ASUS ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WiFi Mini-ITX AM5 Motherboard
The ASUS ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WiFi is a mini-ITX motherboard for enthusiasts building compact high-performance systems with AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 or 7000 series processors. It combines PCIe 5.0 support, DDR5 memory up to 8600+ MT/s (OC), WiFi 7 connectivity and a robust 10+2+1 power delivery system rated for 110 amps on the VCORE stage.
Why this product
PCIe 5.0 slots for GPU and storage
The topmost x16 expansion slot supports PCIe Gen 5 graphics cards with a SafeSlot retention bracket. The M.2_1 slot also runs at PCIe 5.0 x4 on Ryzen 9000 and 7000 series chips.
WiFi 7 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet
Built-in WiFi 7 (802.11be) with 320 MHz bandwidth reaches up to 6.5 Gbps, paired with Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet and LANGuard protection.
Dual USB4 ports with 8K display output
Two USB4 Type-C ports deliver 40 Gbps bidirectional bandwidth each and support up to 8K external display output, or dual 4K displays simultaneously.
110-amp VCORE power delivery
The 10+2+1 power stage design with ProCool II 8-pin connector delivers up to 110 amps to the CPU cores, built for sustained performance under heavy loads.
ROG Strix Hive II control module
The included Hive II module keeps audio controls, volume, a 10 Gb/s USB-A port and diagnostic functions within arm's reach of your desk.

- The second PCIe x16 slot is PCIe 4.0 on Ryzen 8000 (supports x8/x4 mode); PCIe 5.0 on Ryzen 9000 and 7000.
Best for
- Compact high-end gaming builds where PCIe 5.0 GPU and storage speed matter.
- Creators running AI applications and heavy multithreaded workloads that benefit from the 110-amp power delivery.
- Network-conscious users who want WiFi 7 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet without a separate expansion card.
- Users prioritizing fast external storage and display connectivity via dual USB4 ports.
Trade-offs
- ITX case size constraints: Mini-ITX form factor limits cooling solution height and expansion card count compared to standard ATX boards.
- SATA storage reliance: Only two SATA ports available via optional add-on card; primarily oriented toward NVMe M.2 storage.
- Ryzen 8000 users seeking full PCIe 5.0: First M.2 and second expansion slots run at PCIe 4.0 on Ryzen 8000 series.
- Budget-conscious builds: Premium positioning with WiFi 7, dual USB4 and robust power delivery reflects a higher price tier.
The ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WiFi integrates cutting-edge technology into a sleek mini-ITX form factor, enhanced by the ROG Strix Hive II for streamlined control. It features PCIe 5.0 slots for graphics and storage, dual-channel DDR5 slots and robust power delivery for top-tier gaming and heavy workloads. Meanwhile, advanced cooling solutions maintain peak performance, and WiFi 7 ensures ultra-fast connectivity. This platform delivers the power and connectivity that advanced AI PC applications demand.
The ROG Strix X870-I features 10+2+1 power stages rated for 110 amps. The VRM features 10+2+1 power stages, each rated to handle up to 110 amps — 10 VCORE (110A), 2 SoC (110A), 1 MISC (80A).
Fully embracing the new standard, the Strix X870-I offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support. The topmost x16 expansion slot is Gen 5-ready, and is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards.
Each USB4® port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. External display support reaches up to 8K output if one of the ports is in use, or both can be employed for dual 4K displays.
The DDR5 DOMINATION: The Strix X870-I is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. The Strix X870-I lets you overclock memory up to 8600+ MT/s. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.
The included ROG Strix Hive II module keeps the 3.5mm audio jack and volume controls within easy reach alongside a 10 Gb/s USB-A port and diagnostic functions. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet port provide you with fast connections to compatible network devices.
