Overclocking
Dynamic OC Switcher - Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.
Core Flex - Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximize base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.
PBO Enhancement - AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.
Memory
- DDR5 Domination - The Strix X870-I is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support.
- AEMP - ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules.
Cooling
-
M.2 and Chipset Heatsinks - To save space, both on-board M.2 slots and heatsinks are stacked together over the chipset. And to keep the thermals of installed high-performance drives in check, the entire array is cooled by an embedded fan.
- VRM Heatsink - TThe VRM heatsink and L-shaped backplate extend over the rear I/O to maximize surface area and include a VRM fan for active cooling to deftly handle the power thermals of the latest AMD processors, while leaving clearance for large CPU coolers.
-
High-conductivity Thermal Pads - High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.
- CPU Fan Headers - A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers provides easy access to CPU coolers.
- AIO Pump Fan Header - A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.
- 4-pin Fan Headers - The Strix X870-I features five chassis fan headers, each supporting auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Leading Connectivity
- ROG Strix Hive II - The ROG Hive II is an exclusive accessory designed to deliver user-friendly access to hardware and software features.
- ROG FPS Card - The ROG FPS card groups I/O onto a vertically-mounted card, saving valuable motherboard space and tidying cable management.
- WIFI 7 - The revolutionary WiFi 7 is up to 4.8X times faster than standard WiFi 6, thanks to tech like 320 MHz channels on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming and industrial IoT.
- ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna - Dual transceivers support the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands to enable faster throughput, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.
- Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet - Onboard Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, low-latency gaming, and high-res video streaming.
- PCIe 5.0 - Fully embracing the new standard, the Strix X870-I offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support. The topmost x16 expansion slot is Gen 5-ready, and is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. One of the onboard M.2 slots is geared for blistering 16 Gb/s read and write speeds thanks to its PCIe 5.0 interface, while all the rest can deliver still-impressive 8 Gb/s transfers. Every M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.
- Dual USB4 Ports - Each USB4® port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. External display support reaches up to 8K output if one of the ports is in use, or both can be employed for dual 4K displays.
EZ PC DIY - PCIE SLOT Q-Release Slim - With PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. This makes upgrades and maintenance easier than ever before. Users will no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.
- New M.2 Q-Latch - The new Q-Latch design allows for tool-free installation or removal of M.2 SSDs with just one press.
- Q-Antenna - With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.
- Clear CMOS & BIOS Flashback - The Clear CMOS button quickly resets BIOS settings to factory default. It can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect BIOS settings have been selected. BIOS FlashBack is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.
