B550MXC 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
BIOSTAR 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.

AR
Video+

HDMI 4K2K

resolution of full HD, 4K2K display is faithfully express bright, highly detailed content that
fills the entire screen with lifelike images. Connectivity with PCs via a single HDMI cable
for displaying 4K2K data.
ST
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

PCIe M.2
B

PCIe M.2 32Gb/s delivers the highest bandwidth and lower latency. It is 3 times faster
compared with PCIe M.2 10Gb/s.

PCIe 3.0
PCIe 3.0 is 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 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 4.0 M.2

AR
PCIe 4.0 M.2 delivers the highest bandwidth and lower latency. It is 2 times faster
compared with PCIe 3.0 M.2 .

 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.
