Does it work with Ryzen 7000 and 9000 CPUs?

Yes. The AM5 socket supports Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors. A BIOS update may be needed for the newest chips on early stock.

How is it different from an X870E board?

X870E boards add more chipset lanes, more USB and extra PCIe slots. The Riptide covers PCIe 5.0 graphics and storage plus Wi-Fi, which is enough for most builds.

Does it need a BIOS update out of the box?

It depends on the board revision and the CPU. Boards shipped after the Ryzen 9000 launch usually support those chips directly; older stock may need a flash first.

What memory does it take?

It uses DDR5 DIMMs only, not DDR4. Check the memory QVL for validated kits at high speeds.

Is it big enough for a large graphics card?

It is a full ATX board with a reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. Very thick cards can cover the lower slots, so check clearance in your case.

Our take on the ASRock X870 RIPTIDE WIFI AM5 AMD X870 ATX Motherboard

The ASRock X870 Riptide WiFi is a full-size ATX motherboard for AMD's AM5 socket, built on the X870 chipset for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors. It targets builders who want PCIe 5.0 for a graphics card and an M.2 drive, onboard Wi-Fi, and strong power delivery without stepping up to flagship pricing. Against premium X870E boards it gives up some USB and lane count, but it covers the essentials most gaming and workstation builds need.
