Combo contents

This bundle pairs an ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor. The board uses the AMD X870E chipset and AM5 socket, supporting Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series CPUs. It delivers 24 plus 2 plus 2 power stages rated at 110A each, dual 10Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11 be and Bluetooth 5.4 for high-throughput connectivity.

Compatibility checks

Verify your chassis accepts an Extended ATX form factor and that your power supply provides enough 8-pin or 12VHPWR connectors for the 110A power stages. Ensure your DDR5 kit matches the board’s 288-pin slots and targeted speeds such as 8600 or 9600 MT/s depending on the CPU generation. Confirm M.2 lengths of 2242, 2260, 2280 or 22110 fit your drives and that SATA devices use the four 6Gb/s ports.

Ideal use cases

Suits builders creating an advanced AI workstation or enthusiast desktop who need dual USB4 40Gbps ports, twelve USB 10Gbps ports, five PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots with substantial cooling and ROG overclocking tools like Dynamic OC Switcher and Core Flex. Users with smaller cases, limited PSU connectors or no need for 10Gb networking and extensive M.2 capacity should consider a more compact platform.

Questions about this item

Will the included Ryzen 9 9950X3D fit this board without a BIOS update?

The AM5 socket supports Ryzen 9000 series processors out of the box, so the bundled CPU is ready to install.

How many M.2 drives can I run at PCIe 5.0 speeds and what cooling is provided?

Two onboard slots and two more via the included ROG Hyper M.2 card run at PCIe 5.0; the primary slot has a 3D vapour-chamber heatsink and the card adds substantial cooling.

What memory speeds can I expect with the supplied CPU and four populated slots?

With Ryzen 9000 series the board validates up to 8600 MT/s overclocked; four unbuffered DDR5 modules up to 256 GB total are supported in dual-channel mode.
