Asus X670 Boards – Exclusive Hands On!

PRIME X670E-PRO WiFi
The PRIME seems to be trying to cement itself as more of a professional board, even though we see very similar specs to the other boards, we see a design that is geared less towards gamers and more towards creators, but still maintaining some of that gamer style, making this a potential option for a multi purpose system or even just a white themed build, as this was the only white board we saw in the line-up.
As well as the new AM5 socket and X670 chipset, we have support for DDR5 going up to 128GB across the four DIMM slots.
Storage wise we see a good collection of M.2 Slots, featuring a single PCIe 5.0 slot and a single 3.0 slot with two PCIe 4.0 slots. The support for PCIe Gen 5 also spreads across to the 16x slots, allowing for future GPUs to take advantage of the higher speed and bandwidth.
The board features enough USB for you to easy connect all of your devices; consisting of one USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, five USB 3.2 Gen 2, a healthy seven USB 3.2 Gen 1 and support for six USB 2.0 through the three internal headers.
Internet access is very unrestricted, as it features WiFi 6E and 2.5Gb LAN on a Realtek controller, allowing for all the connectivity you may need.
Finally is power delivery. The board uses a 14+2 power solution that is rated at 70A per stage.
