ASUS B850 MAX GAMING WIFI - Motherboard

ASUS B850 MAX GAMING WIFI - Motherboard arrives as a high-performance ATX board built for the latest AMD Socket AM5 processors and designed to support gaming rigs and powerful workstations alike.

This motherboard supports AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 Series CPUs on Socket AM5, offering robust power delivery and a UEFI AMI BIOS with 256 Mbit memory and a convenient BIOS Flashback button for easy updates.

Memory capabilities are extensive, with four DIMM slots supporting DDR5 (ECC and non‑ECC), dual‑channel operation, up to 256 GB total (64 GB per slot) and supported clock speeds up to 9000 MHz for enthusiasts and overclockers.

Storage and expandability are excellent thanks to three M.2 slots (including a PCIe 5.0 x4 2280 slot and two PCIe 4.0 slots, one up to 22110), four SATA III connectors and support for up to seven drives and RAID 0/1/5/10 configurations for redundancy and performance.

Connectivity includes abundant USB options (including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type‑A and one Type‑C), triple video outputs with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax) with included antennas and Bluetooth 5.4 for fast wireless networking and peripherals.

Expansion slots are ready for multi‑GPU or PCIe devices with two PCIe x16 Gen3 slots, one Gen4 x16 and one Gen5 x16, plus three PCIe‑oriented M.2 slots. Audio delivers immersive 7.1‑channel output and the board carries a rich set of headers — multiple fan and pump connectors, RGB headers, TPM and Thunderbolt header — for custom cooling and lighting setups.

The ATX form factor, passive cooling and solid build (black finish) make the ASUS B850 MAX GAMING WIFI a versatile centerpiece for gamers, creators and prosumers building Windows 10 x64 or Windows 11 systems that need future‑proof connectivity and storage performance.

Use cases include a high‑refresh competitive gaming PC with ultra‑fast DDR5 and Wi‑Fi 6E, a content‑creation workstation using multiple fast NVMe drives and RAID arrays, or a home lab/server that benefits from 2.5 GbE networking, many SATA bays and robust expansion options.
