ASUS PRIME B550M-A WIFI II AMD AM4 B550 MicroATX

This ASUS PRIME B550M-A WIFI II is a MicroATX motherboard built around the AMD B550 chipset and AM4 socket. It supports DDR4 SDRAM and provides one PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot plus two M.2 slots for storage expansion. The board includes integrated Wi-Fi and ships with an I/O shield, SATA cables, M.2 screws and standoff, and a Wi-Fi antenna. No other accessories are included.

Check CPU compatibility and accessory needs

Before ordering, consult the manufacturer's CPU compatibility list to confirm whether your processor is supported, unsupported, or requires a BIOS update. Verify that your chassis accepts a MicroATX form factor and that your power supply provides the necessary ATX and CPU power connectors. Note that the package contains only the motherboard, I/O shield, SATA cables, M.2 hardware and Wi-Fi antenna; items such as a driver disk, user manual, SLI bridge or additional expansion brackets are not supplied.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

The board uses passive chipset cooling and relies on case airflow for the voltage-regulator area, so fan noise depends entirely on your chosen CPU cooler and case fans. Power draw at the wall will vary with the installed processor, memory kit and storage devices; the B550 chipset itself adds only a modest baseline load. Ensure your case ventilation is adequate for the components you plan to install.
