ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi Motherboard

The ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi combines a distinctive white PCB design with cutting-edge performance for AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors. Built on the AMD X870 chipset with AM5 socket support, this ATX motherboard delivers advanced connectivity and power delivery for high-performance gaming and content creation builds.

Power Delivery and Overclocking

Featuring 16+2+2 power stages, the X870-A handles demanding workloads with ease. Dynamic OC Switcher automatically adjusts between manual overclocking for multithreaded tasks and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded applications. Core Flex technology provides granular control over clock speeds, power limits, and thermals, while the built-in asynchronous clock generator isolates CPU base clock from memory and PCIe speeds for maximum frequency flexibility.

DDR5 Memory Support

Four DIMM slots support DDR5 memory up to 8000+MT/s with overclocking, accommodating up to 256GB total capacity. AMD EXPO profiles enable easy memory overclocking, while ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) extends compatibility to PMIC-restricted modules.

Storage and Expansion

Four M.2 slots provide extensive NVMe storage options, with two slots supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 for transfer speeds up to 16GB/s. Each M.2 slot includes heatsink coverage for optimal thermal performance. The motherboard features one PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot with Q-Release Slim mechanism for tool-free graphics card installation and removal. Two SATA III ports offer additional storage connectivity.

WiFi 7 and Networking

WiFi 7 (802.11be) delivers speeds up to 2.9Gbps across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with Multi-Link Operation for reduced latency. The included ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna features dual transceivers for improved signal quality. Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet provides wired connectivity at 2.5 times standard Gigabit speeds.

USB Connectivity

Dual USB4 ports each provide 40Gbps bidirectional bandwidth with support for 8K single display or dual 4K displays. The rear panel includes one USB 10Gbps Type-C port with 30W Power Delivery, five USB 10Gbps Type-A ports, and four USB 5Gbps Type-A ports. Front panel headers support USB 20Gbps Type-C and multiple USB 5Gbps and USB 2.0 connections.

Cooling Solutions

VRM heatsinks connected by heatpipe share cooling capacity across power stages. High-conductivity thermal pads improve heat transfer between components. The motherboard provides dedicated CPU fan headers, an AIO pump header, and five chassis fan headers with PWM/DC auto-detection. An integrated M.2 backplate helps maintain optimal drive temperatures.

AI Features

AI Overclocking profiles CPU and cooling capabilities to predict optimal configurations. AI Cooling II balances thermals and acoustics automatically. AI Networking II optimizes network performance and maintains seamless WiFi 7 connectivity.

Audio and RGB

ROG SupremeFX with ALC4080 codec delivers 7.1 surround sound with 32-bit/384kHz playback. Dolby Atmos support provides three-dimensional audio positioning. Aura Sync RGB lighting synchronizes with compatible ROG peripherals and components.

Easy Installation Features

PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim, M.2 Q-Release, M.2 Q-Slide, and M.2 Q-Latch designs eliminate screws and simplify component installation. Q-LED troubleshooting lights indicate component status during startup. BIOS FlashBack and Clear CMOS buttons on the rear I/O enable easy firmware updates and settings reset.
