• USB Ports – Supports total 19 USB ports including USB 20Gbps
• Dolby Atmos – ROG and Dolby have partnered to bring superior gaming audio quality to users. Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, which enables immersive three-dimensional audio to be perceived from above, below and around the listener.
• SupremeFX – ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix B850-F implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.

• PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim – With PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. This makes upgrades and maintenance easier than ever before. Users will no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.
• M.2 Q-Release – The M.2 heatsink features a convenient switch* to quickly remove it, eliminating the need for tiny screws during SSD installation. Its strong locking mechanism also provides a snug contact surface, helping to ensure reliable heat dissipation for your SSD.
• M.2 Q-Slide – This new sliding M.2 latch design supports sizes 2242, 2260 and 2280 for easy device installation.
• New M.2 Q-Latch – The new Q-Latch design allows for tool-free installation or removal of M.2 SSDs with just one press.
• Q-Antenna – With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.
• Q-LED – The on-board Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components – CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage devices  are functioning normally during startup. Builders can use the Q-LED feature to correct power delivery issues affecting their motherboard, and it can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed–even before attempting to boot a newly built PC.
• Clear CMOS & BIOS FlashBack – The Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected. BIOS FlashBack is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.
