The ASUS ROG STRIX X870-I GAMING WIFI is an ultra-compact Mini-ITX motherboard designed for small form factor (SFF) PC builds that demand uncompromising performance. Despite its diminutive size, it’s engineered to harness the full potential of AMD’s AM5 Ryzen™ 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series Desktop Processors, making it ideal for powerful, space-saving gaming rigs or workstations.
Its robust 10+2+1 power stage design, featuring 110A power stages, ensures stable and efficient power delivery crucial for high-performance CPUs, especially in a compact chassis. It supports up to 128GB of high-speed DDR5 memory through two DIMM slots, optimized with AMD EXPO™ and ASUS AEMP technologies for superior overclocking stability.
For storage, the X870-I features **two M.2 slots**, including one PCIe 5.0 x4 slot for the fastest NVMe SSDs, and one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. A key innovation for this ITX board is the inclusion of the **ROG Strix Hive II** and **ROG FPS Card**. The ROG Strix Hive II is an external control interface that brings premium audio (with an ESS DAC), USB ports, and diagnostic Q-LEDs to your desktop, solving the common challenge of limited I/O on ITX boards. The ROG FPS Card provides additional SATA ports, USB 2.0 headers, and a front panel header, effectively expanding connectivity without cluttering the mainboard. Connectivity is further bolstered by **dual USB4® Type-C® ports** on the rear I/O, offering 40Gbps bandwidth and DisplayPort™ Alt Mode. High-speed networking is provided by **Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet** and the latest **Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be)** with Bluetooth 5.4. With ASUS’s intelligent AI Overclocking and AI Cooling II, this motherboard makes building and optimizing a high-end SFF system more accessible, proving that small form factors don’t have to compromise on features or performance.
