ASUS ROG STRIX B850-E Gaming WiFi Motherboard

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

AMD B850 Chipset with AM5 Socket

Built on the AMD B850 platform, this motherboard supports the latest Ryzen 9000 and 7000 Series processors through the AM5 socket. The 16+2+2 power stage design with ProCool connectors ensures stable power delivery for demanding applications and overclocking scenarios.

DDR5 Memory Support

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB of memory at speeds exceeding 8000MT/s when overclocked. AMD EXPO profiles and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) technology optimize memory performance for both standard and PMIC-restricted modules.

PCIe 5.0 and Storage Expansion

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot delivers maximum bandwidth for graphics cards, while five M.2 slots accommodate NVMe SSDs. Three M.2 slots support PCIe 5.0 x4 connectivity with Ryzen 9000/7000 processors, complemented by integrated heatsinks and an M.2 backplate for thermal management. Four SATA III ports provide additional storage options.

WiFi 7 and USB4 Connectivity

WiFi 7 technology delivers up to 6.5Gbps transfer rates across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with 320MHz bandwidth support. The included Q-Antenna ensures optimal signal reception. Realtek 5Gb Ethernet provides wired networking, while the USB4 Type-C port offers 40Gbps bidirectional bandwidth with display output capability. An additional USB 20Gbps Type-C port supports Power Delivery 3.0 up to 30W for fast device charging.

AI-Enhanced Features

ASUS AI Advisor simplifies motherboard configuration through natural language processing. AI Overclocking analyzes CPU and cooling capabilities to optimize performance automatically. AI Networking II continuously adjusts network parameters for stable connectivity and maximum WiFi 7 speeds.

Advanced Overclocking Controls

Dynamic OC Switcher alternates between manual overclocking for multi-threaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks based on temperature and current thresholds. Core Flex provides granular control over clock speeds, power limits, and thermal parameters. PBO Enhancement pushes AMD's algorithm further by leveraging the robust power delivery system.

Cooling System

Two VRM heatsinks connected by a heatpipe dissipate heat across power stages. M.2 heatsinks cover all slots to maintain optimal SSD temperatures. Seven fan headers (two CPU, one AIO pump, five chassis) support PWM and DC modes for comprehensive cooling management.

Tool-Free Installation

PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim enables graphics card removal by tilting the card toward the latch. M.2 Q-Release switches eliminate screws for heatsink removal, while Q-Slide and Q-Latch mechanisms simplify SSD installation. Q-Code LED displays diagnostic codes, and onboard Q-LED indicators confirm component functionality during startup.

Audio and RGB

ROG SupremeFX audio features the ALC4080 codec with 32-bit/384kHz playback and Dolby Atmos support. Aura Sync RGB lighting controls onboard LEDs and compatible accessories through Armoury Crate software.

Software Suite

Included utilities comprise ASUS GlideX for cross-device screen sharing, HWiNFO for system monitoring, ASUS DriverHub for automated driver updates, and a 60-day AIDA64 Extreme subscription for benchmarking and diagnostics.
