Combo for high-end AM5 builds

This bundle pairs an AMD X870E chipset motherboard with a Ryzen 9 9900X processor. The CPU delivers 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture with a 5.6 GHz maximum boost clock. It targets enthusiasts building workstations or gaming systems that need strong multi-threaded performance.

Tool-free hardware installation

The board includes EZ PCIe Release for graphics card removal with a single button press. EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II allows tool-less mounting of up to four M.2 drives in 22110, 2280 and 2260 sizes. Four DDR5 slots support up to 256 GB of memory in dual-channel configuration.

X870E chipset with PCIe 5.0 connectivity

The chipset provides one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. M.2_1 and M.2_2 run at PCIe 5.0 x4 from the CPU while M.2_3 and M.2_4 use chipset lanes. A built-in USB 4 port adds 40 Gbps throughput alongside 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 7 wireless.

Questions about this item

Will the Ryzen 9 9900X run at its full 5.6 GHz boost on this board without a separate BIOS update?

The combo ships with the Ryzen 9 9900X already installed on an AM5 X870E board that natively supports the 9000 series, so the CPU will reach its 5.6 GHz max boost out of the box.

What DDR5 speed can I expect with four sticks populated?

With four DDR5 modules the board runs at JEDEC 4800 MT/s by default; overclocked speeds up to 8400 MT/s are validated for one or two modules only.

Does the board provide enough M.2 slots for two PCIe 5.0 SSDs and two PCIe 4.0 SSDs simultaneously?

Yes — M.2_1 and M.2_2 are wired to the CPU for PCIe 5.0 x4, while M.2_3 and M.2_4 run from the chipset at PCIe 4.0, giving four full-length slots in total.
