Features

ROG STRIX B850-I gaming wifi

The ROG Strix B850-I Gaming WiFi integrates cutting-edge technology into a sleek mini-ITX form factor. It features PCIe® 5.0 slots for graphics and storage, dual-channel DDR5 slots and robust power delivery for top-tier gaming and heavy workloads. Meanwhile, advanced cooling solutions maintain peak performance, and WiFi 7 ensures ultra-fast connectivity. This platform delivers the power and connectivity that advanced AI PC applications demand.

ASUS AI ADVISOR

ASUS AI Advisor is an ASUS technical expert that's always available to answer your questions. Owners of compatible ASUS motherboards can interact with this AI-powered technology using natural language to learn more about their hardware. For DIY beginners, it can provide easy-to-understand explanations of one-click optimization features like fan speed tuning, and for seasoned PC-building veterans, it can offer guidance and instructions on the latest features offered by ASUS.

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.

Dynamic OC Switcher

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 latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to 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 clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximize base clock during lighter loads and 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.

PBO 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.

DDR5 Strength

For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the Strix B850-I is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits, courtesy of vast AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.

AEMP

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

M.2 AND CHIPSET HEATSINKS

A large heatsink covers the NVME SSD slot to help keep your drive optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.

VRM HEATSINK

The VRM heatsink extends over the rear I/O to maximize surface area and include a VRM fan for active cooling to deftly handle the power thermals of the latest AMD processors, while leaving clearance for large CPU coolers.

HIGH-CONDUCTIVITY THERMAL PADS

High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.

CPU FAN HEADERS

A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers provides easy access to CPU coolers.

AIO PUMP FAN HEADER

A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.

4-PIN FAN HEADER & EXTRA FLOW FAN HEADER

The Strix B850-I features a chassis fan header with auto-detection for both PWM and DC fans. Additionally, its extra flow fan header offers users an additional cooling option, allowing for enhanced thermal performance for DRAM or other components.

PCIE 5.0

Fully embracing the new standard, the Strix B850-I 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. Two onboard M.2 slots is geared for blistering 16 Gb/s read and write speeds thanks to its PCIe 5.0 interface. One M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsink to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.

USB 20Gbps PORT

A USB 20Gbps Type-C® port offers speedy data transfers up to USB 20Gbps.

UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX

The I/O shield and M.2 heatsink feature a perforated metal mesh that can either reflect the glow of internal RGB components or blend seamlessly into the shadows of a stealthy build. The cyber-style text and sharp, angular details firmly establish this motherboard as a member of the ROG Strix family.

BUILD FOR THE MOST ADVANCED PC FOR GAMING AND CREATING

When only the fastest will do, a Strix B850 motherboard delivers. With USB 20Gbps Type-C® onboard along with robust overclocking� capabilities, featuring faster dual-channel DDR5 memory support, AMD EXPO™ technology and PCIe® 5.0 support for both graphics and NVMe, you can play the most demanding games and deliver your biggest projects with the revolutionary performance of an AMD 800-series motherboard and AMD Ryzen™ 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors.
