- Does this board support Ryzen 9000 series CPUs?
- Yes. It uses Socket AM5 and the X870E chipset, which supports Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors. A BIOS update may be needed for the newest chips on early stock.
- How many M.2 drives can I install?
- It has multiple M.2 slots accepting 2280, 22110, 2580 and 25110 lengths, with at least one running PCIe 5.0. Check the manual for which slots share lanes with the graphics card.
- Is Wi-Fi 7 included?
- Yes. Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4 are built in, so no add-in card is needed. You still need a Wi-Fi 7 router to see the full speed benefit.
- Does it have USB4?
- No. This model offers USB-C ports at USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 2x2 speeds rather than USB4. Buyers who need USB4 should look at higher X870E boards.
- What memory should I pair with it?
- Use DDR5 DIMMs; the board is rated to 8000 MHz and supports up to 256 GB. Two-stick kits are the safer choice for hitting high EXPO speeds.
- Is it worth it over a cheaper B650 board?
- It adds PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7 and more M.2 flexibility than most B650 boards. If you don't need those, a B650 board covers most builds for less.
