That makes the Prime B850-PLUS WiFi a sound base for a Ryzen 7 9700X or 9800X3D gaming PC you intend to keep for years. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 are built in with ASUS's Q-Antenna, there are three M.2 slots and four DDR5 slots supporting up to 256GB, and the rear panel has four 10Gbps USB ports including a Type-C. Pre-mounted I\/O shield and BIOS FlashBack make the build and first update simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePoints to watch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a Ryzen 8000 series APU the graphics slot and M.2_1 drop to PCIe 4.0, so the Gen5 features need a Ryzen 7000 or 9000 chip. The two lower PCIe 3.0 x1 slots share bandwidth with SATA ports 1 and 2, which are disabled when those slots are used. The third M.2 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x2. The rear USB-C is 10Gbps, not 20Gbps, and audio is a standard Realtek 7.1 codec with three jacks. If you do not need Wi-Fi, a B650 board with Ethernet only costs less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot and PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 6E with ASUS Q-Antenna and Bluetooth 5.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-mounted I\/O shield and BIOS FlashBack button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible M.2 heatsink and VRM heatsink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour chassis fan headers plus AIO pump header, three Addressable Gen 2 headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI (90MB1L80-M0EAY0)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AMD AM5, Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series, up to 170W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD B850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 4 x DDR5 DIMM, up to 256GB, dual channel, up to 8000+ MT\/s (OC), ECC and non-ECC unbuffered, AMD EXPO, ASUS AEMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay Outputs: 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 8K@30Hz), 1 x HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K@60Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 (Ryzen 9000\/7000), 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4 mode), 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x1 mode)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: M.2_1 PCIe 5.0 x4, M.2_2 PCIe 4.0 x4, M.2_3 PCIe 4.0 x2 (up to 22110); 4 x SATA 6Gb\/s; RAID 0\/1\/10 (Ryzen 7000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEthernet: Realtek 2.5Gb with LANGuard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless: Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) 2x2, 2.4\/5\/6GHz, Bluetooth 5.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear USB: 1 x 10Gbps Type-C, 3 x 10Gbps Type-A, 2 x 5Gbps Type-A, 2 x USB 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront USB: 1 x 5Gbps Type-C connector, 1 x 5Gbps header (2 ports), 3 x USB 2.0 headers (6 ports)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: Realtek 7.1 HD audio codec, 3 audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFan Headers: CPU, CPU OPT, AIO pump, 4 x chassis (all 4-pin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRGB Headers: 3 x Addressable Gen 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Internal: Thunderbolt (USB4) header, COM port, S\/PDIF out, SPI TPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Connectors: 24-pin, 8-pin + 4-pin +12V CPU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBIOS: 256Mb flash ROM, AMI UEFI, BIOS FlashBack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: ATX, 30.5 x 24.4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASUS Prime B850-PLUS WiFi motherboard (I\/O shield pre-mounted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASUS Wi-Fi Q-Antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x SATA 6Gb\/s cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 rubber pad package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 x M.2 screw packages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASUS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASUS supports its AM5 boards with regular BIOS updates for new Ryzen generations, and the Prime line brings that support at a sensible price.
