Asus PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI

Not quite a format board from Asus, which on the one hand belongs to the Asus Prime line of entry-level and mid-level products, but at the same time is built on the flagship X670E chipset and is at the level of advanced models from the Asus ROG Strix line. The board combines a powerful 16-phase power system, efficient cooling of key components, an intelligent AI Cooling II cooling system, an intelligent Core Flex power system and AI Overclocking technology, which helps find the optimal balance between performance and heat levels.

Among its other features, it is necessary to highlight support for the high-speed PCI-E 5.0 interface and the ability to work with overclocking DDR5 RAM with a serious maximum frequency of up to 8000 MHz. In particular, the manufacturer indicates the possibility of installing up to 192 GB of DDR5 RAM with a maximum clock frequency of 7600 MHz and up to four M.2 SSD drives with support for different versions of the PCI-E interface (1x5.0, 2x4.0, 1x3.0).

The use of the flagship AMD X670E chipset and socket AM5 guarantees compatibility with almost any modern components, including the latest Ryzen 7000 and 8000 series processors. But the company's earlier chips, designed for installation in the AM4 socket, are not compatible with this board. In the best traditions of the Asus TUF and ROG gaming lines, this board is compatible with the proprietary Asus Aura Sync backlight synchronization system and has serious capabilities for installing water cooling.

Other features of the Asus PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI include a modern network controller with a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port, a wireless receiver with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, a high-quality Realtek S1220A audio chip, as well as additional HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 video ports for direct connection monitor to the video card built into the processor. All this allows us to consider it as the ultimate solution for gaming PCs designed for high resolution (2K/4K) with maximum graphics settings. It could also be an interesting alternative to professional Asus ProArt motherboards for people, especially if you don't have a strong need to use the Thunderbolt interface.
