ASUS X870 MAX GAMING WIFI7 ATX Motherboard

The ASUS X870 MAX GAMING WIFI7 motherboard delivers advanced performance for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors. Built on the AMD X870 chipset with AM5 socket compatibility, this ATX motherboard features robust power delivery, comprehensive cooling solutions, and next-generation connectivity for demanding gaming and AI workloads.

Advanced Power Design

A 12+2+1 DrMOS power stage configuration with 80A-rated components ensures stable power delivery for high-core-count AMD processors. The eight-layer PCB design efficiently dissipates heat around voltage regulators, while proprietary ProCool 8+8 pin connectors improve PSU connections. Digi+ VRM control provides real-time voltage regulation for optimal overclocking headroom.

DDR5 Memory Performance

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB of memory at speeds reaching 8000+MT/s (OC) with AMD EXPO technology. ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) automatically optimizes entry-level memory modules, while extensive UEFI settings enable advanced tuning for enthusiast-grade kits. The dual-channel architecture maximizes bandwidth for demanding applications.

PCIe 5.0 and Storage Connectivity

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot supports next-generation graphics cards with doubled data transfer speeds compared to PCIe 4.0. Three M.2 slots provide flexible storage options: M.2_1 supports PCIe 5.0 x4 (up to 128Gbps), while M.2_2 and M.2_3 offer PCIe 4.0 x4 connectivity. Four SATA III ports accommodate additional drives with RAID 0/1/5/10 support.

WiFi 7 and USB4 Connectivity

Integrated WiFi 7 (802.11be) delivers up to 2.9Gbps transfer rates across 2.4/5/6GHz frequency bands with Multi-Link Operation for stable, low-latency connections. Dual USB4 40Gbps Type-C ports on the rear panel support bi-directional bandwidth and dual 4K display outputs. Front USB 20Gbps Type-C connectivity and Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet provide comprehensive wired and wireless options.

DIY-Friendly Features

Q-Antenna enables tool-free WiFi antenna installation with snap-in mounting. PCIe Slot Q-Release provides one-tap graphics card removal via a physical lever. Q-LED Core displays color-coded POST diagnostics for troubleshooting. BIOS FlashBack allows BIOS updates via USB without CPU or memory installed. SafeSlot reinforced PCIe slots ensure secure card installation.

AI and Cooling Solutions

ASUS AI Advisor simplifies motherboard configuration and feature exploration. AI Cooling II dynamically adjusts fan speeds based on CPU temperatures for optimized thermals and reduced noise. Multiple hybrid fan headers and onboard heatsinks maintain system stability under intensive workloads.

Customization and Software

Armoury Crate provides unified control for Aura Sync RGB lighting across compatible components. Three Addressable RGB Gen 2 headers automatically detect LED counts for synchronized lighting effects. ASUS GlideX enables seamless screen sharing across devices, while DriverHub simplifies driver management with one-click installation and updates.
