Tune It Your Way

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. The Prime B550 motherboard packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling you to tweak performance settings to perfectly match the way you work – maximizing your productivity.

Intelligent Control

  • EPU: All-around Energy Efficiency
    With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU), you will enjoy system-wide power savings. The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode
  • Fan Xpert 2+: Flexible Cooling Controls
    Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over system fans. Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS
  • Digi+ VRM Control: Precise Digital Power Control
    The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ASUS UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak and tune your system. It offers intelligently simplified options for PC DIY beginners, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

  • Advanced Tuning for Serious Tweakers
    An intuitive Advanced mode offered via the UEFI lets you take complete control. A built-in search feature makes it easy to find options, and various Advanced functions let you intelligently make nuanced adjustments so you can dial in performance just the way you want.
    • Search Function
      Quickly and easily find the option or setting you need
    • ASUS User Profile
      Port configuration settings between different BIOS versions or share them with friends
  • EZ Mode
    EZ mode displays vital settings and stats and also offers guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings - all to help you get your rig up and running in no time
    • Intuitive Graphical Fan Control
      Fine-tune individual fan settings simply by dragging a curve with the mouse
    • EZ XMP
      Improve DRAM performance with one click
    • Aura On/Off mode (Stealth)
      Easily enable or disable Aura RGB lighting or every onboard LED, for a subdued aesthetic touch

Cool to the Core

Prime B550 series is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

  • Heatsinks
    VRM Heatsink and Thermal Pads - A VRM heatsink with underneath thermal pad improves heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.
  • Cooler by Design
    Prime B550 series features comprehensive cooling controls that are configurable via Fan Xpert 2+ software or via the UEFI BIOS.
    • Multiple Temperature Sources
      Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks
    • Smart Protection
      A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent
    • 4-Pin PWM/DC Fan
      Each onboard chassis fan header supports PWM and DC mode

Build on a Solid Foundation

Prime B550 motherboard provides all the fundamentals to boost daily productivity, so your system will be ready for action with stable power, intuitive cooling and flexible transfer options.

  • NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 Storage
    The M.2 (up to 64 Gbps) Slot supports up to 22110 length M.2s and provides NVMe SSD RAID support for an incredible performance boost. Create a RAID configuration with up to PCIe 4.0 storage device to enjoy the fastest data-transfer speeds on the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen platform
  • WiFi 6
    Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 The Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 module is compatible with the Dual Band 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. As a Bonus, you also get Bluetooth v5.2 so you can connect to a host of external wireless audio devices like Powered Speakers, EarBuds, etc. Pair your ASUS wireless Motherboard with an ASUS Wi-Fi 6 Router to fully experience the networking potential of Wi-Fi 6!
