ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (WI-FI) AMD motherboard Desktop A

Platform fit

This motherboard is an ATX board with an AM4 socket and B550 chipset designed for AMD Ryzen desktop processors. It includes an I/O shield, two SATA cables and Wi-Fi antennas, and has been tested by the manufacturer to confirm full functionality.

Who it suits

Builders who already own a compatible Ryzen CPU from the supported list can use this board immediately. Buyers who need a CPU that is not on the supported list such as the 1300X, 1400, 1500, 1500X, 1600, 1600X, 1700 or 1700X should look elsewhere because a BIOS update cannot enable those processors.

BIOS requirement

A BIOS update is required for the 5600G, 5700G, 5600X, 5800X, 5900X and 5950X models and that update can only be performed with a 2nd or 3rd generation Ryzen processor already installed. Without access to one of those earlier CPUs the board will not post with the newer chips.
