You get a second PCIe 5.0 x16 slot running at full x8\/x8 rather than a token x4, four M.2 sockets that can be populated without stripping the expansion slots bare, and dual USB4 alongside a dense rear panel. For a workstation-class AM5 build with a 9950X, a capture card, a fast NIC and four NVMe drives, this is the board that lets you install all of it and still boot with everything running at full width. The ROG Strix VRM here is genuinely overbuilt, so sustained all-core loads do not push the board anywhere near its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou are probably buying more than you need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSay it plainly: for a single GPU and two SSDs, X870E buys you nothing over B850 except a bigger bill. The performance in games is identical because the chipset does not touch frame rates. The second x16 slot only matters if you genuinely have a second full-bandwidth card, and multi-GPU gaming is dead. You will also want good case airflow for the chipset heatsinks, and the board's height and connector density can be awkward in a compact chassis. If your build is a gaming PC and nothing more, take the B850-F and put the difference into the graphics card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverbuilt ROG power delivery with a large heatsink array and heat-pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots supporting x8\/x8 operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour M.2 sockets including PCIe 5.0, with tool-free heatsinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual USB4 Type-C ports for 40 Gb\/s devices and displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 7, BIOS FlashBack, Clear CMOS and Q-LED diagnostics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipset: AMD X870E\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: 2 x PCIe 5.0 x16 (x16 or x8\/x8), plus additional PCIe slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: 4 x M.2 sockets (including PCIe 5.0) plus 4 x SATA 6 Gb\/s ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetworking: High-speed wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio: ROG SupremeFX 7.1 surround HD audio with ESS DAC and premium capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear I\/O Highlights: 2 x USB4 Type-C, HDMI output, Wi-Fi antenna connectors, LAN, BIOS FlashBack and Clear CMOS buttons, gold-plated audio jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB4 Type-C plus a dense array of 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 X870E-E 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 graphics card holder, 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\u003eThe X870E-E is where ASUS puts everything it knows about AM5 into one board, from memory training to VRM design to BIOS maturity.
