You get PCIe 5.0 M.2 bandwidth, a VRM comfortably rated for a Ryzen 7 9800X3D or Ryzen 9 9950X, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5GbE, tool-free storage mounting and a mature ROG BIOS with EXPO memory tuning. The white finish also solves a real problem for South African builders assembling white-themed cases, where matching components are usually scarce and expensive. Paired with a 9800X3D it will not bottleneck any GPU you can buy locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the savings show\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB850 provides fewer chipset PCIe lanes and USB ports than X870E, and the primary graphics slot runs at PCIe 4.0 rather than 5.0 — a difference that is currently invisible in games but worth knowing if you plan to keep the board for many GPU generations. There is no USB4, no diagnostic display and no 10GbE. Heavy multi-card workstation configurations will run out of lanes. If you need Thunderbolt-class ports, 10-gig networking or extreme memory overclocking headroom, look at the ROG Crosshair X870E range instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong VRM with heatsinks rated for high-end Ryzen 9 processors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 M.2 storage with pre-fitted heatsinks and Q-Latch mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth plus 2.5 Gigabit wired Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe Q-Release Slim mechanism for one-touch graphics card removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROG SupremeFX audio, Aura Sync RGB headers and BIOS FlashBack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS ROG Strix B850-A Gaming WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD B850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AMD AM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: ATX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 4 x DDR5 DIMM slots, dual channel, up to 192GB, AMD EXPO profiles supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: PCIe 4.0 x16 primary graphics slot plus additional PCIe x16 and x1 expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Multiple M.2 NVMe sockets including PCIe 5.0, plus four SATA 6Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: ROG SupremeFX high-definition audio with headphone amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, BIOS FlashBack and Clear CMOS buttons, Wi-Fi antenna mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 rear ports plus front-panel Type-C header\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASUS ROG Strix B850-A Gaming WiFi motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x SATA 6Gb\/s cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi moving antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 Q-Latch package and mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROG stickers, cable ties, user manual and driver documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASUS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASUS puts its mainstream ROG Strix boards through the same validation programme as its flagships, so the BIOS and memory support are equally current.
