Asus ROG STRIX X870-I GAMING WIFI DDR5 AMD Motherboard

Key Features

ROG STRIX X870-I GAMING WIFI

The ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WiFi integrates cutting-edge technology into a sleek mini-ITX form factor, enhanced by the ROG Strix Hive II for streamlined control. It features PCIe 5.0 slots for graphics and storage, dual-channel DDR5 slots and robust power delivery for top-tier gaming and heavy workloads. Meanwhile, advanced cooling solutions maintain peak performance, and WiFi 7 ensures ultra-fast connectivity. This platform delivers the power and connectivity that advanced AI PC applications demand.

ASUS AI ADVISOR

Using AI technology to understand natural-language questions or scenario descriptions, ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.

AI OVERCLOCKING

ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits.

AI COOLING II

Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.

AI NETWORKING II

AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimize network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7.

Dynamic OC Switcher

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 latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to 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 clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximize base clock during lighter loads and 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.

PBO 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.

DDR5 DOMINATION

The Strix X870-I is primed and 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.

ROG STRIX HIVE ii

The ROG Hive II is an exclusive accessory designed to deliver user-friendly access to hardware and software features.

ROG FPS Card

The ROG FPS card groups I/O onto a vertically-mounted card, saving valuable motherboard space and tidying cable management.

UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX

The I/O shield and M.2 heatsink feature a perforated metal mesh that can either reflect the glow of internal RGB components or blend seamlessly into the shadows of a stealthy build. The cyber-style text and sharp, angular details firmly establish this motherboard as a member of the ROG Strix family.

BUILD FOR THE MOST ADVANCED PC FOR GAMING AND CREATING

When only the fastest will do, a Strix X870E/X870 motherboard delivers. With USB 4.0 onboard along with robust overclocking¹ capabilities, featuring faster dual-channel DDR5 memory support, AMD EXPO™ technology and PCIe® 5.0 support for both graphics and NVMe, you can play the most demanding games and deliver your biggest projects with the revolutionary performance of an AMD X800-series motherboard and AMD Ryzen™ 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors.
