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

Intelligent Control: ASUS-exclusive tools including AI Cooling II, Two-Way AI Noise-Cancelation and AI Networking for easy configuration Configure the fan's operating speed manually or use pre-configured Standard, Silent, Turbo, or Full Speed modes. By default, system fans will automatically switch to full speed if the temperature reaches 75° C. Aura On/Off mode (Stealth)

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.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

The rest of the bottom PCIe area look great, with some silver accents on the slots and Strix branding prominently displayed. Of course, continuing the business end of the design, the VRM area looks great too, with imposing elements protruding out. The Q-Code display for diagnostic reading is also a nice touch. Overall, nice design aesthetics make it look good when peeking out of your tempered-glass PC build! Asus ROG Strix X670-E Gaming WiFi: Performance, software, and BIOS DDR5 is here too, allowing very fast and stable speeds across the board. As more kits are released, the gap between DDR4 and DDR5 will slowly start to increase as time goes on—and the Strix is fully equipped to handle it. 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.
