With two USB4 ports on the rear panel, you can connect 40 Gb/s compatible devices or a USB-C compatible 8K display. They are complemented by a USB-C and five USB-A ports that can transfer up to 10 Gb/s with compatible devices. Four 5 Gb/s USB-A ports are also available. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet port provides you with fast connections to compatible network devices. Windows 11 is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.

ASUS AI Intelligence

AI Overclocking

Maximize CPU performance with predictions for ideal CPU and cooling settings, pushing your system to its limits.

AI Cooling II

Maintain optimal thermals and reduced noise with dynamic fan speed adjustments based on CPU temperatures.

AI Networking II

Optimize network performance and help ensure seamless connectivity and maximized Wi-Fi 7 speeds.

Performance Overclocking

Dynamic OC Switcher

The Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced current protection mechanism to help prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.​

Core Flex

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control power and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

Asynchronous Clock

The ROG Strix X870-A features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed to drive peak CPU performance while maintaining the stability of related clock domains.

Precision Boost Overdrive Enhancement

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.

Performance

Overclocking Memory

This motherboard is ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support.

AEMP

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules.

Power Design

Sporting 16+2+2 power stages with two 8-pin ProCool II power connectors, the ROG STRIX X870-A GAMING WIFI delivers reliable and stable performance with high-core count CPUs, graphics cards, and other power-intensive components. The Digi+ VRM provides real-time voltage control while the durable chokes, capacitors, and eight-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around voltage regulators and offers greater overclocking headroom.

Advanced Cooling

Designed for overclocking, this motherboard maintains optimal performance and stability with fan and AIO pump headers, an M.2 backplate, and heat sinks for the M.2 slots and VRM.

Connectivity

Wi-Fi 7

Wi-Fi 7 supports 320 MHz bandwidth on the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) ensures stable connections and low latency, supporting 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands for enhanced coverage and throughput.

2.5G Ethernet

An onboard 2.5G Ethernet port provides fast and stable connectivity to compatible wired devices.

Dual USB4 Connectivity

Transfer massive project files with 40 Gb/s compatible storage drives. The USB4 ports also allow you to connect either one 8K monitor or two 4K displays for enhanced multitasking.

Front 10G USB-C

This motherboard features a USB-C front panel connector for speedy data transfers with up to 10 Gb/s devices. Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology provides up to 30W charging with compatible tablets and mobile devices.

DIY Friendly

Easy M.2 Installation

ASUS M.2 Q-Release, Q-Slide and Q-Latch technologies allows you to quickly install or remove M.2 SSDs without the need for tools or screws.

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. Users no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.

Q-Antenna

With Q-Antenna, attaching a Wi-Fi antenna to your PC is a snap. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place.

Q-LED

The on-board Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components are functioning normally during startup. It can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed.

Clear CMOS and BIOS FlashBack

Clear the CMOS at the touch of a button to help remove data corruption from the chip. BIOS FlashBack makes BIOS updates easy. Just load the BIOS file onto a FAT32 USB stick, insert it into the BIOS FlashBack port, and press a button. No CPU or memory needed.

Software Utilities

ASUS GlideX

Using this app enables smooth screen sharing and control across PCs, tablets, and smartphones via wired or wireless connections, across multiple platforms.
