ROG Strix X670E-F Gaming WiFi motherboard unboxing

This time for the X670E series motherboards, ASUS only launched X670E-I, X670E-A, X670E-F, and X670E-E in the ROG Strix series this time. The differences among the three ATX motherboards are not big. The ROG Strix X670E-F that I got started this time Gaming WiFi is an intermediate level, with slightly fewer power supply phases than X670E-E, and the same 16+2 phases as X670E-A.

In the rear I/O expansion part, ROG Strix X670E-F provides 3 Type-C and 7 Type-A, one more Type-C and one less Type-A than X670E-A, and compared with X670E-E There are two Type-A missing, and the difference between them, players can choose between three motherboards according to their I/O needs.

As for the PCIe slot part, since the AMD 7000 series CPU channels are directly filled, the 28 channels are directly provided to the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and 2 PCIe 5.0 x4 M in addition to the 4 channels connected to the chipset. .2 slots, while the chipset is provided with 2 additional PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots and 4 SATA 6Gbps slots. This part is basically the same for the three motherboards.

→ There are product features on the back of the box.


→Accessories include Wi-Fi antenna, M.2 Q-Latch accessories, SATA cable and manual, etc.

This new generation of ROG Strix is ​​more low-key than the previous generation in terms of motherboard appearance design, but the overall design still has a good three-dimensional effect through the new paint and shape design, and on the top of the entire heat dissipation armor, VRM The heat sink is connected between the upper and side modules with heat pipes, so that the entire VRM power supply area can obtain better heat dissipation.

16+2 phase digital power supply design, X670E chipset

On the half of the mainboard, you can see that the CPU socket part uses the AM5 socket, and since this generation of Ryzen 7000 series processors are replaced with LGA packages, the socket part is similar to the familiar Intel processor socket. It is similar, but you can see that the AM4 radiator clip is still used on the top and bottom of the slot, but since the bottom plate and the processor clip are shared, players who upgrade the platform and use the old radiator should confirm whether they need to replace the AM5 dedicated radiator.


→ AM5 socket.


→ You can see the same type of heat sink buckle as AM4 on the top and bottom of the AM5 slot.

On the side of the slot, you can see that ROG Strix X670E-F has a 16+2 phase digital power supply design, the controller part uses ASP2206 control chip, and the mosfet part uses 90A MPS2215 mosfet.

→The memory slot part adopts the Q-DIMM slot design with one-sided buckle.

PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, 4 x M.2 slots

Since the Ryzen 7000 series processor provides 28 PCIe channels this time, after deducting the 4 channels assigned to the chipset, there are still 24 PCIe 5.0 channels. On the ROG Strix X670E-F design, 16 of them are given by the processor The PCIe 5.0 channel is assigned to the first PCIe slot alone, and the slot part is reinforced with metal armor, and there are PCIe 4.0 x1 slots and PCIe 4.0 x4 slots provided by the chipset below.


→ List of PCIe slots, from top to bottom are PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for the CPU, PCIe 4.0 x1 slots and PCIe 4.0 x4 slots for the chipset.


→ The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is covered with metal armor, and supports the first-generation Q-RELEASE quick release system. The buckle will not open by itself, and the buckle must be opened before installation.

The PCIe channels provided by the other 8 processors are assigned to two PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slots, and the other chipset is also given to 2 PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots and 4 SATA 6 Gbps Slots, the basic storage part can meet the needs of most players.

ROG Strix X670E-F Gaming WiFi Motherboard Summary

This generation has a lot of channels on the X670E, so you can also see that the expansion part is almost full on the ROG Strix series. Unless players have special needs for selection, it is actually like the ROG that I got started this time. The Strix X670E-F provides 12 USB ports at the rear I/O, the network also provides 2.5 GbE Ethernet and Wifi 6 wireless network, and of course there are PCIe 5.0 slots and 4 M.2 sockets Slots, for most players, are basically enough.

As for the exterior part, the overall armor is still fully covered, but there is still no metal back plate after breaking through 10,000, which is a bit disappointing. In addition, the light-emitting part only has a light-emitting light board in the rear I/O area this time, which may be considering the current situation. Graphics cards are getting thicker and thicker, so there is no light-emitting design on the lower part of the motherboard. Of course, there are also 3 ARGB connectors and one RGB connector on the top and bottom, so that players can use all the light-emitting accessories on the case to let the motherboard control the lighting effects. .

In the final price part, the ROG Strix X670E-F Gaming WiFi mainboard came to 13,990 yuan, while the price of all ROG Strix X670E models exceeded 10,000 yuan, but relatively good scalability can be obtained, but if players feel that the budget is not sufficient, The X670E may only be able to choose the TUF Gaming series or choose the B650E/B650 motherboard.
