ASUS Republic of Gamers Strix X870-I GAMING WIFI AM5 Mini-ITX Motherboard

If you’re building a high-performance compact PC, this motherboard makes it easy to fit serious power into a small space. It supports AMD’s 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors and handles up to 96GB of DDR5 memory, which is plenty for gaming, editing, and multitasking. You get a PCIe 5.0 slot for a top-tier graphics card, along with two M.2 slots—one supporting ultra-fast PCIe 5.0 SSDs. Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5G Ethernet keep your connection fast and steady, and the USB4 ports let you plug in high-speed storage or even an 8K display. The included ROG Strix Hive II module makes it easier to manage audio, USB, and diagnostics from your desk. With built-in tools for cooling, overclocking, and smart tuning, it’s designed for serious performance without the clutter.
