ASUS ROG Strix X670E-F Gaming WiFi AMD Ryzen AM5 ATX motherboard, 16 + 2 power stages, DDR5 support, four M.2 slots with heatsinks, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6E, AI Cooling II, and Aura Sync

Product Information

Fastest Gaming Connectivity: Two PCIe 5.0 expansion slots, three onboard PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 front-panel connector and Thunderbolt ™ header B650 - Gen 4.0 PCI-E x16 for GPU, PCI-E Gen 4 for primary NVME (x4) and x4 GPP) - 36/0 (5) PCI-E / 6 10Gbps USB / 1 20Gbps USB / 4 SATA (PCI-E gen 5 is listed as optional for the NVME)

x DIMM, Max. 128GB, DDR5 6400+(OC)/ 6200(OC)/ 6000(OC)/ 5800(OC)/ 5600(OC)/ 5400(OC)/ 5200/ 5000/ 4800 ECC and Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory This basically means that whilst having multiple PCIe slots open (as well as m.2 slots) would potentially be useful for various expansion options further down the road, if those (PCIe) slots are covered up by the GPU cooler, it doesn't really matter how many more PCIe slots you have on the motherboard since you won't be able to use it.Onboard Intel® 2.5 Gbps Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, low-latency gaming, and high-res video streaming.

ASUS reserves the exclusive right to exclude any entrant from the competition if we suspect that the entrant has violated the contest rules, threatened or otherwise attempted to gain advantage or tried to sabotage the contest. Prizes will be shipped in October 2022 and are not exchangeable for cash. The campaign is in no way sponsored, recommended, administered or associated with third parties. Prizes are subject to availability and we reserve the right to substitute any prize with another of equivalent value without giving notice. Asus gives us 18+2 power stages, with its “Teamed Power Stage Design”—translation: You can strap even the Ryzen 9 7950X to this and it will handle it with ease. Anything less will be a cakewalk, too! This motherboard is likely best paired with the Ryzen 7600X, 7700X, or the 7900X. These are more “gamer”-focused CPUs; most won’t really make use of the monster cores on the 7950X (which might be more at home with content creators on something like the X670E ROG Hero or Extreme.) I think one aspect that potential users of these boards might be overlooking as wel when looking at the available lanes, etcl, should be feature vs expansion capability. Port configuration settings between different BIOS versions or share them with friends. Q-Fan Control

ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE

Industry-Leading Audio: ROG SupremeFX ALC4080 with Savitech SV3H712 amplifier, along with DTS ® Sound Unbound and Sonic Studio III Supported memory types, data rate(Speed), and number of DRAM module vary depending on the CPU and memory configuration, for more information refer to www.asus.com for memory support list. Max boost for AMD Ryzen processors is the maximum frequency achievable by a single core on the processor running a bursty single-threaded workload. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS updates. GD-150 Robust Power Solution: 18 + 2 teamed power stages with 8+8 pin ProCool II power connectors, high-quality alloy chokes and durable capacitors to support multi-core processors
