The ROG Strix B550i runs on the B550 chipset, meaning it will allow you to run the latest and greatest in AMD Ryzen gaming. Provided you update the bios, the B550i will let you run up to Zen 3 processors, with the board supporting up to two sticks of DDR4 memory and has a bit of room to overclock should you choose to go down that path. The motherboard has limited space for expansion, but features a single PCIe x16 Gen 4.0, and has space for a single M.2 PCIe 3.0 drive.

In this article, we are talking about the ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming – the direct successor to the really successful ROG Strix B450-I Gaming. In my opinion, the model based on the AMD B450 chipset was simply the best “motherboard” of the ITX-format among the competitors – a loud statement, given the fact that I regard myself more as ASUS haters than fans. The new model inherited most of the “chips” of the previous one, received a number of new, more complete appearance, but the price, suddenly, the same penny per penny – $ 230 recommended. And this is taking into account the fact that the B550 chipset itself is noticeably more expensive than the B450, as well as the manufacturer’s revision of the pricing policy for video cards and boards.

ASUS also included a unique feature in its USB Type-C audio connector.
£200 is steep for a B550 motherboard, even in the typically more expensive Mini-ITX form factor. And with tough competition from the similarly priced ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/AX motherboard in particular, can ASUS’ ROG STRIX B550-I Gaming prove its worth? Let’s take a look.

The box for the ROG Strix B550-I Gaming doesn’t really look any different from any of the ROG Strix ITX boards I’ve seen for the last 4 or 5 generations. This includes the black background with the ROG logo with that Strix rainbow effect and then the picture of the board on the front.
