DDR5 Memory and Power Delivery

Equipped with 2 DDR5 DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB of memory at speeds reaching 8200+ MHz (OC), this motherboard handles memory-intensive applications with ease. The 6+1+1 phase power design with Dr.MOS technology ensures stable power delivery to your CPU, while the 6-layer PCB construction provides enhanced signal integrity for memory overclocking. Both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles are supported for simplified overclocking.

PCIe 5.0 and Storage Options

The B850M-X WiFi features one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with reinforced steel construction for modern graphics cards, plus an additional PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (x4 mode) and PCIe 4.0 x1 slot for expansion. Storage flexibility comes from the Blazing M.2 socket supporting PCIe Gen5 x4 speeds (128 Gb/s), a second Hyper M.2 socket with PCIe Gen4 x4 support, and four SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors. RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations are supported for both NVMe and SATA devices.

Connectivity and Networking

Integrated WiFi 6E 802.11axe with Bluetooth 5.2 provides wireless connectivity across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands using dual antennas. The Dragon RTL8125BG controller delivers 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet with intelligent bandwidth management. USB connectivity includes one USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C port on the rear panel, three USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, and multiple USB 2.0 ports with additional front panel headers for case connectivity.

Display and Audio

Graphics output options include one HDMI 2.1 port and one DisplayPort 1.4, both supporting 4K 120Hz resolution with HDR and HDCP 2.3. The Realtek ALC897 audio codec with Nahimic Audio software delivers 7.1 channel HD audio with noise suppression, echo cancellation, and Sound Tracker features for immersive gaming audio.

User-Friendly Features

The BIOS Flashback button enables firmware updates using only a USB drive and power supply—no CPU or RAM required. ASRock Auto Driver Installer simplifies initial setup by pre-installing LAN drivers for easy access to additional drivers. Polychrome RGB headers support synchronized lighting effects across compatible devices, while SignalRGB integration provides advanced lighting customization. Smart fan control manages up to six fan/pump connectors including dedicated CPU, chassis, water pump, and AIO pump headers.
