ASUS Strix X570-E GAMING WIFI IIÂ Overview
Take your gaming experience to new heights with the ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Wi-Fi II AM4 ATX Motherboard from ASUS. Powered by the AMD X570 chipset, this motherboard supports second- and third-generation AMD Ryzen processors with the AM4 socket for high-end gaming and content creation. This chipset is designed to take full advantage of the PCIe 4.0 data bandwidth to handle demanding tasks such as 4K live streaming, video editing, or gaming at high settings. Featuring up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, the memory can be overclocked to 4600 MHz and can be installed across the four DIMM slots to improve your system’s multitasking capabilities and speed. This motherboard also supports two M.2 NVMe SSD’s and eight SATA III storage drives, which can be put into RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations. The PCIe 4.0 x16 and PCIe 3.0 x16 slots can accommodate discrete graphics cards, or you can take advantage of AMD Ryzen processors that support integrated graphics by connecting a display directly to the motherboard’s DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.1 ports.
Connect all your peripherals to the motherboard’s eight USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and one Type-C port, giving you multiple high-speed ports with speeds up to 10 Gb/s. This motherboard also features onboard Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, providing you with high speeds for online gaming, 4K video streaming, or live streaming. Additionally, this motherboard features ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting, allowing you to create a custom RGB gaming setup. The ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Wi-Fi II is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit.
AMD X570 Chipset
Power Design
- ProCool II Power Connector – ProCool II Sockets are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines and feature a metal armor for improved heat dissipation.
- Digi+ Power Control – Ensures smooth and clean power delivery to the CPU.
- 12+4 Power Stages – The 12+4 CPU VRM power stages combine high- and low-side MOSFETS and drivers for improved efficiency.
- Chokes – Thermal pads are installed on the chokes to help transfer heat to the heatsink.
- Capacitors – Durable capacitors are designed to resist extreme temperatures.
- 6-Layer PCB – The PCB design quickly dissipates heat around the VRM to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
Cooling
- VRM Heatsink and L-Shaped Heatpipe – Two VRM heatsinks are connected by an L-shaped heat pipe to provide ample surface area and mass to deal with the heat generated by the power array.
- Thermal Pads – Thermal pads help to transfer heat from components to the heatsink.
- Active Chipset Heatsink – With better PCIe performance, the ROG Strix X570-E Gaming utilizes a built-in fan to help keep its chipset cool.
- Dual M.2 Heatsinks – M.2 heatsinks prevent drives from getting too hot and throttling performance.
- Passive Chipset Heatsink – A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures.
Storage & Memory
- Dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 – PCIe 4.0 offers roughly double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 for increased transfer speeds up to 8066 MB/s.
- ASUS OptiMem II – The ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Wi-Fi II supports up to 128GB DDR4 memory across four slots. OptiMem II technology optimizes memory trace layout to improve memory stability and compatibility, lower latencies, and improve frequency margins.
Networking
- 2.5G Ethernet – Fast wired connection for smoother, lag-free gaming, streaming high-resolution content, and quickly transferring files.
- Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) – Offers higher network efficiency, faster Wi-Fi speeds, greater coverage, and improved battery life for connected devices.
- Bluetooth 5.0 – Provides users with cable-free device connectivity.
