AMD B550 ATX motherboard for AM4 CPUs

The ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD B550 chipset and AM4 socket. It supports 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors and Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, though a BIOS update may be required for the latter. The board targets builders who want a standard-size platform for current-generation Ryzen CPUs.

PCIe 4.0 support with dual M.2 slots

This board delivers PCIe 4.0 connectivity from the CPU, enabling faster graphics and storage throughput. Two M.2 sockets are provided for high-speed SSDs. The chipset also supplies SATA 6 Gb/s ports for additional drives, while a 1 Gb Ethernet controller handles wired networking.

Suits mainstream Ryzen builds needing PCIe 4.0

The feature set fits gamers and general-purpose users who need PCIe 4.0 graphics and storage on a full-size ATX board. Builders requiring more than two M.2 slots, integrated Wi-Fi, or a smaller form factor such as micro-ATX should look at other options.

Questions about this item

How does the B550 chipset affect performance once the board is in a real machine?

The B550 chipset provides PCIe 4.0 lanes for the primary graphics slot and one M.2 socket, so a Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 CPU can use full-speed 4.0 bandwidth on those devices.

What interface standard caps the dual M.2 slots in practice?

Each M.2 slot runs over PCIe 4.0 x4 from the CPU, so the practical ceiling is the 4.0 x4 link speed of the installed Ryzen processor.

What physical space and mounting points does the ATX form factor need?

The board measures standard ATX dimensions and uses the nine-hole ATX screw pattern, so it fits any case with ATX standoffs and an ATX I/O shield cut-out.
