ASRock B850 LiveMixer WiFi AM5 ATX Motherboard - Wi-Fi 7
The ASRock B850 LiveMixer WiFi AM5 ATX Motherboard is built for content creators who need dense connectivity and reliable performance across multiple simultaneous devices. It pairs Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking with 23 USB ports and a full complement of M.2, PCIe, and SATA storage options, reducing dependence on external hubs. This board suits streamers, video editors, and creators running capture cards, audio interfaces, and other peripherals from a single platform.
Why this product
23 USB ports across rear and front headers
With 14 rear-panel and 9 front-header USB connections spanning USB 2.0 through USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, this board accommodates a wide array of peripherals without requiring an external hub.
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) for high-throughput wireless
The included Wi-Fi 7 module supports Multi-Link Operation, higher data throughput, and lower latency — suited to 8K video streaming, cloud gaming, and video conferencing.
Dual PCIe x4 slots for capture cards and more
Two PCIe x4-capable slots expand the board's compatibility with a broad range of PCIe expansion cards, useful for adding capture devices or other peripherals.
Five M.2 and SATA storage interfaces
One PCIe Gen5 M.2 slot, two PCIe Gen4 M.2 slots, and two SATA3 ports give content creators fast primary storage and ample room for project archives.
DDR5 support up to 8000+ MHz OC
Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256 GB and memory overclocking beyond 8000 MHz, keeping up with memory-intensive video editing and rendering workloads.
BIOS Flashback for hassle-free firmware updates
The BIOS Flashback Button lets you update firmware without a CPU or memory installed, which simplifies preparation when adopting a new processor generation.

Best for
- Streamers and video creators who run multiple capture cards, audio interfaces, and USB peripherals simultaneously — 23 USB ports reduce hub clutter.
- Wireless-first setups benefiting from Wi-Fi 7's Multi-Link Operation and lower latency for real-time streaming or video conferencing.
- Storage-heavy workflows — five storage interfaces (one Gen5 M.2, two Gen4 M.2, two SATA3) provide room for fast project drives alongside bulk archive storage.
- Builders on the AMD AM5 platform wanting headroom for future Ryzen 9000, 8000, or 7000 series upgrades without changing boards.
- RGB-conscious builds with Polychrome SYNC and SignalRGB support for coordinated lighting across compatible components.
Trade-offs
- Intel platform users — this board requires an AM5 processor and is incompatible with any Intel socket.
- DDR4 memory owners — the board accepts DDR5 only; existing DDR4 kits cannot be reused.
- Compact or small-form-factor builds — the ATX (9.6" × 12") footprint does not fit Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX cases.
- Users needing 10 GbE or higher wired speeds — onboard LAN tops out at 2.5 Gigabit; a separate 10 GbE card would be required.
- Buyers needing extensive PCIe 5.0 slots — only one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is provided; additional expansion slots are PCIe 4.0.
