to the industry gradually moving away from AM4 and DDR4 production towards newer platforms and AI-focused hardware, which has made some older but still popular components hold their value far better than many people expected. Overall, it's been an excellent motherboard and I'd happily keep using it for years yet, although new builders should compare current pricing against entry-level AM5 options before committing to a fresh AM4 build.

Just a really nice motherboard with neat features. Bios flashback is super handy to have and the two thermal pads on the m.2 heat sinks are such a nice addition. Just be careful because if you use both of those slots it takes up 2 of your 6 sata ports rendering 2 of them useless. Should be alright though. Otherwise phenomenal board

Amazing motherboard!!!! Setup so simple and comes with a extra 4pin power output

It has been a while since my initial purchase and so far it has been decent motherboard. It's a nice looking motherboard, good for a white build with silver/metal accent. It is also Ryzen 5000 ready out of the box, the layout and components are definitely high quality. One thing to note is the logo does not light up as shown in the pictures, it's just a silver paint. Comes with decent amount of I/O USB port and the shield is integrated so a relatively easy installation. The only issue I have faced are the fan headers. There are only 3x Fan channel headers, one of which is right in the middle of the board next to a pump header/CPU. Very awkward placing and it should have been on the top, side or bottom. Another annoying thing is the max limit for the fan speed control, whereas it is locked and will run 100% at 75+ C. This is BIOS related but can be improved in future update. Newer Ryzen 5000 CPU can run up to 70-95C so It just means whenever the CPU temperature hits 75ish, it will ramp up all fans. This can not be changed in bios, it is a safety feature which sucks but would love to change the maximum limit higher to something like 85C instead. Ryzen 5800x or heavy OC would easily hit this temp, but for this build I am running a 5600x so not an issue provided you have decent cooling. I would love to see more ARGB headers since it only comes with one. There is hardly any white AM4 motherboards on the market and I was deciding between this or the B550 Gigabyte Vision D, but did not want to pay the extra £100 premium. As you can see, it matches well with the white theme so definitely worth considering!

What more do you expect good motheboard

Works great for my needs vrms run cool under heavy load, more than enough fan headers, decent value when I got it on sale and includes a usb type c port which my old board was sorely lacking

Works Strat out of the box

I purchased this for a white build i did but... only one memory slot works i actually tried the same sockets with 4 sticks and the pc still wouldn't boot, so now I have to use one stick. I've even spoken to asus and they agreed the motherboard is faulty.

Başlıkta bahsettiğim gibi kargo hızlı, paketleme güzeldi. Asus kalitesine laf yok zaten :) 10/10 Teşekkürler Hema Bilişim.

Very strong motherboard, could handle me fist fighting my graphics card (rx 580) into the case aswell as accidentally bending a pin on the audio connector.

Ho recentemente acquistato l'ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING per il mio nuovo PC da gaming e sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto. Questa scheda madre offre una combinazione perfetta di funzionalità all'avanguardia, affidabilità e design accattivante perfetto per il mio case color bianco. Una delle prime cose che ho notato è stata la facilità di installazione. L'ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING è progettata in modo intuitivo, con posizioni dei connettori ben segnalate e layout generale ben organizzato. (inoltre con un ottima manualistica che aiuta anche i principianti in fase di montaggio). Anche l'interfaccia BIOS è user-friendly e semplice da navigare, consentendo un'efficace personalizzazione delle impostazioni. Il supporto per i processori AMD Ryzen garantisce una stabilità affidabile. Anche durante le sessioni di gioco intense, non ha mai mostrato segni di cedimento (GTAV, DOTA2, FORTNITE, ecc.) . La B550-A GAMING offre una connettività completa con numerose porte USB, slot M.2 (tra l'altro M2 4.0 che rendono il pc una vera e proprio scheggia nelle fasi di caricamento e accensione) e connettori SATA, consentendo una vasta gamma di opzioni di espansione e storage. Il design estetico è un altro punto di forza di questa scheda madre. Mi piace molto il suo colore bianco che si è intonato perfettamente con il mio case del medesimo colore. Il sistema di illuminazione Aura Sync di ASUS consente di personalizzare l'illuminazione RGB, ma la scheda madre ne è priva e non presenta nessun led. Quindi ottima però per controllare tutti gli altri dispositivi ARGB come ventole, dissipatori e ram. Devo sottolineare la qualità dei componenti utilizzati. è costruita egregiamente con materiali di alta qualità, che garantiscono a mio avviso una lunga durata e resistenza della medesima. Ho apprezzato particolarmente la dissipazione grazie ai suoi dissipatori posizionati nei vari punti della scheda, ottimo anche sull'M2, che mantiene le temperature sotto controllo anche durante le sessioni di gioco intense. In conclusione, l'ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING è una scelta eccezionale per gli appassionati di gioco che cercano una scheda madre affidabile e non troppo costosa. Consiglio vivamente l'acquisto a chiunque cerchi un'esperienza di gioco decente e stabile.

After 8 months of usage. I can say this is a solid motherboard for it's price, I bought it on sale of course. Stable memory ocing and PBO on my R5 5600x.It has thunderbolt support, bios flash back, 2.5gb lan usb 3.2gen2, all features which I am using without problems. Not having a wifi onboard is not really a feature I am missing out and to add extra100AED to have a mobo with onboard wifi is ridiculous for me. I am on lastest bios firmware and no problems whatsoever.

Świetna płyta, solidnie zrobiona, dobre sekcje zasilania. Radiatory na oba dyski m.2. Jeden slot pracuje w standardzie Gen4 z kc3000. Intuicyjny BIOS, oraz opcja fast boot znacznie przyśpieszająca rozruch. Z 5700x całość pracuje stabilnie i w normalnych temperaturach. Bardzo estetyczna maskownica. Dobra ilość portów i ich umiejscowienie. Możliwość wgrania BIOSU bezpośrednio z pendrive. Jednak ASUS robi porządne płyty, na moment uciekłem do konkurencji, ale po wielu problemach zwróciłem płytę i zakupiłem tą. Polecam
