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

The ASUS TUF X870-PLUS WiFi motherboard has been an excellent foundation for my build. It is currently powering a Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with 64GB of Corsair Dominator DDR5 6000MHz CL30 memory, an RTX 5070 Ti, and a PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD, and it has handled everything flawlessly. Right out of the box, it feels extremely high quality, with solid components and a very robust power delivery design that inspires confidence, especially for higher-end Ryzen CPUs. Some of my favorite features are the EZ Debug LEDs, which make troubleshooting incredibly easy, and the tool-less M.2 latch, which makes installing NVMe drives quick and hassle-free. The BIOS is also a standout—it’s clean, easy to navigate, and packed with a plethora of tweaks and settings for anyone who wants to fine-tune their system, whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced user. Enabling EXPO for my RAM was quick and painless, and everything worked perfectly on the first try. ASUS also includes great extras like AI overclocking, which is fun to experiment with and easy to use for light tuning. I have my PCIe Gen 5 NVMe installed in the M.2_1 slot, which allows the graphics card to continue running at full x16 bandwidth. It’s worth noting that if you want your GPU to run at full x16, you should avoid using the M.2_2 slot, as it shares PCIe lanes with the primary PCIe slot. Overall, this board offers an excellent balance of performance, features, and build quality. It has everything you would need for a high-end gaming PC while also being perfectly suited for everyday use. For the price, it delivers fantastic value and fully lives up to the TUF Gaming reputation for reliability and durability.

Was able to get linux working on this pretty well, had to change the settings for secure boot away from Windows. The its a pretty bare bones, no thrills kinda motherboard but what you do get is pretty nice, lots of PCIe5 lanes, nice build quality, and pretty good heatsinks. The bios update/rollback feature worked well for me, I was able to update the bios with a jump drive without even booting it up, so that was nice. The amount of USB connections was adequate and M.2 was great, but I would've still preferred more sata connections, it only sports two. I have an optical drive, front panel, and a big magnetic drive I wish I could rope into the system, but regardless, this is definitely a forward leaning motherboard.

Used this to build AMD Ryzen 9. Nov 2025: Amazing this thing has full support of all components using latest Ubuntu (24.04). I bought an ASUS board some years ago and it didn't work well with Linux, no bluetooth and other various quirks. Also I read that this board would have Wifi and bluetooth not supported without additional hardware/drivers. Really I haven't tested the audio yet but it should be just fine. Wifi and Bluetooth fully functional right out-of-the-box without any additional drivers. What a nice surprise. The board looks great, runs great and was fun to build. Wifi speeds are now through the roof. I did have an issue with the Asus junk antenna that came with one of their older gaming boards that I bought. Because of that, I was reluctant to choose Asus this time but after reading reviews on many other boards, it seemed the only choice. The upgraded Wifi7 antenna that came with this board is impressive and not feeling like junk at all.

Install was straightforward. Build quality good. TUF style looks great. Unlike the x670e I replaced, this one has issues with AI overclock and fan control. Has taken multiple bios updates and tweaking to be able to use expo memory timing along with AI CPU overclock. Fan setting stick at 60% after long gaming and AI fan control has to be manually toggled off/on to reset. Nice new tech, but still a bit unstable. Standard connections for RGB, sata , and USB with high speeds.

what i like: white pcb board, its sick multiple fan headers, 4 m’2 slots, 2 connected to the cpu and 2 connected to the pcie slots; plenty of room to upgrade your storage multiple argb headers if you’re like me and gotta have purple rgb with the white board super fast post and boot time, has lights showing it posting from cpu to vga to boot plenty of room for lots of ram if you’re a gamer you wont meet the limit for a while this board is future proof for the next 3-4 years as of 2025 usb c, bios flashback, and usb 3 to 4 i believe. lots of Usb ports what 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 board headers for specific things are harder to stretch cords to making it look ugly, cable management is necessary but i cba to sort that out two 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 now the cpu install felt very tight when putting the clip down all 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.

The mobo looks great, it is good quality. And zero compatibility issues with it. Paired with my r7 9800x3d. It worked just fine right out of the box. Yeah I need a bios update but it was just so easy and convenient. Advantage is you don't even need m.2 ssd coolers. Can have 4 m.2 ssd. And so many usb ports. I don't even see a reason to cheap out on that mobo. It was 30% off when I bought it, if it is still 30% off. Do the jump. (Had a DOA from MC and live too far from it to justify going back for an exchange and the RMA process is painful. So I am glad I pulled the trigger on this one. ) Get a better cpu bracket to prevent bent pins on any am5 mobo.

Prodotto con garanzia scaduta, acquistato a fine novembre 2025 e ad oggi fine gennaio 2026 la garanzia Asus è scaduta.

Gostei da placa, tem Wi-Fi Bluetooth integrada, procurava uma placa de entrada com o chipset x870 na cor branca ... caiu como uma luva

وصلتني سليمه لكن كرتون المذر كان فيه ضربه من قوتها انشق الكرتون بس ماوصلت للمذر ف بنقص نجمه لكن بالمجمل ممتازه (التوصيل بالنسبه لي اخذ ١٤ يوم)

Strix build remains excellent. the mobo itself lacks a HD audio connect which you actually replicate using the audio hub attachment. My unit didnt havent network drivers installed which would be a problem for a rookie builder (Asus you can fix this easy). Performance of mobo is very good overall

great board for the price ! no useless RGB lights and runs my 9900K. hope there was 2 more SATA ports but that's OK.
