ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus WiFi II AM4 Micro ATX Motherboard

The ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus WiFi II is a micro ATX motherboard for AMD CPUs that gives a Socket AM4 build built-in Wi-Fi, two M.2 slots and PCIe 4.0 graphics support on a compact board. If you want a capable B550 platform without paying for a full-size board, it's great value for a compact gaming or everyday PC.

  • Socket and chipset: AMD AM4 with B550
  • Form factor: Micro ATX
  • Memory: 4 DDR4 slots
  • Storage: 2 x M.2 slots
  • Expansion: 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16, 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 x PCIe 3.0 x1
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi, RJ45 LAN, USB-C, 5 x USB 3.2

Description

PCIe 4.0 slot for your graphics card

The main x16 slot runs at PCI Express 4.0, so a graphics card that supports PCIe 4.0 can use it at that speed. A second x16 slot at PCIe 3.0 and an x1 slot leave room for a capture card, network adapter or other expansion card.

Two M.2 slots and four DDR4 slots

Two M.2 slots let you add solid-state storage straight to the board, with no drive bays or extra cables needed. Four DDR4 slots give you room to start with two memory modules and add two more later, so the board can keep up as your system grows.

Built-in Wi-Fi and plenty of ports

Wi-Fi is built in, so you can go online without buying a separate adapter, and an RJ45 port is there when you want a wired connection. On the back you'll find five USB 3.2 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, one USB-C port, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, optical S/PDIF, five audio jacks and a PS/2 port.

Who it suits

It suits gamers putting together a compact AM4 system, anyone upgrading an older Ryzen PC who wants faster storage and Wi-Fi, and home or office users who need a dependable micro ATX board with a good choice of ports.
