Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking analyzes the processor and cooling system to predict optimal settings and push the system to its limits. The predicted values can be applied automatically or used as a starting point for further experimentation.
Two of the built-in M.2 slots, thanks to the PCIe 5.0 interface, can achieve read and write speeds of 16 GB/s, while all others support impressive data transfer speeds of 8 GB/s. Each M.2 slot is covered by robust heatsinks to dissipate heat from next-generation drives.
Fully compliant with the new standard, Strix X870-A offers seamless support for PCIe 5.0. The top x16 expansion slot supports Gen 5 and is reinforced with a SafeSlot retention bracket to handle the weight of the latest graphics cards.
AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimize network performance, ensure reliable and uninterrupted connectivity, and unlock the full speed of WiFi 7.
For those looking to surpass standard DDR5 speeds, Strix X870-A is ready with extensive support for AMD overclocking profiles (EXPO). Experienced users can further enhance performance using a comprehensive set of settings in the UEFI.
Two VRM heatsinks provide ample surface area and mass to increase heat dissipation when working with high-performance AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors.
