ASUS ROG STRIX B850-F Gaming WiFi Motherboard

The ROG STRIX B850-F Gaming WiFi delivers high-performance computing for AMD Ryzen 9000 Series Desktop Processors. This ATX motherboard combines robust power delivery, advanced connectivity, and AI-enhanced features for demanding gaming and professional workloads.

Power Delivery and Performance

Built with a 16+2+2 power stage design, each stage rated for 80 amps, this motherboard provides stable power delivery for high-performance CPUs. The eight-layer PCB design efficiently dissipates heat around voltage regulators, while dual ProCool power connectors ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) Enhancement pushes CPU performance further by aggressively tuning parameters to leverage the robust power solution.

Memory and Storage

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support speeds up to 8000+MT/s with AMD EXPO profiles and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) for PMIC-restricted modules. Storage flexibility comes from four M.2 slots with PCIe 5.0 support and two SATA III ports. M.2 heatsinks with integrated backplate maintain optimal temperatures for consistent NVMe SSD performance.

Connectivity Features

WiFi 7 technology with dual transceivers across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands delivers speeds up to 2.9Gbps. Multi-Link Operation provides stable connections with reduced latency. Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet offers wired speeds 2.5 times faster than standard connections. The motherboard supports 19 total USB ports, including USB 20Gbps Type-C, USB 10Gbps, and USB 5Gbps connections.

Audio and Graphics

ROG SupremeFX audio with ALC4080 codec delivers 32-bit/384kHz playback across all channels. Dolby Atmos support creates immersive three-dimensional audio with height channels. Integrated graphics output through HDMI and DisplayPort supports Ryzen processors with built-in graphics.

Installation and Management

PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim allows tool-free graphics card removal by tilting toward the latch. M.2 Q-Release, Q-Slide, and Q-Latch designs eliminate screws for fast SSD installation. Q-LED troubleshooting lights indicate CPU, RAM, graphics card, and storage status during startup. BIOS FlashBack enables BIOS updates via USB without CPU or memory installed.

AI Intelligence

ASUS AI Advisor uses natural language processing to help users explore motherboard features and settings. AI Networking II continuously optimizes network performance for seamless WiFi 7 connectivity.

Cooling Solution

VRM heatsink array with one expanding underneath the I/O shroud provides ample surface area for heat dissipation. High-conductivity thermal pads improve heat transfer between power stages and heatsinks. Multiple PWM/DC fan headers support CPU coolers, AIO pumps, and chassis fans with auto-detection.

Software Suite

Armoury Crate provides centralized control for RGB lighting with Aura Sync, fan management through Fan Xpert4, and system monitoring. ASUS GlideX enables cross-device screen sharing across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Includes sixty-day AIDA64 Extreme subscription for hardware monitoring and benchmarking.
