Custom Delta Superflo Fan DELTA

A custom-made low-noise fan efficiently cools the area around the VRM by up to 9° C to give you more overclocking headroom, and it can be turned on or off via the UEFI BIOS. To ensure longevity, the fan utilizes durable bearings with an impressive 60,000-hour L10* lifespan.

* L10 bearing life is a standard metric that specifies the number of hours that 90% of the bearings are expected to still be functioning normally.

I/O Shroud and MOS Heatsink with L-shaped Heatpipe

An L-shaped heatpipe allows for rapid and even heat transfer, while the MOS heatsink provides a large contact area for the MOSFETs and chokes. Together with the aluminum I/O shroud, it offers effective cooling.

Thermal Pads

Helps transfer heat from inductor and phase array to heatsink.

Cooler by Design

ROG Strix B550 series features the most comprehensive cooling options ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.

Power Design

Digital power control and an array of power stages ensure ROG Strix B550-XE Gaming WIFI has the muscle to control the latest AMD processors.
