X870 MAX GAMING WIFI 7
ASUS X870 series motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of AMD Ryzen™ 9000 series processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, the X870 MAX GAMING WIFI7 motherboard provides users and PC DIY builders with a range of performance optimizations via intuitive software and firmware features. It’s designed to be Advanced AI PC-ready, offering the power and connectivity needed for demanding AI applications.
ASUS AI Advisor
ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.
AI Cooling II
Optimised thermals and reduced noise via dynamic adjustment of fan speeds, based on CPU temperatures.
Robust Power Design
Stable power is crucial for maximising the performance of AMD processors. The X870 series is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 12(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80 amperes each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future AMD processors.
8 Layer PCB
The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
ProCool Power Connectors
Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard’s link to the power supply with 8 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processor. Each connector features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.
Digi+ VRM Control
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.
Enhanced DDR5 Performance
For entry-level modules without EXPO™ support, ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) automatically detects memory chips and provides optimised profiles for enhanced performance. For those looking to surpass stock DDR5 speeds, the X870 MAX GAMING WIFI7 offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support and a wide array of UEFI settings for further performance tweaks.
Three M.2 slots (up to 128 Gbps)
X870 MAX GAMING WIFI7 offers a total of three M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, two that support 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
ASUS Fan Xpert 4
ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software offers comprehensive control over fans and AIO coolers. Auto-Tuning mode configures settings with one click, while Extreme Quiet mode reduces fan speeds for silent operation during light tasks. Controls are also available via the UEFI BIOS.
Empowering Connections
The X870 series motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity, including support for WiFi 7, PCIe 5.0, Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet, and an array of USB ports.
WiFi 7 / Q-Antenna
The next-gen WiFi 7 supports 160 MHz bandwidth in 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. With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.
PCIe Slot Q-Release
A physical lever unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one tap, greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade to a new graphics card or other compatible device.
