QUESTION
How much RAM can the ROG Strix B550-F gaming?
The ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WIFI II motherboard has four DIMM slots, which support up to 128GB of DDR4 5100MHz+ memory in the dual channel configuration. This means that the maximum amount of RAM that can be installed on the motherboard is 128GB. It is important to note, however, that the actual amount of RAM that can be supported will depend on the specific type of memory modules used and the capabilities of the processor. It is always a good idea to consult the motherboard’s user manual and the processor’s specifications to determine the maximum amount of RAM that can be installed.
What is the difference between Rog Strix B550 E and F?
The Strix-F motherboard has a single PCIe 4.0 slot, which mean it does not support Crossfire or SLI. The Strix-E, on the other hand, has two PCIe 4.0 slots, which can be configured for 1×16 or 2×8 bandwidth. That allows for Crossfire and SLI support on the Strix-E.
