Socket AM4 Micro-ATX Board

This Micro-ATX motherboard uses the AMD B550 chipset and Socket AM4 for Ryzen 5000 Series, 5000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series and 3000 Series processors. It targets builders who want a compact platform with PCIe 4.0 support and integrated WiFi 6 connectivity. Four DDR4 slots accept up to 128 GB of memory in dual-channel mode.

VRM Heatsink And SafeSlot

An 8+1 DrMOS power stage design with alloy chokes and durable capacitors feeds the CPU, while a VRM heatsink and PCH heatsink dissipate heat. The primary PCIe 4.0 x16 slot uses a reinforced SafeSlot core. Rear I/O includes HDMI 2.1 for 4K 60 Hz output, D-Sub, DVI, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 Gb LAN and stainless-steel construction. Addressable Gen 2 RGB and standard RGB headers enable Aura Sync lighting control.

PCIe 4.0 M.2 And Memory Limits

The primary M.2 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x4 with Ryzen 5000 and 3000 Series CPUs, but drops to PCIe 3.0 x4 with 5000 G-Series and 4000 G-Series chips. The second M.2 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots share bandwidth with the chipset. DDR4 speeds above 3200 MT/s require overclocking and depend on the specific processor and memory kit installed.

Highlights

  • Ready for 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs with AM4 socket and PCIe 4.0

Questions about this item

Does the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot run at full 4.0 speed with a Ryzen 5000 series CPU?

The single PCIe 4.0 x16 SafeSlot operates at PCIe 4.0 x16 when a Ryzen 5000 or 3000 series desktop processor is installed; actual support may vary by CPU.

What case clearance does the Micro ATX board and its VRM heatsink require?

The board uses the Micro ATX form factor with a VRM heatsink and PCH heatsink; it fits any case that accepts Micro ATX motherboards and provides standard CPU cooler clearance around the socket area.

How do I enable WiFi 6 and Bluetooth on this motherboard, and which step is often missed?

Install the supplied external antennas on the rear I/O WiFi 6 (802.11ax) connectors, then install the driver from the ASUS support page; the step often missed is attaching both antennas before first boot.
