ASUS’ QVL highlights support for Crucial 5.1GHz memory modules at the top end. Positioning of these slots is ideal for modern Mini-ITX motherboards. Two DDR4 modules can be installed in ASUS’ single-latch DIMM slots. Alternatively, cases like the Silverstone SUGO 14 that we recently examined have a backplate cut-out that may permit for some SSD heatsinks to be installed. But some of our smart audience members have pointed out the ability to perhaps use some thermal pads to bridge the gap between a hot SSD and the chassis’ metal motherboard tray. There is clearly no room for large M.2 heatsinks, depending on spacing in your chassis.

This rear-side connector supports PCIe 3.0 x4 or SATA 6Gbps M.2 SSDs up to 80mm in length and is driven by lanes from the B550 chipset. On the rear side, we have nothing of note other than the M.2 SSD connector. This shroud is not only used to cover the rear IO ports but also to sit atop the VRM cooling fan.Īnother smart mounting location is the clear CMOS jumper above the PCIe slot meaning that it is accessible even with a graphics card installed. ASUS uses an 8-layer PCB which is a positive sign for quality.Ī combined rear IO shroud connects the motherboard’s VRM heatsink and integrates relatively seamlessly with the overall design.

The B550-I Gaming sticks with ASUS’ consistent ROG STRIX styling primarily dark black and grey colouring is used and should be easily matched with other components.
