ASUS Launches Cutting-Edge Motherboards: Meet the AMD X870E, B850, and B840 ROG Series!

In several aspects, the ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi is akin to the younger sibling of the ROG Strix B850-E Gaming WiFi. The B850-F exhibits a similar classic gaming motherboard appearance characterized by charcoal shades, angular shapes and RGB LED highlights. It powers the CPU with a sturdy power design, and it is compatible with PCIe 5.0 SSDs and graphics cards.  

If the advanced features of the ROG Strix B850-E Gaming WiFi are considered luxuries rather than essentials in a particular setup, the ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi could be the preferable choice. It omits the USB4 port, fifth M.2 slot, and rapid-charging features of the rear-panel USB 20Gbps port. However, it is still well-equipped and prepared to connect a substantial storage array, cutting-edge components and a complete battlestation’s collection of peripherals. 

The “-A” variant in any Strix series is an enduring favorite, due to its distinct aesthetic design. While the earlier mentioned Strix devices lean towards the traditional gamer visual that ROG assisted in establishing, the ROG Strix B850-A Gaming WiFi distinguishes itself from others with an entirely different color scheme. White and silver finishes, contrasting gently with the stone-gray PCB, provide this motherboard with a modern, pristine appearance. Combine it with a white-themed casing and components to create a PC that stands out in style. 

The ROG Strix B850-I Gaming WiFi is a Mini-ITX wonder designed to enable users to harness the superior performance of an AMD Ryzen CPU in a compact PC. It is small enough to be held in one hand, yet packed with cutting-edge features. The board includes two DIMM slots allowing for the installation of up to 96GB of high-speed DDR5 RAM. Its PCIe 5.0 x16 slot accommodates one of the most powerful graphics cards available today and into the future. The board’s compact size may not provide much space, but we’ve made allowances for two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots. To facilitate all the necessary connections for this petite board, it boasts an extra-thick 10-layer PCB. Active cooling for the VRMs guarantees stable performance, even within the confined space of an SFF chassis.

TUF Gaming guarantees that gamers globally can access dependable motherboards featuring a straightforward aesthetic and essential gaming functionalities. These models are enhanced with black metallic capacitors which deliver 52% increased temperature tolerance and up to 2.5 times the longevity compared to standard motherboard capacitors. Additionally, they include a corrosion-resistant stainless–steel rear I/O panel with a lifespan up to three times longer than a standard panel, and they pass a thorough 72-hour salt fog assessment, exceeding the industry benchmark. Finally, TUF LANGuard represents a military-grade advancement that incorporates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to enhance throughput, helping to safeguard the motherboard from lightning strikes and static discharge.

The subsequent three TUF Gaming B850 motherboards also assist ASUS AI Advisor, the ever-present helper for resolving inquiries regarding motherboard software, firmware and hardware.  

Starting with the TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi, a full-sized ATX selection that redefines expectations for a common motherboard. It is loaded with the attributes that gamers are including on their essential checklist for 2025. This variant is compatible with PCIe 5.0 graphics cards and a PCIe 5.0 SSD, while built-in WiFi 7 offers advanced wireless connectivity. Ten USB ports on the rear panel, one of which is USB 20Gbps Type-C, guarantee effortless connections to all of a user’s equipment.  

This motherboard showcases numerous build-friendly features that previously were exclusive to the most high-end ASUS models. The PCIe Slot Q-Release lever, as an example, simplifies the removal of a graphics card—even one featuring a large heatsink and substantial backplate. Similarly, the tool-free M.2 Q-Latch mechanism allows users to install drives without the danger of losing tiny screws into the depths of a case. Another convenience feature is BIOS FlashBack, which permits users to update the motherboard’s firmware even in the absence of a CPU installed.  

The included WiFi Q-Antenna simplifies obtaining a reliable connection to a network. Its straightforward one-step design ensures that users need not have to do anything more than plug it in to enjoy an excellent experience — and even the act of connecting it is simpler than with previous designs.  

For users who are weighing the possibility of a microATX motherboard for a compact chassis, the “`html
TUF Gaming B850M-Plus WiFi and TUF Gaming B850M-Plus deliver next-gen capability in the microATX size. Their 14+2+1 power phases cooled by enhanced VRM heatsinks facilitate uninterrupted CPU performance. A broad array of USB ports, including a high-speed USB 20Gbps Type-C port, maintain users connected.  

For those assembling an energy-efficient, robust setup around a mainstream CPU—perhaps utilizing a Ryzen G-Series chip with enhanced integrated graphics—ASUS Prime B840 motherboards are designed to assist. While there is no support for PCIe 5.0 included, users can still leverage most of the latest graphics cards, and three onboard M.2 slots simplify the process of establishing a storage system efficiently. The Prime B840-Plus WiFi offers also sturdy performance in the connectivity arena: its 2.5G Ethernet port and integrated WiFi 6E are primed for action. 

For constructors who favor a MicroATX choice to fit within a compact chassis such as the ASUS Prime AP201 Tempered Glass, the Prime B840M-A WiFi and Prime B840M-A

These proficient motherboards reduce the expansion slot functionalities of the larger Prime B840-Plus WiFi, however, they provide an otherwise quite comparable feature array. Users of this motherboard might depend on integrated graphics, thus these motherboards come with an additional DisplayPort output to allow them to benefit from a multi-monitor configuration.
