ASUS ROG STRIX X870-I GAMING WIFI AM5 DDR5 Mini-ITX Motherboard, 2x DIMM slots, max. 96GB, 2x M.2 slots and 2 x SATA 6Gb/s, Wi-Fi 7 & BT v5.40 | 90MB1IW0-M0EAY0

The ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WIFI is the definitive choice for enthusiasts building boutique, small-form-factor PCs. Utilizing the high-bandwidth AMD X870 chipset, it provides native support for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards and NVMe storage. Despite the space constraints of the Mini-ITX format, ASUS has integrated a premium cooling solution with stacked heatsinks and an active VRM fan to ensure that the latest Ryzen processors can maintain peak boost clocks without thermal throttling.
 

The ROG Strix Hive II: Desktop Control Hub
A standout feature of the X870-I is the ROG Strix Hive II. This external module relocates critical hardware and audio components off the crowded motherboard and onto your desk. It features an ESS® SABRE 9260Q DAC for audiophile-grade sound, a convenient volume knob, and Q-LED diagnostic lights to help troubleshoot boot issues. It also includes an EZ mode PBO button, allowing you to overclock your Ryzen CPU with a single physical press.

Next-Gen Connectivity: WiFi 7 and Dual USB4
Connectivity is the core of the X870-I experience. It is equipped with WiFi 7, utilizing the 6GHz band and 320MHz bandwidth for ultra-fast wireless throughput and significantly lower latency. For physical connectivity, Dual USB4® ports provide up to 40Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth, supporting high-resolution displays and massive external storage arrays. This makes the board as capable of handling professional video editing as it is for 4K gaming.
 

Storage and Memory Innovation
To maximize space, the X870-I utilizes a ROG FPS-II card, which vertically mounts I/O headers, and a Triple-decker Heatsink that stacks M.2 and chipset components. It supports high-frequency DDR5 memory with exclusive ASUS AEMP (Asus Enhanced Memory Profile) and NitroPath technology, ensuring your SFF build can handle the fastest RAM kits on the market for extreme data throughput.
 

Why the ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WIFI Stands Out
AM5 Longevity: Native support for the revolutionary Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" architecture.

SFF Optimization: Mini-ITX form factor perfect for compact builds like the Fractal Terra or Lian Li A4-H2O.

Hive II Interface: External audio and system control for easier accessibility.

Dual USB4: Two 40Gbps Type-C ports for ultimate workstation versatility.
