hey i have a question i recently bought the rog strix b450-f gaming motherboard.I try to turn bluetooth device to play a game and it say bluetooth is not install on that device

Drivers?  Does the mobo even have onboard BT to begin with?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Most motherboards do not come with bluetooth. If there's no antenna connectors on the board, it doesn't have WiFi or Bluetooth.

The "ROG Strix B450-F" doesn't show antenna connectors, so it's not going to have it. 

 

The "ASUS ROG Strix B450-I" does have WiFi and Bluetooth on it, but it's a mATX board.

 

You have two options here. Purchase a USB Bluetooth dongle, cheap and easy. Or buy a PCIe WiFi+BT card. However I have to mention that Bluetooth is still a USB device in all of these devices, so the Bluetooth USB adapter is the easiest solution to get bluetooth.

i barely know anything about gaming motherboard and i just started using it and is there a way to add the bluetooth

Easy peasy. Get a Bluetooth usb dongle.  So small they look like a port plug and they’re cheap.  BT has a bunch of versions.  The latest I’ve heard of is 5, though I’m likely out of date.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

can u download the bluetooth on the website without buying the usb 

No. Bluetooth is like wifi. It requires a phsyical antennae and separate equipment to run it.

Some motherboards have the little pcb controlling BT integrated into them, many dont however.

 

Adapters are cheap and widely available. $3-35$ depending on how much you want to spend.

Lol it’s not software.  It’s a tiny radio inside a usb stick. Bluetooth is very high frequency extremely short range radio.  You have no transceiver.  You can buy them though and they’re so small the fit inside a “nub” USB device.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.
