ROG Strix B250G Gaming has arrived with the classic ROG red and black color theme and katana-inspired markings for an aggressive look befitting gamers who rule the battlefield. Above its sleek and stealthy matte black PCB accented with striking, dual-colored sword-slash patterns stands a ROG nameplate that boldly declares your gaming pride. A premium, durable brushed-metal heatsink with an angular design and notched, battle-worn look reflects light from different angles. Matching its aggressive appearance, expect no less in performance from the ROG Strix B250G Gaming motherboard!

SHIELDED AUDIO, SUPERIOR SOUND

ROG Strix's awesome SupremeFX audio technology has levelled up, delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection for best-ever ROG recording quality – and 120dB on line-out for crystal-clear sound! 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!

INTEL GIGABIT ETHERNET

MORE THROUGHPUT AND LESS CPU USAGE
FOR GREAT GAMING EXPERIENCES

ROG Strix B250G Gaming features the very latest Intel Ethernet (I219-V) for faster, smoother gaming. Intel's LAN has the serious double advantage of reducing CPU overhead while offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput. This significantly reduces the processor's workload, so there's more power for gaming.

LANGUARD

PUMPED-UP THROUGHPUT, BEST SURGE PROTECTION

LANGuard means safer, more reliable connections for your battles! Advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounting processes join forces to protect your ROG Strix B250G Gaming's connection and deliver pumped-up throughput, plus electrostatically guarded and surge-protected components (ESD Guards) for 1.9x-greater tolerance to static electricity and 2.5x-greater protection (up to 15 kV) against surges!

DUAL M.2

LET YOUR SSD SCREAM AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 32GBPS

ROG Strix B250G Gaming features dual M.2 slots with Socket 3 and M-key support. One slot supports PCIe 3.0 (2242/2260/2280/22110) for NVMe, and the other slot supports both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x 4 modes.Together, they give you the fastest and most-flexible M.2 interface available.

INTEL OPTANE MEMORY READY
