Combo for AM5 builders

This bundle pairs the TUF GAMING X870E-PLUS WIFI7 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 9600X processor. The board uses the AMD X870E chipset and an AM5 socket that accepts Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series CPUs. Four DDR5 slots support up to 256 GB in dual-channel mode. The combination targets enthusiasts who want a ready-to-run platform for gaming and AI workloads.

16+2+1 80A power stages with ProCool connectors

An 8-layer PCB carries 16+2+1 power stages rated at 80 A each, fed by dual 8-pin ProCool connectors. Alloy chokes and durable capacitors complete the delivery network. Two PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slots accept 2280 drives, while two additional slots support PCIe 4.0 x4 on 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 lengths. Rear I/O includes two USB4 40 Gbps Type-C ports, a front-panel USB 20 Gbps Type-C header with 30 W power delivery, 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7.

Enlarged VRM and M.2 heatsinks with AI Cooling II

Comprehensive cooling uses an enlarged VRM heatsink, dedicated M.2 heatsinks and a PCH heatsink. Hybrid fan headers connect to Fan Xpert 4, which works with AI Cooling II to balance airflow and noise. The 6-core Ryzen 5 9600X operates within a modest thermal envelope, so the motherboard’s heatsink array and intelligent fan control keep temperatures low during sustained gaming or AI tasks without excessive fan speed.

Questions about this item

Does the bundle include a CPU cooler or do I need to buy one separately?

The bundle contains only the motherboard and the Ryzen 5 9600X processor; a compatible AM5 cooler must be purchased separately.

What memory speeds can I reach with the included Ryzen 5 9600X and four DDR5 slots?

The board supports DDR5 up to 8000+ MT/s when overclocked with Ryzen 9000 series CPUs, running in dual-channel mode across the four 288-pin slots.

Which M.2 drives fit the two PCIe 5.0 slots and do they share bandwidth with the graphics slot?

The two top M.2 slots accept 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors at PCIe 5.0 x4; they operate from the CPU lanes and do not reduce the PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot to x8.
