ROCK-SOLID PERFORMANCE

With upgraded power delivery and comprehensive cooling options to fuel the latest AMD Ryzen^TM CPUs, plus support for faster memory and storage, TUF GAMING B550M-E is the perfect foundation for your next high-core-count battle rig.

Power Design

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.

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 52% wider temperature tolerance and 2.5X-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.

*Specifications and features vary by model, and all images are illustrative. Please refer to specification and gallery pages for full details.

Cooler by design

1. VRM heatsink

A large, high-mass heatsink with extensive surface that covers the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation.

Thermal pad

High-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.

2. M.2 heatsink

The M.2 heatsink keeps the M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

3. PCH Heatsink

Mass and surface area of the heatsink is carefully designed and balanced to maximize thermal dissipation for the latest AMD B550 chipset.

COMPREHENSIVE FAN CONTROLS

TUF Gaming B550M-E features comprehensive fan controls that can be configured via Fan Xpert 2+ utility or via the award-winning ASUS UEFI BIOS.

Multiple temperature sources
4-pin PWM/DC fan
Smart protection

Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling, and all settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 2+ or via the UEFI.
All onboard chassis fan headers support auto-detection of PWM and DC fans.
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature and overcurrent.

PCIe 4.0 M.2 (up to 64 Gbps)

TUF Gaming B550M series motherboards support PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot 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 AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series/ 3000 Series processors.

*Actual transmission speed will be lower than theoretical maximum speed.

**The M.2_1 supports PCIe 4.0 and the M.2_2 supports PCIe 3.0.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A

Extensive USB support ensures connections to a wide array of peripherals. TUF GAMING B550M-E series motherboards include two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports that deliver increased bandwidth and transmission speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

USB 3.2 GEN 1 TYPE–C^® CONNECTOR

Numerous USB ports support gaming rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel USB Type-C^® connector with fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity for compatible cases.

TUF PROTECTION

SAFESLOT CORE+

SafeSlot Core+ is the ASUS-exclusive PCIe slot fortified with a one-piece stainless-steel brace that shields the slot to protect it from damage. The metal cover is tightly secured to the slot with hooks, and the entire assembly is firmly anchored to the PCB with strengthened solder points to provide a secure foundation for heavyweight graphics cards.

Strengthened solder points around the PCIe and DIMM pins.

Metal inserts keep graphics cards properly aligned during installation.

The metal side-panels feature hooks that firmly clasp the slot body.

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.
