Can I overclock my CPU on this board?

No. The B250 chipset does not support CPU overclocking. You need a Z270 board for that.

Which CPUs does it support?

It uses the LGA 1151 socket and supports Intel 6th and 7th generation Core processors. Newer generations will not fit.

How many M.2 slots does it have?

It has two M.2 slots for NVMe or SATA solid-state drives.

Does it support RGB lighting?

Yes. It has Aura Sync RGB lighting and headers for connecting RGB strips and compatible components.

Is it good for a new build today?

Only if you already own a compatible 6th or 7th gen Intel CPU. For a new build, a current socket board makes more sense.

Our take on the Asus ROG STRIX B250H GAMING Motherboard

The Asus ROG Strix B250H Gaming is an ATX motherboard for Intel's 6th and 7th generation Core processors on the LGA 1151 socket, built on the B250 chipset. It targets budget-conscious gamers who want ROG styling, Aura Sync RGB lighting, and Intel Gigabit Ethernet without paying for overclocking features. Unlike Z270 boards, it does not support CPU overclocking, but it covers the essentials: dual M.2 slots, DDR4 memory support, and SupremeFX audio. It suits builders putting together an affordable gaming PC around a locked Intel chip.
