ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Wifi II DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming WiFi II is a full-size ATX motherboard (30.5 cm x 24.4 cm) built on the AMD X570 chipset and designed for the AM4 socket. It supports AMD Ryzen 5000 Series, 5000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 3000 Series, 3000 G-Series, 2000 Series, and 2000 G-Series desktop processors, covering a wide span of the modern AMD AM4 platform. Power delivery is handled by a 12+4 power stage configuration paired with the ProCool II power connector, alloy chokes, and durable capacitors, providing a robust foundation for multi-core processors and enthusiast overclocking. Thermal management includes a passive chipset heatsink, a VRM heatsink connected by an 8 mm L-shaped heatpipe, dual M.2 heatsinks for installed NVMe drives, and a dedicated water pump header to support custom liquid cooling loops. Memory support spans four DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 128 GB of DDR4 unbuffered RAM. Depending on the processor installed, speeds range from DDR4-2133 at native specification up to DDR4-5100 via overclocking with compatible G-Series processors. The board also supports ECC memory in ECC mode, subject to CPU compatibility. Storage is well provisioned with two M.2 Key-M slots — the first supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA modes (PCIe 3.0 x4 with G-Series and older CPUs), and the second via the X570 chipset supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA modes. Eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports complement the M.2 slots, with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support across SATA storage. Networking combines a Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet controller and an Intel I211-AT 1 Gb Ethernet controller, both protected by ASUS LANGuard anti-surge circuitry, and managed via the GameFirst V software. Wireless connectivity uses a 2x2 Wi-Fi 6E (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax) module supporting 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands alongside Bluetooth 5.2. Note: the 6 GHz band requires Windows 11 or later and is subject to local regulatory availability. The rear I/O panel provides eight USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (seven Type-A and one Type-C), DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0b outputs (both supporting up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz for APU display output), dual Ethernet ports, five gold-plated audio jacks, one optical S/PDIF output, and a BIOS FlashBack button for CPU-free BIOS updates. Audio is powered by the Realtek S1220A codec delivering 7.1 surround sound with 120 dB SNR on stereo playback output and 113 dB SNR on line input, with SupremeFX shielding, premium capacitors, and support for up to 32-bit/192 kHz playback on stereo channels. Builder-friendly features include M.2 Q-Latch screwless retention, Q-LED diagnostic indicators, SafeSlot reinforced PCIe slots, a pre-mounted I/O shield, and BIOS FlashBack. RGB aesthetics are supported via two AURA RGB headers and two Addressable Gen 2 headers, all managed through Armoury Crate and AURA Sync software.
