DURABLE. STABLE. RELIABLE. TUF Gaming B550M-Plus WIFI II
distills essential elements of the latest AMD platform and combines
them with game-ready features and proven durability. Engineered
with military-grade components, an upgraded power solution and a
comprehensive set of cooling options, this motherboard delivers
rock-solid performance with unwavering gaming stability. When you
build with a TUF Gaming motherboard, you also benefit from the TUF
Gaming Alliance — an ASUS collaboration with trusted industry
partners that ensures easier building, best compatibility, and
complementary aesthetics from components to case. ROCK-SOLID
PERFORMANCE With upgraded power delivery and comprehensive
cooling options to fuel the latest AMD Ryzen CPUs, plus support for
faster memory and storage, TUF Gaming B550M-Plus WIFI II is the
perfect foundation for your next high-core-count battle rig.
Power Design DrMOS The onboard VRM of TUF Gaming B550M-Plus
WIFI II utilizes 8+2 DrMOS power stages that combine high-side and
low-side MOSFETs and driver into a single package, delivering the
power and efficiency that AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series/ 5000 G-Series/
4000 G-Series/ 3000 Series Processors demand. Stack Cool 3+
2-ounce copper layers draw heat away from critical components to
keep them at their optimal operating temperatures and provide more
headroom to push CPUs beyond stock speeds. ProCool Socket
ENHANCED 8-PIN CONNETOR - Extreme durability - Prevent hotspots
and connector failure Compared with traditional power inputs,
ProCool sockets are built to tight specifications to ensure flush
contact with PSU power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps
to prevent hotspots and connector failure. TUF COMPONENTS TUF
CHOKES Certified military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady
power to the CPU, improving system stability. TUF CAPACITORS
Proprietary capacitors provide up to 20% greater temperature
tolerance and 5X-longer lifespan. Digi+ VRM The integrated
DIGI+ VRM voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in
the industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery
to the CPU at all times. EASY PC DIY TUF Gaming motherboards
are designed to be easy to set up and configure just the way you
want — even for first-time builders. The TUF Gaming Alliance
ecosystem makes selecting compatible parts easy, while Armoury
Crate software offers full control of system settings via a single
dashboard. TUF Gaming motherboards give you everything you need to
build your dream gaming rig without adding complexity. TUF
PROTECTION SafeSlot SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by
ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing
resistance. Manufactured via a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot
integrates fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which
is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder
points. ESD guards ESD Guards prolong the life of components
while preventing damage from electrostatic discharge, providing
protection for up to +/- 10 kV of air discharge and +/- 6 kV of
contact discharge — greatly surpassing the respective industry
standards of +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV. KEYBOARDS AND MOUSE
CONNECTORS Additional on-circuit ESD
transient-voltage-suppression. VGA PROTECTION Additional
on-circuit ESD TVS diodes to protect VGA output functionality.
USB CONNECTORS TVS diode for surface-mount and dual in-line
package. TUF LANGuard TUF LANGuard is a military-grade
innovation that integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and
premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput,
protecting the motherboard from lightning strikes and static
electricity. DRAM overvoltage protection Onboard resettable
fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This extends
beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of your system
and connected devices. Stainless-steel back I/O panel TUF
Gaming motherboards have a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel back
I/O panel bonded with chromium oxide to provide a 3X-longer
lifespan versus traditional panels. With this protective feature,
TUF Gaming motherboards passed 72-hour salt fog testing, while
other brands only passed 24-hour testing. EASY CONFIGURATION
BIOS FlashBack™ BIOS FlashBack™ is the simplest and safest
(UEFI) BIOS update method. Simply drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a
FAT32 formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack™
port and press the button. Updates can even be performed without
having memory or a CPU installed. Armoury Crate Armoury
Crate is a new software utility designed to give you centralized
control of supported gaming products. From a single intuitive
interface, Armoury Crate lets you easily customize RGB lighting and
effects for every compatible device in your arsenal and synchronize
them with Aura Sync for unified system lighting effects. You can
also turn on the Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation function for
crystal-clear in-game voice communication. The software also
provides control of settings for a select and growing number of
products, including keyboard and mouse preferences as well as
laptop overclocking and fan speeds, making it easier to tune the
look and feel of your system. Armoury Crate even features dedicated
product registration and news areas to help you stay in touch with
the gaming community. IMMERSIVE GAMING TUF Gaming B550M-Plus
WIFI II provides a complete, high-performance gaming package with a
long list of features to improve your experience, including
ultrafast networking for smoother online gameplay, pristine audio
with positional cues for FPS gaming, and onboard RGB lighting that
syncs with attached accessories to help you create a personalized
gaming atmosphere. WiFi 6 The WiFi 6 module is compatible
with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up
to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power
users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded
networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard
with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking
potential of WiFi 6. EXCLUSIVE 2.5 GIGABIT ETHERNET 2.5G

automatically connect to the wireless router with the best signal.
TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION Two-way AI noise cancelation
software is exclusively featured on ASUS motherboards and supports
3.5 mm, USB, or Bluetooth headsets. The utility leverages a massive
deep-learning database to preserve the sound of your voice while
eliminating distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks, and other
forms of environmental noise. And it only places a slight load on
the CPU, ensuring minimal impact on gaming performance. Gaming
audio DTS® Custom for gaming headsets Hone your battle skills
