The ASUS ROG B450-F Strix Gaming is another AMD AM4 motherboard that should help filling gaps ASUS' AM4 lineup. So far this is the first B450 motherboard from ASUS. Compared to the ROG B350-F Strix Gaming, the new B450-F Strix Gaming sports a better layout.


The ASUS ROG B450-F Strix Gaming comes with RGB backlight underneath the plastic cover and there are steel reinforcements on two full-sized PCIe slot. In general the layout is quite simple. In total there are three full-sized PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 slots and three PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. In the storage department we find six SATA ports and all of them have been angled.

Apart from that you get two M.2 slots allowing the installation of differently sized SSDs. The first M.2 slot is placed in the middle part of the motherboard and it's compatible with 2280 units, while the second one is close to the PCH area and it can accomodate 22110 units. Looking for additional features we find ASUS ROG SupremeFX onboard audio solution, LAN Guard with an Intel Ethernet port and a good mix of connectors at the I/O panel.

This particular board should be placed somewhere between the mid-range and the high-end market segment, in the case of B450, and also in general we think it could be an interesting choice. So far ASUS has not revealed details on pricing and availability regarding their ASUS ROG B450-F Strix Gaming but we are sure we will get to know more right after the Computex.
