A well-equipped ATX gaming motherboard for AMD Ryzen processors based on the 2020 mid-range AMD B550 chipset. It is a model from the line of overclocking products Asus Strix Republic Of Gamers, whose boards are famous for their impeccable reliability and improved overclocking potential. It differs from the previous generation boards by supporting the high-speed PCI-E Gen 4.0 system interface, which allows you to almost increase by 100% the speed of data exchange with high-speed NVMe SSDs.
Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) motherboard is fully compatible with Ryzen 3/5/7/9 3000 processors (Matisse and Matisse Refresh cores, 7nm) and Ryzen 4000 APUs (Renoir core, 7nm). It is positioned as a product of the upper part of the middle price category, designed to create overclocking and gaming configurations of the highest level. Equipped with a reinforced 14-phase (12+2) processor power subsystem, the power switches of which are cooled by impressive radiators. Excellent overclocking features make this board a good choice for enthusiasts who can get a performance boost by fine-tuning key components. Supports up to 128 GB DDR4 speed memory (up to 4400 MHz). Equipped with a top network adapter (wired connection speed up to 2.5 Gbps) and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11n/ac/ax) wireless module.

Updated BIOS from 1004 to version 2006, the B550 chipset became cooler by 4-5°C. The B550 was generally warm (cold) until the second NVMe was inserted, as soon as the NVMe was installed, it started to heat up even if you don't use the NVMe drive, as expected PCI-e is not disableable on NVMe. With the new BIOS version 2006, the temperature is 53-54°C, better than 60°C. the 2.5Gbit Intel® I225-V network card started working on LINUX, a linux-firmware update came out quietly where someone fixed something. ![]() |
Looking for a board with RealTek RTL8125 2.5Gigabit, Intel is no longer up to scratch. Starts without any issues, Windows from the Microsoft website on a USB flash drive. Entered the password for the Wi-Fi network. Everything else set up automatically. It's all so simple. Updated the BIOS to the latest version, the XMP profile of my RAM appeared, and I even managed to add +400MHz to the overclock. There are no Linux drivers for the 2.5Gbit Intel® I225-V Internet, so where is Intel going? Windows 10 version 2004 also does not have drivers, only on the ASUS website. This is in any light Intel has no drivers. The first batch of Intel® I225-V 2.5Gb chips is defective, people are lucky who bought a master board with a Z490 2.5Gbit Intel® I225-V chip ![]() |
The time has come when my old 3570k can no longer handle all the tasks I set for it. So, it was decided to build a new system, and I decided to try the AMD 3700x along with this motherboard. I considered getting the version without WiFi, but eventually opted for the one with wireless features. I specifically chose the b550 for future upgrades with new AMD processors. The motherboard looks great. The package is quite rich, with everything needed to build a PC: thermal pads under the M.2 SSD heatsinks and screws for mounting them, even an "extension" for screw installation and additional "spacers" to prevent the SSD from sagging. There are WiFi antennas, but even without them, the motherboard picks up signals from my router and the neighbor's, although the connection level is below average. It came with a fairly old BIOS, which I updated to version 1004. There are tons of settings in the BIOS, and everything is enabled by default, including auto-overclocking, which results in the processor and chipset heating up to 60°C just while browsing. This is despite having 2 x 140mm intake fans. I specifically chose a board without a small fan on the chipset, thinking I could manage the cooling better, but that wasn't the case. After removing all these unnecessary dynamic auto-overclocks and lowering the CPU voltage, the temperature immediately dropped by 10°C without affecting performance. Why would the manufacturer set it up this way from the factory? Shame on them. Overall, I believe this isn't a top choice but rather an upgraded mid-range option with a bunch of cons that shouldn't be present in a top-tier product. Overall, it's good for 2-3 years... - LAN controller from Intel - built-in Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth, although the latter is questionable as there are issues with connecting Sony 1000xm3 headphones and DualShock 4 - PCI Express 4.0, although as we know and tests have shown, its benefits are currently zero - it's nice that the PCI slots are reinforced with metal - 14 power phases - stability of operation - rich bundle, it includes everything you might need - a bunch of software included, some of which is clearly useless - easy CPU overclocking through BIOS, but with my 3700x, there's virtually no point as it's almost at max settings already - memory was easily set to its frequencies and timings according to the profile, because on auto it was a mess, haven't tried pushing it further, but I think it could go beyond its native 3200 - was able to attach my Noctua NH-D14 cooler, but had to buy an adapter separately - heatsinks for M2 with thermal pads - instead of the Windows logo, it can display the ROG gaming logo - hamsters and mommy gamers will appreciate it - lack of a heat pipe between the radiators on the power circuits, this is Asus' top motherboard on the B550 and they skimped on this - useless lighting instead of a heat pipe, honestly what's the point of it?? luckily it can be turned off in the BIOS - not enough USB ports, I barely managed to connect all my peripherals and only the USB C port is left free, I don't even have cables for it anyway - no BIOS reset button (but there's a BIOS flashback which might not even be needed) - enabled automatic CPU overclocking, why? unclear. Maybe as a user, I'd like to decide whether to enable it or not - automatic voltage on memory which raised it to 1.4, for unclear reasons, I manually set it to 1.35 and the timings that also fluctuated on auto - no post code indicator - the software and drivers for audio are unbelievably faulty. When installing them, additional programs from the Windows Store may not install right away, such as Realtek Audio Console, Sonic Studio 3, Sonic Radar 3. And the software itself works poorly, to put it mildly, these enhancements ruin things at the most inconvenient moments. For instance, when watching a movie online or from a disc, the speech volume starts to fluctuate because the "enhancements" in Sonic Studio 3 make things only worse in reality - I didn't get the point of the SupremeFX feature, it's some nonsense, it's unclear why I paid extra... - useless video outputs, now tell me, who would use such a processor with this motherboard considering that almost all such models are for low-budget builds ![]() |
