Any Ryzen will start
Motherboards based on the AMD B550 chipset are suitable for the most advanced builds with Ryzen processors of any generation, whether it's a gaming build or a powerful workstation for audio and video production, modeling or compilation. And one of the most interesting options in this class is the ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING from Asus. Even if it’s not the cheapest, it’s reliable, heaped up to the very end and with a well-thought-out layout, cooling and power supply.
14-phase power subsystem with VRM heatsink
The 14-phase power subsystem with a VRM heatsink can confidently handle any existing Ryzen processor, whether it's the old six-core Pinnacle Ridge chip or the brand new 16-core monster Ryzen 9 5950X. The same goes for the rest of the system components. Want to put in a new RX 6800 XT graphics card? Yes, please (just find it on the market). Want a reactive memory system like the PlayStation 5? This is also possible, Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING supports the new PCI-E 4.0 bus and next-generation fast SSDs.
All necessary interfaces
In accordance with its status, the motherboard has all the latest connection interfaces, be it SATA ports, modern USB or M.2 connector. Fans of modding and owners of open cases will be pleased with the updated design of the board and the presence of the Asus Aura Sync backlight synchronization system. Given the advancement of the platform, the $200 price tag looks quite justified. The only thing to be sad about is that with new Radeon graphics cards, Ryzen Vermeer processors and related motherboards, it is very difficult to consistently upgrade. You will have to immediately buy a processor, motherboard and graphics card.
