ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi AMD AM5 X870 ATX Motherboard 16+2+2 Power Stages, Dynamic OC Switcher, Core Flex, DDR5 AEMP, WiFi 7, 4X M.2, PCIe® 5.0, Q-Release Slim, USB4®, AI OCing & Networking

Build quality is exceptional the asus way is the only way, Works with Gskill trident royal 8000mt out of the box just enable expo. paired with a 9800x3d and a 4080 games are beyond fluent. No load times , no hard frame dips it just eats. I will recommend if running a newer card go at least 1000-1250w psu as things get hungry. The board has hundreds of customizable options to oc and even comes with AI tuner to automatically tune clocks and their respective , curves , it will even tune aio pumps. Update your bios to thenlatest version on first boot , install or boot windows. I recommend a clean install and then download the drivers via windows update or the motherboard site and load up it's a beast.

what i like:white pcb board, its sickmultiple fan headers,4 m’2 slots, 2 connected to the cpu and 2 connected to the pcie slots; plenty of room to upgrade your storagemultiple argb headers if you’re like me and gotta have purple rgb with the white boardsuper fast post and boot time, has lights showing it posting from cpu to vga to bootplenty of room for lots of ram if you’re a gamer you wont meet the limit for a whilethis board is future proof for the next 3-4 years as of 2025usb c, bios flashback, and usb 3 to 4 i believe. lots of Usb portswhat i dont like (most are nitpicky):when assembling the solder on the bottom cut my finger, it can be sharp so be careful when holding the boardheaders for specific things are harder to stretch cords to making it look ugly, cable management is necessary but i cba to sort that outtwo of my ram slots arent working, unsure if its the cpu or the board itself which i have 32 gb installed so im not super worried about as of right nowthe cpu install felt very tight when putting the clip downall in all it is a beautiful board, great value for money, it is pricey if budget is a concern i would worry about your cpu, graphics and ram before finalizing your purchase. an upgrade from a 2019 board for example would leave you having to buy a new cpu ram and graphics card as well to keep up. ive used it for about a month and i havent had much trouble out of it.

I purchased the ROG x870-a motherboard in January 2025 for $270 for my white gaming PC build and I have been thoroughly happy with the performance and features of this motherboard. I am currently pairing this motherboard with a Ryzen 7 9800x3d cpu, 64gb of DDR5 ram and a Gigabyte Aorus Master 5080 GPU. The board is well constructed with solid thermal heatsinks and plenty of PCI-e slots for SSDs, the RGB lighting is subtle and pairs well with the rest of my machine. The bios is easy to use and the AI overclocker feature makes it easy for beginners to unlock additional CPU performance, adding additional speed to my 9800x3d boost clocks and running my memory at EXPO settings of 6000 mt/s with no issues. At $270 it's a great price for a quality x870 chipset board.

I have had 4 ASUS motherboards ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155, Prim h270-pro, z370 Maximus hero X and now the X670E-A and I can confidently say this is my last ASUS motherboard… I have had nothing but problems with this board from the second I open the box. Getting Windows 11 installed was a nightmare, the bios’s default settings were set to Legacy and every time you tried to change them back to UEFI the bios would freeze. So basically I couldn’t enable TMP and had to wait for them to release a bios update to get it fixed. When I called the ASUS support the representative told me that I needed to call Microsoft… Once I did install windows 11, I had horrible memory stability issues as you could not enable EXPO on supported memory. In addition to the memory, stability issues the thing would take forever to boot as it had to do a full memory retrain every start up. If you were able to contacts, memory restore you will get the blue screen of death. On a side note, if you enable context memory restore the bios also enables The setting next to it, which I can’t remember exactly what it was called, but it had something to do with shut down. if you then reenable that setting, that it changed without your say so the bios would freeze. And then, if you tried to boot your system with context memory restore enabled, Blue screen of death. ASUS has told Youtubers that Ryzen only supports 5200 MHz memory and and that’s the reason why people are having memory problems. Yet they advertise on this and many other boards that it supports 6400mhz… The last issue I have is with the USB connectivity. My wireless headphones, Mouse and keyboard cut in and out when I use them. I think it’s a combination of factors due to where they’ve placed the Wi-Fi antennas on the rear I/O, where they place the display port that I used for my second monitor both causing electromagnetic interference. And finally a lack of power to the individual USB ports, as if I have more than three things plugged into the board at one time I get issues. If I have things plugged into the USB ports that are too close to the Wi-Fi or display port, I get issues… I’m not the only one who’s had these issues and even Youtubers are getting fed up and are abandoning ASUS’s ship. I was doing a white build, and it was between this, and the Asrock steel legend, which is a significantly cheaper board. Everybody I talk to over on Reddit, who went with the steel legend, says it’s rocksolid. If you watch buildzoids youtube videos where he goes over manufactures motherboards time after time boadroard after board ASUS cuts corners with component wherever they can. And on top of that there are been a massive amount of reports lately that when people need to RMA their mother boards they get the runaround, they get lied to, they basically get shafted. I mean, it’s become an Apple situation where you pay more and get less. So, I for one will not be buying another ASUS board.This is a $400 board… I am honestly considering suing ASUS in small claims court.

Nice 870 board. Beautiful aesthetics. Functions fine. Could better with software. The Armoury Crate is the necessary evil. When it works it's great. You might be able to get 4x24 6000mts with this board if using a 4x24 kit. Better choice is a 870E board. 6000mts with 2 sticks works out if the box with this board.

This motherboard is super sick. I love the extra usb ports and usb c ports on it that are labeled with the speeds. Gotta love the design on it as well. Upgraded to this motherboard when I switched to AM5 and DDR5. Definitely worth choosing this motherboard especially with the WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities.
