ASUS ROG Strix X670E-F Gaming WiFi AMD Ryzen AM5 ATX motherboard, 16 + 2 power stages, DDR5 support, four M.2 slots with heatsinks, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6E, AI Cooling II, and Aura Sync

Product Information

This basically means that whilst having multiple PCIe slots open (as well as m.2 slots) would potentially be useful for various expansion options further down the road, if those (PCIe) slots are covered up by the GPU cooler, it doesn't really matter how many more PCIe slots you have on the motherboard since you won't be able to use it. Onboard WiFi 6E technology takes advantage of newly available spectrum in the 6 GHz band to provide up to seven 160 MHz channels for ultrafast throughput and better performance in dense wireless environments Configure the fan's operating speed manually or use pre-configured Standard, Silent, Turbo, or Full Speed modes. By default, system fans will automatically switch to full speed if the temperature reaches 75° C. Aura On/Off mode (Stealth)

Anything less will be a cakewalk, too! This motherboard is likely best paired with the Ryzen 7600X, 7700X, or the 7900X. These are more “gamer”-focused CPUs; most won’t really make use of the monster cores on the 7950X (which might be more at home with content creators on something like the X670E ROG Hero or Extreme.)

Of course, continuing the business end of the design, the VRM area looks great too, with imposing elements protruding out. The Q-Code display for diagnostic reading is also a nice touch. Overall, nice design aesthetics make it look good when peeking out of your tempered-glass PC build!
