AI Overclocking
ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits.
Performance Overclocking
- Dynamic OC Switcher: Maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.
- Core Flex: Empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximize base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.
- PBO Enhancement: AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.
DDR5 Strength
For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the Strix B850-I is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits, courtesy of vast AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.
AEMP
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.
10+2+1 Power Stages
The VRM features 10+ 2+ 1 power stages, rated to handle up to 70 amps.
Ten-Layer PCB
A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
Alloy Chokes and Durable Capacitors
Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
Performance Cooling
- M.2 and Chipset Heatsinks: A large heatsink covers the NVME SSD slot to help keep your drive optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
- VRM Heatsink: The VRM heatsink extends over the rear I/O to maximize surface area and include a VRM fan for active cooling to deftly handle the power thermals of the latest AMD processors, while leaving clearance for large CPU coolers.
- High-Conductivity Thermal Pads: High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.
- 4-Pin Fan Header & Extra Flow Fan Header: The Strix B850-I features a chassis fan header with auto-detection for both PWM and DC fans. Additionally, its extra flow fan header offers users an additional cooling option, allowing for enhanced thermal performance for DRAM or other components.
Leading Connectivity
- Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet: Onboard Intel® 2.5Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, low-latency gaming, and high-res video streaming.
- ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna: Dual transceivers support the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands to enable faster throughput, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.
Disclaimer: The availability of WiFi 7 varies according to regional regulations. - WiFi 7: The revolutionary WiFi 7 is faster than standard WiFi 6*, thanks to tech like 160 MHz channels** on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM*. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming and industrial IoT.
PCIe 5.0
Fully embracing the new standard, the Strix B850-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. Two onboard M.2 slots are geared for blistering 16 Gb/s read and write speeds thanks to its PCIe 5.0 interface. One M.2 slot is covered with a substantial heatsink to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.
USB 20Gbps Port
A USB 20Gbps Type-C® port offers speedy data transfers up to USB 20Gbps.
Gaming Audio
- Dolby Atmos: ROG and Dolby® have partnered to bring superior gaming audio quality to users. Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, which enables immersive three-dimensional audio to be perceived from above, below and around the listener.
- SupremeFX: ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix B850-I implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.
Undeniably ROG Strix
The I/O shield and M.2 heatsink feature a perforated metal mesh that can either reflect the glow of internal RGB components or blend seamlessly into the shadows of a stealthy build. The cyber-style text and sharp, angular details firmly establish this motherboard as a member of the ROG Strix family.
