PERFORMANCE LEVEL UP

With the exclusive AI Suite 3, you can push performance as far as possible for brilliant gaming thrills. Its dashboard-style control panel lets you fine-tune almost every aspect of your ROG Strix B450-F Gaming system. Get the best balance between performance, cooling, stability and efficiency via one simple and intuitive interface.

COOLER BY DESIGN

ROG Strix B450-F Gaming features comprehensive cooling options, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. Every on board header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans. Lastly, a dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.

SUPREMEFX

Utilizing the S1220A codec, SupremeFX is the integrated-audio solution that’s engineered to provide a flat frequency response for a neutral, detailed sound signature. And to ensure that pristine signature is perfectly preserved, the front-panel output is driven with dual op amps, delivering sonics with the scale and authority to create virtual worlds via your gaming headset.

DESIGN, CUSTOMIZATION, AND SETUP

A host of design touches, customization options, comprehensive validation lists, and a diverse ecosystem of components in the industry make building and personalizing a gaming rig with ROG Strix B450-F Gaming wonderfully easy. ROG’s patent-pending I/O shield is finished in sleek matte black and comes pre-mounted to make it easy to install the motherboard.

OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION

ROG Strix motherboards deliver superior performance and aesthetics to Outshine the Competition. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs and lighting strips connected to the RGB header. All lighting can be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.

CYBER OUTLOOK
