ROG STRIX X870-A GAMING WIFI
Elevate your build with the ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi. Featuring a sleek white PCB and support for AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors, this motherboard delivers the power and connectivity needed for advanced AI applications. With DDR5 support, full PCIe 5.0 capabilities, dual USB4® ports, and WiFi 7, it's the ultimate blend of style and performance.
ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits.
Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.
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 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 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.
For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Strix X870-A features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed. Drive CPU performance to its absolute brink while maintaining the stability of related clock domains.
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.
The Strix X870-A is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules.
ASUS GlideX is a cross-device, cross-platform screen-sharing, screen-control and operation solution for enhanced productivity across PCs, tablets, and smartphones via USB or WiFi. Features include screen mirroring, screen extension, unified control with one keyboard and mouse, easy file transfers, and using mobile cameras as PC webcams. It’s compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
The ROG Strix X870-A stands out with its striking white PCB, offering a fresh and modern aesthetic that seamlessly complements almost any system build. The matching metallic heatsinks enhance its clean, crisp look, while subtle RGB lighting on the I/O shroud allows you to either maintain a sleek, understated appearance or showcase a bold, luminous design.
ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.
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.
