Unthrottled Performance Pro Art B550-Creator provides robust power delivery & comprehensive cooling to handle the latest AMD Ryzen&132;&162; processors. It also supports PCIe 4.0, providing everything you need for the most demanding multithreaded tasks like 3D or video rendering & software compiling. Robust Power Design Pro Art B550-Creator provides robust power delivery to handle the full power of latest Ryzen processors & improve overall system stability. Teamed Power Stages 12+2 power stages combine high-side & low-side MOSFETs & drivers into a single package, delivering the power & efficiency that the latest AMD Ryzen processors dem&. Digi+ Power Control The ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry & ensures ultra-smooth power delivery to the CPU. Pro Cool II Power Connector The Pro Cool socket is built to exacting specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines, enabling lower impedance & better heat dissipation. Choke & Capacitor Superior alloy chokes & durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, providing a higher level of performance than the industry standard. 6-Layer PCB The 6-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around the VRM to improve overall system stability & give the CPU more overclocking headroom. Cool to the Core The VRM & M.2 heatsink designs ensure effective cooling of the CPU & SSD to ensure system stability & fast storage performance for seamless content creation workflows. VRM Heatsink & Thermal Pad Large, high-mass heatsinks with an extensive surface area along with high-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from VRM & choke areas to improve heat dissipation. M.2 Heatsink Both M.2 drives sit under a passive heatsink to ward off the throttling that can occur with sustained transfers. Stack Cool 3+ Layers of 2-ounce copper draw heat away from critical components to keep them at their optimal operating temperatures. Industry-Leading Security Advanced security from ASUS Control Center Express to protect your data & system. USB (Universal Serial Bus) Port Management Enable or disable the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port or set it to Read Only to prevent data leaks. Software Blacklist A software blacklist is also available to prevent running of high-risk applications for IT security. Registry Editor On/ Off Remotely disable the Registry Editor on client devices to prevent unauthorized changes to system configurations for enhanced security. Pro Art Gives You More Pro Art-exclusive software utilities deliver intuitive system monitoring, audio & networking enhancements that smooth your workflow. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation With working-from-home becoming the new normal, clear online communication is critical, even for content creators. Our latest audio utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone & incoming audio.
