Brand: ASUS ROG

ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E APEX Motherboard is a high-end AM5 platform engineered for extreme overclocking and cutting-edge connectivity, built around the AMD X870E chipset.

This ATX motherboard supports AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 Series processors in Socket AM5, offering enthusiasts a foundation tailored for peak performance and long-term upgradeability.

Memory support centers on DDR5-SDRAM across two DIMM slots in dual-channel configuration, accepting up to 128 GB of ECC and non-ECC unbuffered memory for fast, reliable operation during heavy workloads and overclocking sessions.

Storage flexibility is outstanding with five M.2 slots (three up to PCIe 5.0, two up to PCIe 4.0 with 22110 length support) plus four SATA III connectors, enabling up to nine drives and hardware RAID (0, 1, 5, 10) for high-speed NVMe arrays or large-capacity HDD/SSD combinations.

Connectivity is future-proof with Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4, dual USB4 Gen 3x2 ports, multiple USB 3.2 Type-A and a Type-C port, plus a 5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port. The board also includes extensive headers such as 3 RGB LED pin headers, front panel audio and multiple fan/CPU fan connectors for complete system control.

Audio and expansion features include a 7.1-channel audio subsystem, multiple PCIe slots (two x16 Gen5-capable, two x16 Gen4-capable in various configurations, plus x4 and x1 slots) and an AMI UEFI BIOS with 512 Mbit memory to streamline tuning and BIOS updates.

Typical use cases include ultra-high-performance gaming rigs, professional workstations for content creation, and overclocking testbeds where advanced power delivery, thermal management and the latest connectivity standards matter. The package includes SATA cables, antenna, screws and drivers to simplify installation.
