ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus Wifi DDR5 AMD Motherboard

The ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built around the AMD X670 chipset and the AM5 socket, offering native compatibility with AMD Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors. Measuring 305 mm × 244 mm, it occupies a standard ATX footprint suitable for most mid-tower and full-tower cases. At the heart of the power delivery system sit 14+2 teamed power stages, each rated at 70 A, paired with dual 8-pin ProCool connectors and an eight-layer PCB that helps dissipate heat from the voltage regulators. The Digi+ VRM provides digital power regulation, while enlarged VRM and PCH heatsinks work alongside M.2 heatsinks — three of the four M.2 slots carry dedicated covers — to keep thermals in check across sustained workloads. Memory support spans four DIMM slots accommodating up to 128 GB of DDR5 at speeds from 4800 MHz up to 6400+ MHz in overclocked profiles, with full support for AMD EXPO memory profiles and dual-channel operation. Storage is equally expansive: four M.2 Key-M slots include one PCIe 5.0 x4 slot (M.2_1) capable of up to 128 Gbps, one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot (M.2_3), one PCIe 3.0 x4/SATA slot (M.2_2, type 22110-compatible), and one further PCIe 4.0 x4 slot (M.2_4), complemented by four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. RAID 0, 1, and 10 are supported across both NVMe and SATA arrays via AMD RAID Xpert technology. Expansion slots include one PCIe 5.0 x16 (from the CPU) and two chipset-fed PCIe 4.0 slots (one x16 physical running at x4, one x4). Networking is handled by a Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet port with TUF LANGuard protection and an onboard Wi-Fi 6E module (2×2, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, 2.4/5/6 GHz) paired with Bluetooth 5.2. The rear I/O panel provides ten USB ports: one USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C (20 Gbps), four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (three Type-A plus one Type-C, each 10 Gbps), and five USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports. Internal headers add a front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connector, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 header, and three USB 2.0 headers. A Thunderbolt 4 header is present for optional expansion card use. Video outputs consist of one DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 8K@60 Hz) and one HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K@60 Hz). Audio is delivered through the Realtek S1220A codec, offering 7.1-channel surround sound, 120 dB SNR stereo playback, 113 dB SNR recording, and up to 32-bit/192 kHz playback on stereo outputs. ASUS Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation further reduces background noise from both microphone and incoming audio streams. Fan management includes one 4-pin CPU fan header, one CPU OPT header, one AIO pump header, four chassis fan headers, and one W_PUMP+ header, all controllable via Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II through Armoury Crate. Lighting is supported through one AURA RGB header and three Addressable Gen 2 headers, with edge lighting built into the board itself. Additional quality-of-life features include M.2 Q-Latch for tool-free SSD installation, BIOS FlashBack for BIOS updates without a CPU installed, Q-DIMM single-sided latches, Q-LED diagnostic indicators, SafeSlot reinforced PCIe x16 slot, and a pre-mounted I/O shield. The board ships with two SATA cables, a Wi-Fi antenna, M.2 accessory hardware, and a user guide.
