It supports compatible AMD Ryzen 3000 Series, Ryzen 4000 G-Series, Ryzen 5000 Series and Ryzen 5000 G-Series processors, with capacity for a single CPU. Designed around the TUF Gaming range's focus on durability, stability and dependable performance, the motherboard combines military-grade components, an upgraded power design and extensive cooling controls with gaming-focused connectivity and system features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe board supports up to 128GB of DDR4 memory across four 288-pin DIMM slots and uses a dual-channel memory architecture. Both ECC and non-ECC memory are supported, with unbuffered modules required. Supported memory frequencies include 2133MHz, 2400MHz, 2666MHz, 2800MHz, 3000MHz and 3200MHz, along with overclocked speeds ranging from 3333MHz through to 4866MHz. This memory support is complemented by PCIe and storage connectivity designed for compatible high-performance components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePower delivery is built around ASUS Digi+ VRM technology, which regulates the power supplied to the CPU. The ProCool enhanced 8-pin power connection is manufactured to close specifications so that it makes secure contact with the corresponding PSU power lines. This design reduces electrical impedance, helping to limit the development of hot spots and reduce the possibility of connector failure. The motherboard uses both a 24-pin main power connector and an 8-pin ATX12V power connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCooling is supported by a large, high-mass VRM heatsink covering the VRM and choke regions, providing an extensive surface area through which heat can dissipate. High-quality thermal pads assist with moving heat away from the phase array and inductors and into the heatsink. A dedicated M.2 heatsink is also provided to help an installed M.2 SSD remain at an appropriate operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability. System fan operation can be configured through ASUS fan-control software or directly through the UEFI BIOS, giving builders comprehensive control over cooling behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage connectivity consists of six SATA-600 connections with support for RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10, together with two M.2 connections. One M.2 interface supports SATA-600 and PCIe 4.0, while the second supports SATA-600 and PCIe 3.0. This provides support for both SATA and compatible PCIe-based M.2 storage within the same motherboard platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExpansion connectivity includes a primary PCIe x16 slot whose operating standard depends on the installed Ryzen processor. With Ryzen 5000 Series or Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs, this slot can operate as PCIe 4.0 x16, while Ryzen 5000 G-Series and Ryzen 4000 G-Series processors use PCIe 3.0 x16 operation. The motherboard additionally provides three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots and another PCIe 3.0 x16 physical slot operating in x4 mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eASUS SafeSlot technology strengthens the PCIe slot to provide increased retention and resistance to shearing forces. The construction uses an insert-moulding process that incorporates reinforcing metal directly into the slot, while additional solder points secure the assembly firmly to the motherboard PCB. This reinforced design forms part of the wider TUF approach to motherboard durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNetwork connectivity includes 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet as well as integrated wireless networking supporting IEEE 802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac\/ax standards, including Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. TUF LANGuard adds protection to the wired network connection using signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors. It is designed both to improve network throughput and to protect the motherboard against electrical effects associated with lightning strikes and static electricity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe motherboard also incorporates resettable protection fuses to guard against excessive current and short circuits. This protection extends beyond the I\/O connections to the DRAM circuitry, helping protect system memory and connected hardware. Additional protection and durability technologies include ASUS Enhanced DRAM Overcurrent Protection, ESD Guards, ASUS Overvoltage Protection, TUF Protection and a stainless-steel rear I\/O assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExternal connectivity is extensive, with one USB-C Gen 2 port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. Internal headers add connectivity for a further two USB 3.2 Gen 1 connections and four USB 2.0 connections. Internal interfaces also include an audio header, serial header and Thunderbolt header. Display connections consist of DisplayPort and HDMI, with onboard graphics output requiring a processor with appropriate graphics capability. The DisplayPort connection complies with DisplayPort 1.2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor audio, the ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus Wi-Fi II provides eight-channel HD Audio compliant with High Definition Audio and DTS Custom. Its rear connectivity includes audio line-in, line-out, microphone, rear-channel output, centre\/subwoofer output and TOSLINK digital audio. Audio jack detection and jack retasking are also supported. These capabilities form part of the motherboard's gaming-focused audio implementation, which is designed to provide clear audio and positional information for gaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eASUS AI Noise-Canceling Microphone software adds software-based background-noise reduction and works with 3.5mm, USB and Bluetooth headsets. It uses a deep-learning database to distinguish the user's voice from unwanted environmental sounds such as keyboard noise and mouse clicks. The processing is designed to impose only a small CPU load so that its effect on gaming performance remains minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRGB lighting functionality is provided through ASUS Aura Sync. ASUS Aura gives control over the motherboard's integrated RGB LEDs and compatible lighting strips attached through its onboard RGB headers, with a selection of lighting presets available. Lighting can also be synchronised with compatible Aura-enabled hardware to create a coordinated lighting setup across supported components and accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe TUF Gaming B550-Plus Wi-Fi II is designed to simplify PC assembly and configuration for experienced users as well as first-time system builders. ASUS Q-Design features include Q-DIMM, Q-LED and Q-Slot, while ASUS EZ DIY functionality is also included. The motherboard's AMI BIOS supports UEFI BIOS, BIOS FlashBack and ASUS EZ Flash 3, providing built-in tools for BIOS management and system configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe motherboard also participates in the TUF Gaming Alliance, an ASUS collaboration with established PC component manufacturers. The programme focuses on compatibility across components including PC cases, power supplies, CPU coolers and memory kits, while also supporting coordinated aesthetics between compatible hardware. ASUS continues to expand the range of participating partners and components within the TUF Gaming Alliance ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoftware supplied with the motherboard includes drivers and utilities together with ASUS AI Suite III, ASUS EZ Update, PC Cleaner, ASUS AURA Creator and ASUS TUF Gaming CPU-Z. WinRAR is also included, along with a 60-day trial of Norton AntiVirus. Additional motherboard hardware technologies include ASUS TurboV EVO, ASUS EPU Energy Processing Unit, ASUS Fan Xpert 4, ASUS Digi+ VRM, ASUS ProCool and ASUS Aura Sync.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus Wi-Fi II measures 30.5cm wide by 24.4cm deep and uses the standard ATX motherboard form factor. Combining the AMD B550 platform with Socket AM4 processor support, DDR4 memory, PCIe 4.0 capability with compatible processors, dual M.2 storage, six SATA-600 ports, USB-C Gen 2, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, eight-channel HD Audio, extensive cooling controls and TUF protection technologies, it provides a comprehensive foundation for a compatible AMD Ryzen gaming PC. The motherboard is supplied with a three-year limited manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct name: ASUS TUF
