AM5 DDR5 motherboard for Ryzen 9000 series

The ASRock X870E Challenger WiFi White is an ATX board built on the AMD X870E chipset for socket AM5 processors. It supports Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series CPUs with a 20+2+1 phase design and 110A SPS VRMs. Four DDR5 slots accept up to 256GB at 8200 MT/s using AMD EXPO or Intel XMP profiles.

Builders who need full PCIe 5.0 and Wi-Fi 7

This board suits enthusiasts who want one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, dual USB4 Type-C ports at 40Gbps, 5Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Users requiring more than two SATA ports or a second PCIe 5.0 x16 slot should consider alternative chipsets.

Single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for graphics

The expansion layout provides one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot electrically wired as x16. Only the primary slot delivers Gen5 bandwidth to the graphics card. Verify that your GPU and riser cable plans match this single Gen5 link before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How hot or noisy does the 20+2+1 phase 110A VRM get during all-day loads?

The board uses a 20+2+1 phase design with 110A SPS VRMs rated for high-end CPUs and overclocking; actual temperatures and fan noise depend on your cooler, case airflow and the specific Ryzen 7000, 8000 or 9000 series processor installed.

Which components must I already own before this motherboard will POST?

You need an AM5-socket Ryzen 7000, 8000 or 9000 series CPU, DDR5 memory modules (up to 256 GB across four slots), a graphics card for the PCIe 5.0 x16 or PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, and an ATX power supply with the required 12V and EPS connectors.

Will my PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives and SATA SSDs work at full speed alongside the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot?

Yes — the board provides one PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot and three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, plus two SATA 6 Gb/s ports, so Gen 4 NVMe drives and SATA SSDs operate at their rated speeds while the Gen 5 slot remains available for a faster drive.
