ASUS Prime X870-P Wifi DDR5 AMD Motherboard

The ASUS Prime X870-P WiFi is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the AMD X870 chipset, designed for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series desktop processors using the AM5 socket. It measures 12 x 9.6 inches (30.5 x 24.4 cm) and offers a well-rounded feature set for PC builders seeking a stable, future-ready platform without unnecessary premium overheads. Power delivery is handled by a 14+2+1 phase arrangement using 80A power stages with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers, providing the headroom needed for high-core-count AMD processors. Two 8-pin +12V CPU power connectors and a 24-pin main power connector complete the power circuitry. Memory support extends to four DDR5 DIMM slots accommodating up to 192GB of ECC and non-ECC unbuffered memory in a dual-channel configuration. The board supports speeds of up to 8000+ MT/s (OC) with compatible Ryzen processors, and includes both AMD EXPO and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) for simplified overclocking of DDR5 kits. Storage options are generous: four M.2 Key-M slots are available, with M.2_1 supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 (up to 128 Gbps) on Ryzen 9000/7000 processors, two slots supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 via the X870 chipset, and one slot supporting PCIe 3.0 x2. Two SATA 6 Gb/s ports provide additional legacy storage connectivity. AMD RAIDXpert2 supports PCIe RAID 0/1/5/10 and SATA RAID 0/1, with RAID 5 requiring a Ryzen 9000 series CPU. The primary PCIe slot runs at x16 via PCIe 5.0 with Ryzen 9000/7000 CPUs, while three additional PCIe 4.0 x16 slots (wired at x1) are provided through the chipset. Networking is covered by a Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet controller with ASUS LANGuard protection, alongside 2×2 Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be, 2.4/5/6 GHz) delivering up to 2.9 Gbps and Bluetooth 5.4 via the included Q-Antenna module. The rear I/O panel offers 2x USB4 (40 Gbps, Type-C) ports that also support display output, 1x USB 10 Gbps (Type-A), 3x USB 5 Gbps (Type-A), 4x USB 2.0 (Type-A), one HDMI port, three audio jacks, Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet, and a BIOS FlashBack button for BIOS updates without a CPU installed. Internal headers add one USB 10 Gbps Type-C connector, one USB 5 Gbps header (2 ports), and two USB 2.0 headers (4 ports). Audio is handled by a Realtek High Definition 7.1 Surround Sound CODEC supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz playback, with audio shielding, premium audio capacitors, and dedicated audio PCB layers. Cooling support includes one CPU fan header, one CPU OPT fan header, one AIO pump header, and four chassis fan headers, all manageable through Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II in Armoury Crate. Three Addressable Gen 2 headers enable Aura Sync RGB lighting control.
