The ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming features a neutral black aesthetic with some red and white accents.


The RGB on the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming is excellent, with good brightness and flawless diffusion.

G.SKILL generously provided their excellent Trident Z Neo kit. Along with the new hardware, I will be implementing a new testing standard. Moving forward, I will be testing new platforms with XMP enabled.

Note: CPU-Z was not entirely reliable with reporting the voltage for my testing of the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming, though it was usually close. I crosschecked the figures against Ryzen Master to ensure accurate numbers, but some of the CPU-Z screenshots may look odd.

Power consumption numbers in the testing below are still accurate as they were measured outside of the software.
