Biostar AMD B550MX Chipset, Socket AM4 for Ryzen, Micro-ATX Motherboard

B550MX/E PRO Overview
CPU-Chipset
AMD B550 chipset
AMD B550 is the high-end chipset for overclockers and tweakers who need robust platforms. This chip provides the ultimate low-level control to its users and delivers
ultimate graphics card bandwidth.It also supports PCI-E Gen4 bandwidth

Audio
HD Audio
Provides high quality sound with minimal loss of audio fidelity.

Hi-Fi Ground
Hi-Fi Ground ( Golden Line ) is noise-blocking multi-layer PCB design to isolates analog audio signals from digital sources. Unique PCB layout is ideal for exceptional clarity
and high fidelity sound.

Video
HDMI 2.0
HDMI 2.0 supports true 4K resolution- 4096*2160@60hz. A significant increase in bandwidth is up to 18mbps, and significant enhancements are added to support the
continued increase consumer demands on video and audio experience.

DVI
DVI is better than VGA for LCD displays since it is digital while VGA is analog. For LCD displays, the picture is digitized pixel per pixel. Through DVI, the panel gets data for each
pixel, so the picture generated in the Graphics device matches the pixels on the panel itself.

DX12
DirectX 12 introduces the next version of Direct3D, the graphics API at the heart of DirectX. Direct3D is one of the most critical pieces of a game or game engine, and we've
redesigned it to be faster and more efficient than ever before. Direct3D 12 enables richer scenes, more objects, and full utilization of modern GPU hardware.
Integrated HDMI with HDCP
Onboard HDMI connector allows full video & audio support. It has industry-leading high definition video quality.

Speed
PCIe M.2
PCIe M.2 32Gb/s is the latest storage interface, it delivers the highest bandwidth and lower latency. It's 3 times faster compared with PCIe M.2 10Gb/s.

PCIe Gen 3.0
PCIe 3.0 is the next evolution of the ubiquitous and general-purpose PCI Express I/O standard. At 8GT/s bit rate, the interconnect performance bandwidth is doubled over PCIe
2.0, while preserving compatibility with software and mechanical interfaces.

SATAIII 6Gbps
SATAIII 6Gbps provides a higher bandwidth to retrieve and transfer HD media. With this super speed data transfer, SATAIII allows an incredible data boost which is 2x faster than
the SATA II.

Dual DDR4
The primary advantages of DDR4 over DDR3, include higher module density, lower voltage requirements, coupled with higher data transfer rate.

PCIe 4.0
PCIe 4.0 is the next evolution of the ubiquitous and general-purpose PCI Express I/O standard. At 16GT/s bit rate, the interconnect performance bandwidth is doubled over
PCIe 3.0, while preserving compatibility with software and mechanical interfaces.

PCIe M.2 4.0
PCIe M.2 4.0 is the latest storage interface, it delivers the highest bandwidth and lower latency. It is 2 times faster compared with PCIe M.2 3.0.

USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A
USB 3.2 Gen1 delivers a compelling performance boosts and can be used to connect multiple devices without worrying about compatibility. It is capable of data transfer
speeds up to 5Gbps and backwards compatible with all existing USB products.

Digital PWN
Digital PWM controller is with dual-output multiphase that faster transient performance and accurately regulated frequency control. It can be enabled to greatly increase system
efficiency.

Durable
Super Durable Solid Caps
The best quality solid state capacitors with ultra low ESR design, the Super Durable Solid Caps doubles the lifespan.
Moistureproof of PCB The popularity of PC usage and working environment is getting deteriorating and moist
(rural, coastal, etc.). The PCB will be oxidizing easily by damp or absorbed moisture, and ionic migration or CAF (Conductive Anodic Filament) will be generated. Moisture-proof PCB
meets high density and high reliability requirements for moisture proof.

Protection
ESD Protection
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is the major factor to destroy the PC by electrical overstress (EOS) condition. ESD occurred by PC users when touch any devices connect to a PC, which
may result in damage to the motherboard or parts. ESD protection is designed to protect the motherboard and equipment from damage by EOS.

OC / OV / OH Protection
OC / OV / OH Protection design detects overvoltage conditions and prevents voltage surges from spreading in real time. It also actively cuts off the overvoltage supply to
protect your system.

DIY
UEFI BIOS
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a brand new framework that provides a revolutionary interface. It is a modern clear and easy-to-use graphical user interface. The
UEFI comes with a colorful easy-understand icons leads users into the setup layer directly.

BIO-Flasher
BIO-Flasher is a convenient BIOS update tool. Just launch this tool and put the BIOS on USB pen driver before entering the OS. You can update your BIOS with only a few clicks
without preparing an additional floppy disk or other complicated flash utility.

A.I FAN
With A.I FAN users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. According to different cooling needs and usage scenarios, users can control
speed modes. Allows users to have more customizability of fan modes and automatically detects different temperatures to make fan operate at defined speed for optimal cooling
performance. Furthermore, A.I FAN support both PWM and DC voltage fans for more cooling options.

Debug LED
Debug LED helps you identify any issues going with your board or hardware. When error occurs, the corresponding LED lights will inform you on the status of your board or
hardware to shorten the test time effectively.
