Combo for AM5 builds

This bundle pairs the TUF GAMING X870E-PLUS WIFI7 motherboard with the Ryzen 9 9900X processor. The board uses the AMD X870E chipset and an AM5 socket. The CPU delivers 12 cores and 24 threads based on Zen 5 architecture with a 5.6 GHz maximum boost frequency.

AI features and connectivity

ASUS AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II and AI Networking II automate tuning, fan curves and traffic prioritisation. AEMP profiles simplify DDR5 memory setup. Rear I/O includes two USB4 Type-C ports at 40 Gbps and a front-panel USB 20 Gbps Type-C header with 30 W power delivery. Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet handle wireless and wired links.

Power delivery and expansion

The 16+2+1 80 A power stages sit on an 8-layer PCB with 8+8 pin ProCool connectors, alloy chokes and durable capacitors. Enlarged VRM, M.2 and PCH heatsinks connect to hybrid fan headers managed by Fan Xpert 4. Four M.2 slots support 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors, with two running at PCIe 5.0 x4 and two at PCIe 4.0 x4.

Questions about this item

Will this motherboard fit in a standard ATX case and align with my PSU cables?

The board follows the ATX form factor and uses dual 8-pin ProCool power connectors, so any ATX case with standard EPS cables will accommodate it.

What DDR5 memory speeds can I run with the included Ryzen 9 9900X without manual tuning?

The CPU officially supports DDR5-5600, and the motherboard’s AEMP feature can lift compatible kits higher automatically.

How many high-speed M.2 drives can I install at PCIe 5.0 x4?

Two M.2 slots — M.2_1 and M.2_2 — operate at PCIe 5.0 x4 when a Ryzen 9000 or 7000 series processor is installed.
