AI OVERCLOCKING

ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.​

AI COOLING II

Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.

Traffic Monitor

Armoury Crate's Traffic Monitor tracks your current WiFi channel usage. Move to a less congested channel by clicking the “Channel Switch” button* for improved network performance.

*The "Channel Switch" function requires pairing with an ASUS router. If not paired with an ASUS router, the channel change process can be performed in the "Router IP" section of the Traffic Monitor.

Fast Check

Armoury Crate’s Fast Check empowers users to rapidly detect WiFi signal strength​.

PCIE SLOT Q-RELEASE SLIM

With PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. This makes upgrades and maintenance easier than ever before. Users will no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.

M.2 Q-Release

The M.2 heatsink features a convenient switch* to quickly remove it, eliminating the need for tiny screws during SSD installation. Its strong locking mechanism also provides a snug contact surface, helping to ensure reliable heat dissipation for your SSD.*Switch may be a lever or button, depending on motherboard model.

New M.2 Q-LATCH

The new Q-Latch design allows for tool-free installation or removal of M.2 SSDs with just one press.

M.2 Q-Slide

This new sliding M.2 latch design supports sizes 2242, 2260 and 2280 for easy device installation.

PCIE 5.0

Fully embracing the new standard, the Strix X870E-E offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support. The topmost x16 expansion slot is Gen 5-ready, and is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. Three of the onboard M.2 slots are geared for blistering 16 GB/s read and write speeds thanks to its PCIe 5.0 interface, while all the rest can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. Every M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.​

Power Design

1. POWER ARCHITECTURE: The VRM features 18+2+2 power stages, each rated to handle up to 110 amps.
2. ALLOY CHOKES AND DURABLE CAPACITORS​: Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
3. ​DUAL PROCOOL II POWER CONNECTORS​: ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation and lowers electrical impedance.
4. EIGHT-LAYER PCB​: A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.​

MEMORY

NitroPath DRAM Technology

NitroPath DRAM Technology reduces noise interference via shorter gold finger pins and optimized signal pathways within the motherboard.​ Smoother signal transmission with less noise and reflection translates to an overall improved experience with high-end memory kits. The optimized layout ensures faster data transfers between your DRAM and CPU, maximizing your system’s overall performance.

COOLING

1. VRM HEATSINK ARRAY: Two thick VRM heatsinks are connected by a heatpipe, sharing cooling capacity across VRMs and providing ample surface area and mass to handle the power needs of high-performance AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors.
2. M.2 COMBO-SINK: This M.2 heatsink integrates a direct-contact U-shaped heat pipe to achieve optimal operating temperatures, and it has been upgraded with a larger surface area for even more cooling.
3. M.2 BACKPLATE: An integrated backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.
4. M.2 HEATSINKS: Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
