Power immersive gaming experiences and content creation with the ASUS ROG X870-A GAMING WIFI AM5 ATX Motherboard as your foundation for your custom build. Supporting AMD 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors and fast connectivity, this socket AM5 motherboard is ready for overclocked components and demanding AI workloads.
Four DDR5 DIMM slots are available, supporting up to 192GB of memory for smooth multitasking, large projects, and demanding applications. For storage, you can install up to two M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSDs alongside two PCIe 4.0 drives to store your games library and important files. There are also two SATA III connectors. A PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is available for powerful graphics cards while the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot supports compatible expansions. With two USB4 ports on the rear panel, you can connect 40 Gb/s compatible devices or a USB-C compatible 8K display. They are complemented by a USB-C and five USB-A ports that can transfer up to 10 Gb/s with compatible devices. Four 5 Gb/s USB-A ports are also available. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet port provides you with fast connections to compatible network devices. Windows 11 is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.
ASUS AI Intelligence
AI Overclocking
Maximize CPU performance with predictions for ideal CPU and cooling settings, pushing your system to its limits.
AI Cooling II
Maintain optimal thermals and reduced noise with dynamic fan speed adjustments based on CPU temperatures.
AI Networking II
Optimize network performance and help ensure seamless connectivity and maximized Wi-Fi 7 speeds.
Performance Overclocking
Dynamic OC Switcher
The Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced current protection mechanism to help prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.
Core Flex
Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control power and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.
Asynchronous Clock
The ROG Strix X870-A features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed to drive peak CPU performance while maintaining the stability of related clock domains.
Precision Boost Overdrive Enhancement
AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.
Performance
Overclocking Memory
This motherboard is ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support.
AEMP
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules.
Power Design
Sporting 16+2+2 power stages with two 8-pin ProCool II power connectors, the ROG STRIX X870-A GAMING WIFI delivers reliable and stable performance with high-core count CPUs, graphics cards, and other power-intensive components. The Digi+ VRM provides real-time voltage control while the durable chokes, capacitors, and eight-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around voltage regulators and offers greater overclocking headroom.
Advanced Cooling
Designed for overclocking, this motherboard maintains optimal performance and stability with fan and AIO pump headers, an M.2 backplate, and heat sinks for the M.2 slots and VRM.
Connectivity
Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 7 supports 320 MHz bandwidth on the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) ensures stable connections and low latency, supporting 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands for enhanced coverage and throughput.
2.5G Ethernet
An onboard 2.5G Ethernet port provides fast and stable connectivity to compatible wired devices.
Dual USB4 Connectivity
Transfer massive project files with 40 Gb/s compatible storage drives. The USB4 ports also allow you to connect either one 8K monitor or two 4K displays for enhanced multitasking.
Front 10G USB-C
This motherboard features a USB-C front panel connector for speedy data transfers with up to 10 Gb/s devices. Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology provides up to 30W charging with compatible tablets and mobile devices.
DIY Friendly
Easy M.2 Installation
ASUS M.2 Q-Release, Q-Slide and Q-Latch technologies allows you to quickly install or remove M.2 SSDs without the need for tools or screws.
PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim
With PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. Users no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.
Q-Antenna
With Q-Antenna, attaching a Wi-Fi antenna to your PC is a snap. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place.
Q-LED
The on-board Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components are functioning normally during startup. It can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed.
Clear CMOS and BIOS FlashBack
Clear the CMOS at the touch of a button to help remove data corruption from the chip. BIOS FlashBack makes BIOS updates easy. Just load the BIOS file onto a FAT32 USB stick, insert it into the BIOS FlashBack port, and press a button. No CPU or memory needed.
