Every X870 board carries it, which means 40 Gb\/s external storage, a single-cable dock, or an external GPU enclosure all work without an add-in card. Add a heavier VRM than the B-series boards run, more chipset lanes for expansion, and PCIe 5.0 on both the graphics slot and the primary M.2, and you have a board that will happily carry a 9950X through video work and a 9800X3D through gaming. For buyers who keep a machine five or six years and add hardware as budget allows, the extra lanes are what you are paying for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBe honest about whether you need it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you run one GPU, one or two NVMe drives and no external Thunderbolt gear, B850 does the same job for meaningfully less money and you will not feel the difference. X870-F is also not the top of the ASUS AM5 range: X870E-E gives you a second full-bandwidth PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and more downstream lanes again, and there is no 10 Gb Ethernet here, only 2.5 Gb. Populating every M.2 socket will still share bandwidth with some SATA ports and expansion slots, as it does on every AM5 board. Read the manual's lane-sharing table before you plan four drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-current ROG power stages with a large finned VRM heatsink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual USB4 Type-C ports for 40 Gb\/s external devices and displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot with quick-release latch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 M.2 socket with tool-free heatsink plus additional M.2 sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 7, 2.5 Gb Ethernet and BIOS FlashBack for CPU-less BIOS updates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS ROG Strix X870-F Gaming WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD X870\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AMD Socket AM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: ATX (305 x 244 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: 4 x DDR5 DIMM slots, up to 256 GB, AMD EXPO support with high-speed overclocked profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Slots: 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 (primary graphics), additional PCIe x16 and x1 slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Multiple M.2 sockets (primary supports PCIe 5.0) plus 4 x SATA 6 Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: ROG SupremeFX 7.1 surround HD audio with premium capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: 2 x USB4 Type-C with DisplayPort passthrough, HDMI output, Wi-Fi antenna connectors, 2.5 Gb LAN, BIOS FlashBack and Clear CMOS buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB4 Type-C plus multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2, Gen 1 and USB 2.0 ports front and rear\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\u003eROG Strix X870-F Gaming WiFi motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSATA 6 Gb\/s cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi moving antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM.2 mounting screws, standoffs and thermal pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROG cable ties, keychain and sticker sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser guide and driver documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ASUS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROG Strix is the line ASUS uses to prove what a mainstream enthusiast board should be, and the X870-F carries the platform features most buyers will still be using in five years.
