ADVANCE YOUR GAMING IMMERSION
ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II is PCIe® 4.0-ready and provides the latest connectivity options for supersmooth networking and blisteringly fast file transfers. Audio enhancements give you a massive advantage, allowing you to pick up on the subtlest of cues for a completely immersive gaming experience.
PCIE 4.0-READY
ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II features two M.2 slots, one of which supports the PCIe 4.0 standard to provide maximum storage flexibility and the lightning-fast data speeds. Both M.2 slots support up to the type 22110 socket and NVM Express® RAID for a performance boost.
WiFi 6E
Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. It delivers ultrafast wireless networking speeds and improved capacity as well as better performance in dense wireless environments.
*WiFi 6E availability and features are dependent on regulatory limitations and co-existence with 5 GHz WiFi.
Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet
Onboard 2.5 Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, lag-free gaming, and high-res video streaming.
SUPREMEFX
Built-in ROG SupremeFX audio technology ensures pristine audio for ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II. Along with ensuring a flat frequency response for a neutral, detailed sound signature, it offers two front-panel outputs driven by op amps that deliver high-quality audio to gaming headsets.
ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE
ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II provides robust power delivery to fuel Ryzen’s cores, comprehensive cooling, and support for faster memory — so it has everything you need to load up your build with high-performance components for playing in the big leagues.
COOLER BY DESIGN
ROG Strix B550 series features the most comprehensive cooling options ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.
ASUS OptiMem II
To provide AMD's latest CPUs unfettered access to memory bandwidth, motherboard trace routing has been reimagined with the ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II. Integrated OptiMem II technology carefully maps memory signal pathways across PCB layers to reduce vias, and it also adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk. To further enhance overclocking headroom for fully stacked memory configurations, a highly customized Daisy Chain layout delivers time-aligned signaling.
PLAY YOUR OWN STYLE
The cyberpunk-inspired aesthetics of ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II are accentuated by the bold slashes and cybertext. By pairing your rig with other products from the diverse ROG ecosystem, you can create a fully customized gaming setup that reflects your personal style.

Prompt and friendly contact. Super fast, reliable service. To be recommended. Thank you very much.
Padraig
Needed a fairly obscure part for part of the power cable on my laptop plug. Delighted to be able to get it from ValuPC. As always a simple process. Ordered and received 2 days later.
Paweł
I have ordered a TV that I couldn't get anywhere else in Ireland and Valu PC had it. Delivery took 2 days and Jim was extremely nice and helpful with everything and even delivered it to me himself. I will definitely be ordering from him again.
Leona
Delivery arrived within a day - and it was Christmas week! Headphones were really competitively priced. Delighted with them. A hassle free online purchase. Very happy with my experience.
Stephen
Wouldn't normally bother with review's but I was really impressed with ValuPC, despite never having heard of them before. While googling a specific laptop model I noticed that they're cheaper than other psychical stores by over €200. I ordered the laptop late one and 2 - 3 it was at my door. Excellent service fast and reliable and have already recommended to others.
James
Was going to go to an English chain of computer shop, googled and seen valupc. I ordered a new laptop and Monitor late Sunday night and had them in my hands on Wednesday morning with everything working as expected. I would recommend Valupc as they are Irish and defiantly good value, will be back in the future.
Pavlo
great deals on the market, which seemed sketchy, but decided to order a monitor anyway. Was delighted to know that I was wrong, The monitor came in perfect condition, nothing bad to say whatsoever. Even had some problems with the delivery and they helped me out! It's a great site to buy electronic things of off, don't think twice about it.
Harry
I was shopping laptops across multiple retailers mainly the typical big ones and went searching laptop sales and found VALU PC. Their laptop prices / specs etc were easily beating the rest so looked into it further.
I even spoke to the owner, had a great, friendly chat and found they were more local than i thought and he guarenteed me 2 days delivery to the door and that's what I got!
