ROG Strix B550-XE

ROG Strix B550 Gaming series motherboards offer a feature-set usually found in the higher-end ROG Strix X570 Gaming series, including the latest PCI Express® 4.0 interface. The flagship of the B550 motherboard range, ROG Strix B550-XE Gaming WIFI, offers robust power delivery and effective cooling, making it well-equipped to handle the popular 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ and the latest AMD Ryzen™ 5000 (Zen 3 architecture) processors.

ROG Strix B550-XE Gaming WIFI embodies the ROG spirit with eye-catching aesthetics. Parallel strakes cutting across the upper-left to the bottom-right of the board add a ferocious look, while embedded Aura RGB LEDs illuminate the aluminum I/O shroud and Strix logo. The LEDs can be synced with other Aura-compatible hardware for a unified look. These new design features move ROG Strix boldly into the future, while clearly reflecting the series' gaming roots.
