Asus has some of the largest selection of motherboards and we have the minuscule ASUS ROG Strix B550-I motherboard on the test bench. The ROG Strix B550-I is a mini ITX motherboard which is great for small builds. Over the last few generations, ITX boards have been able to meet the performance of their full-size counterparts and the Strix B550-I aims to keep this trend going.

Though looking similar to its immediate predecessor, the improved 8+2-phase power stages have chunkier heatsinks on this time around, though as anyone who follows motherboards closely knows, there’s really no need for elaborate cooling for anything other than seat-of-your-pants overclocking, which goes against the grain of this board in any case. This thinking also helps explain why there’s no heatpipe between the two blocks.

The ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi) is a solid performer that mostly matches what we see from a solid X570 motherboard. This is likely something we will see on several B550, but it is nice to see that the tuning on ASUS’ more cost-friendly boards carries a similar level of performance.

Little about the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming [WI-FI] can be referred to as ‘budget’ though, as this easily could be a premium motherboard due to its features and a $229 USD price tag. The board as stated is positioned in an higher end region of what is considered the mainstream segment, it does look properly STRIX styled, stuff we like of course.

There’s an 8+2 power stage arrangement paired with two very large heatsinks, which is a huge step up from equivalent B450 boards in the TUF range. Those heatsinks kept the VRM temperature, as measured by our external IR probe, below 50°C with our Ryzen 9 3900X.

When the ROG Strix B550-F and B550-E arrived in the office we felt like doing them together as one review, just to show that point about things being nearly identical. In the end though, the changes between the two were significant enough that we wanted to show how curious it was that two motherboards will fairly different approaches to cracking this particular nut were still branded as the same thing.

We have a soft spot for the ASUS TUF range. ASUS had been applying their TUF ideology to their motherboards for a while before they went all in with calling a motherboard the TUF, and that was the P67 one – many moons ago when we were just a glint in the milkman’s eye.
