Features:

M.2 Audio Combo
ROG Strix B350-I Gaming features an innovative riser card to help alleviate the constraints imposed by the mini-ITX form factor. The M.2 Audio Combo Card frees up prized real estate by raising M.2 drives and SupremeFX audio circuitry above the mainboard to minimize lateral signal interference. And it's neatly covered by a stylish heatsink that's capable of keeping the latest high-performance SDDs cool.

Shielded audio, superior sound
ROG Strix SupremeFX audio has levelled up, delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection, and 120dB on the line-out for crystal-clear recording and playback. We've also added a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX S1220A codec, plus Texas Instruments® RC4580 and OPA1688 op-amps for high gain with low distortion. It all adds up to audio that envelops you as never before.

Dual Op Amplifiers
One op amp adds voltage gain while the other works as a buffer. Together, they're capable of driving 32-600Ω headphones effortlessly.

LED-Illuminated Audio Jacks
Backlit audio jacks save you from fumbling around in the dark.

Premium Nichicon™ Audio Capacitors
High-quality Japanese-made components that produce a warmer, natural sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

Sonic Studio III
Sonic Studio now supports HRTF-based (head-related transfer function*) virtual surround for VR headsets, casting an immersive aural landscape that draws you deeper into the action. The intuitive Sonic Studio interface also offers a range of EQ options, allowing you to tailor acoustics to suit personal preferences or the characteristics of your headset.

APP-SPECIFIC PROFILES
Apply customized audio settings to different applications, so everything you do is perfectly tuned to the way you want to listen.

SONIC STUDIO LINK
New Sonic Studio Link VR functionality extends its HRTF effects to headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

SURROUND SOUND
Surround sound for a truly immersive audio experience

LET YOUR SSD SCREAM AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 32GBPS
With x4 PCI Express® 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps* data-transfer speeds. It is the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, making your whole gaming PC or professional apps work as fast as possible.

ULTIMATE-SPEED 10Gbps WITH ONBOARD USB 3.1
With two USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A ports, you'll experience data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps – twice as fast as USB 3.1 Gen1. USB 3.1 Gen2 is also completely backward-compatible with existing USB devices – so you'll be set for breakneck USB 3.1 Gen2 speeds with every connection.

MORE THROUGHPUT AND LESS PROCESSING EQUALS FASTER ONLINE PLAY
ROG Strix B350-I Gaming features the very latest Intel® Ethernet Controller I211-AT for faster, smoother gaming. Intel Ethernet controllers have a natural synergy with their processors and chipsets, reducing CPU overhead and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput, so there's more power for games and other tasks.

ONBOARD WI-FI WITH TRANSFER SPEEDS UP TO 867 MBPS
Next-level 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 2x2 dual-band 2.4/5GHz antennas offer up to 867Mbps* transfer speeds — and the very latest Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology ensures that every connected user** experiences the best wireless and online speeds!

DDR4 OVERCLOCKING
Ryzen's mesh architecture favors high memory speeds to deliver peak performance. Featuring a two-slot layout and optimized trace routing, ROG Strix B350-I Gaming unleashes the platform's raw potential by allowing you to drive memory frequencies to DDR4-3600 and beyond.

5-WAY OPTIMIZATION
One click takes care of all that complex tuning. ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart. It dynamically optimizes essential aspects of the system, providing overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig.

• An automated tuning utility that optimizes overclocking and cooling profiles for your unique system configuration.
• Fans stay whisper-quiet for everyday computing, and deliver optimal airflow when the system is crunching through CPU or GPU-intensive tasks.
• All-new stress test that allows users to optimize and overclock for CPU or memory-centric workloads.

CPU PERFORMANCE BOOST
Unleash your PC's full performance with the ASUS AI Suite 3 utility. A TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) is the intelligence behind our automated system-tuning utility, offering the ability to fine-tune voltages, monitor system stats, and adjust overclock parameters for optimal performance.

ALL-ROUND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) you'll enjoy system-wide power savings. The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode — a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers.

FLEXIBLE COOLING CONTROLS FOR AIR OR LIQUID
With ROG Strix B350-I Gaming, you have comprehensive control over fans and even all-in-one (AIO) coolers, via either Fan Xpert 4 or our award-wining UEFI. Whether you're cooling with air or water, Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode, which reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum – keeping your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks.

PRECISE DIGITAL POWER CONTROL
Digi delivers real-time control over voltage droop, switching frequency and power-efficiency settings, allowing you to fine-tune CPU voltage regulation for ultimate stability and performance.

GAME FASTER, RANK HIGHER
ASUS Turbo App is the intuitive tuning panel to boost everything to secure your victory in your favorite titles! Overclock your CPU, prioritize game data across your network and optimize the audio settings for fantastically clear audio and in-game-chat. History is written by the victors, so don't go to war without Turbo App.

COOLER BY DESIGN
ROG Strix B350-I Gaming features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.

Multiple temperature sources
Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors, for workload based cooling. All easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.

4-pin PWM/DC fan
Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

Smart protection
A dedicated integrated circuit that protects each fan header from over-temperature and over-current.

AIO pump
A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups.

AURA LIGHTING CONTROL
With ROG Strix B350-I Gaming we've upgraded our Aura Sync RGB lighting so that you can tastefully accent your build with a range of colors and effects. An array of RGB LEDs is embedded into the M.2 heatsink, so the ROG logo now glows by your command. And for off-board illumination, there are headers for 5050 RGB strips and addressable RGB gear, allowing Aura to radiate throughout an entire chassis. Fire up all your Aura Sync devices and see them perform in perfect harmony!

RGB LIGHTING PERFECTED
ROG Strix B350-I Gaming features an onboard 5050 RGB header and an addressable header that can be connected to compatible lighting strips, fans, coolers, and PC cases, creating a new world of illumination possibilities.

INFINITE LIGHTING POSSIBILITIES
ASUS Aura SDK allows developers to take full advantage of the vast eco-system of Aura Sync-capable PC gear. From in-system illumination to peripherals and beyond, the SDK provides an evolving toolkit of options to enhance games and software with RGB lighting. Game effects, alerts, and audio can all be portrayed via Aura-compatible hardware, creating subtle or dazzling visual cues to augment the action. There's also scope to map system parameters such as temperatures to lighting, giving enthusiasts new ways to monitor vital information.

DRAM OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
1 additional resettable fuse protects connection ports and DRAM against overcurrent and short-circuit damage.

Q-SHIELD
NO pain! Protect your hands from nicks and cuts.

Q-SLOT
1 clip makes it easy to swap or secure your graphics card.

Q-DIMM
