Socket AM5 Mini ITX platform

The ASRock B850I Lightning WiFi fits AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors into a Mini ITX footprint. The B850 chipset provides a 10+1+1 phase power design rated at 110A SPS for the VCore. Two 288-pin DDR5 slots support up to 128GB at 8200+ MT/s with AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles.

Builders needing compact high-speed I/O

This board suits small-form-factor systems that require a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot running at Gen5 with 7000 and 9000 series CPUs, plus a CPU-attached Blazing M.2 2280 socket at Gen5x4. The single x16 slot and two DIMM slots limit multi-GPU or quad-channel memory builds, so users needing those configurations should look at ATX alternatives.

Integrated connectivity and audio

Rear I/O includes a 2.5Gbps Killer E3100G LAN port, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, one HDMI and one USB Type-C with DP-Alt graphics output. Four rear USB 2.0 ports and front-panel headers for USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen1 and two USB 2.0 complete the USB complement. Realtek ALC1220 drives 7.1-channel audio with Nahimic software enhancement.

Questions about this item

What DDR5 memory speed and capacity must I already have to reach the 8200+(OC) rating on this board?

Install two DDR5 DIMMs up to 128 GB total; the board runs dual-channel and supports AMD EXPO or Intel XMP 3.0 profiles up to 8200+(OC).

Will my Ryzen 7000 series CPU run the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot at full Gen5 x16 speed?

Yes, with a Ryzen 7000 or 9000 series processor the slot operates at Gen5 x16; 8000 series Phoenix 1 runs Gen4 x8 and Phoenix 2 runs Gen4 x4.

How do I confirm the 2.5 Gbps LAN and 7.1-channel audio are active after assembly?

Check Device Manager for the Killer E3100G 2.5 Gbps adapter and Realtek ALC1220 7.1 codec, then verify link speed and speaker configuration in their respective control panels.
