ASUS ROG STRIX B850-I GAMING WIFI Mini ITX Motherboard

The ROG Strix B850-I Gaming WiFi delivers high-performance computing in a compact Mini ITX form factor, designed for advanced gaming systems and AI-powered applications. Built on the AMD B850 chipset with AM5 socket compatibility, this motherboard supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors.

Performance and Power Delivery

Featuring a robust 10+2+1 power stage design rated for 70 amps per stage, the B850-I handles demanding workloads and overclocking with ease. The ten-layer PCB construction efficiently dissipates heat around voltage regulators, while high-end alloy chokes and durable capacitors ensure stable operation under extreme conditions. Dynamic OC Switcher and Core Flex technologies provide precise control over CPU performance, automatically adjusting between manual overclocking for multithreaded tasks and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded operations.

Memory and Storage

Two DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 96GB of memory with speeds exceeding 8400MT/s when overclocked with compatible Ryzen processors. AMD EXPO and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) support ensures optimal performance from enthusiast-grade memory kits. Storage flexibility comes from two M.2 slots supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 (with Ryzen 9000/7000 Series) and two SATA III ports, with AMD RAIDXpert2 technology available for RAID configurations.

Connectivity and Networking

WiFi 7 technology with dual Q-Antenna transceivers delivers speeds up to 2.9Gbps across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Multi-Link Operation provides stable, low-latency wireless connectivity. Wired networking features Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet for transfer speeds 2.5 times faster than standard gigabit connections. The motherboard includes comprehensive USB support with USB 20Gbps Type-C, multiple USB 10Gbps ports, and front-panel connectivity options.

Cooling and Thermal Management

An integrated VRM heatsink with active fan cooling extends over the rear I/O, maximizing surface area while maintaining clearance for large CPU coolers. M.2 and chipset heatsinks keep NVMe drives at optimal temperatures. High-conductivity thermal pads improve heat transfer between power stages and heatsinks. Multiple fan headers including CPU, AIO pump, chassis, and extra flow fan connectors provide flexible cooling configurations.

AI Intelligence Features

ASUS AI Advisor uses natural language processing to help users explore motherboard features and settings. AI Overclocking automatically profiles your CPU and cooling system to determine optimal configurations. AI Networking II continuously optimizes network performance for seamless WiFi 7 connectivity.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim enables tool-free graphics card removal with a simple tilt motion. M.2 Q-Slide and Q-Latch designs support tool-free SSD installation for 2242, 2260, and 2280 drives. Q-Antenna snap-in design simplifies WiFi antenna attachment. Clear CMOS and BIOS FlashBack buttons allow easy BIOS recovery and updates without installed components.

Audio and RGB Lighting

ROG SupremeFX audio with ALC4080 codec delivers 32-bit/384kHz high-resolution playback across all channels. Dolby Atmos support provides immersive three-dimensional surround sound. Aura Sync RGB lighting integrates with compatible components for unified lighting effects controlled through Armoury Crate software.
