ASUS AI Intelligence
Boost the performance of large language models (LLMs) with AI Cache Boost. Available exclusively on ASUS AMD 800 and 600 series motherboards with Ryzen™ 9000 processors, this BIOS setting optimises the CPU cache and memory channels. By fine-tuning high-speed memory, it delivers up to 29% higher local LLM performance. ASUS AI Advisor uses artificial intelligence technology to understand questions in natural language or scenario descriptions. It lets users discover the features and advanced capabilities of ASUS motherboards in a straightforward way. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies that continuously optimise network performance, providing a reliable and seamless connection and unlocking the maximum speed of WiFi 7.
Core Flex and PBO enhancement
Core Flex lets you push the limits further than ever before by controlling clocks, power, and thermals in new, creative ways. In its simplest form, you can maximise the base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce the CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. However, the system is highly adaptable, supporting several user-controlled functions that can independently adjust power, current, and temperature limits. This means you can tune your processor's performance exactly how you want.
AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) increases the current and voltage delivery to the CPU to achieve higher performance when needed. By aggressively tuning PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution for an even greater performance boost.
DDR5 memory performance
The ASUS ROG STRIX B850-E GAMING WIFI motherboard is ready for enthusiast kits thanks to its extensive support for AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO). It allows memory overclocking up to 8400+ MT/s. DIMM Fit is an ASUS BIOS feature that performs a precise analysis of individual memory modules to optimise performance and identify potential issues. DIMM Fit Pro is an advanced optional feature offering more extensive customisation options for memory optimisation. ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for memory modules with PMIC restrictions.
Power and modern connectivity
The ASUS ROG STRIX B850-E GAMING WIFI motherboard is equipped with 16+2+2 power stages rated at 110 amps. The 16 + 2 + 2 power solution is rated at 90A per stage. The board is equipped with two ProCool power connectors. It takes full advantage of the new standard, offering comprehensive PCIe 5.0 support. There is one USB4 Type-C port and a USB 20Gbps port. Connectivity is provided by WiFi 7, Realtek 5Gb Ethernet, and the ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna.
BIOS and UEFI
Simplify your motherboard configuration with the BIOS Q-Dashboard tool. An intuitive visual display of hardware connections and corresponding BIOS settings takes the hassle out of setting up your system. Upgrade now and discover the power of the BIOS Q-Dashboard tool to easily and efficiently enhance your PC settings. The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers and more complex features for seasoned veterans.
Dynamic OC Switcher and ASUS GlideX
Dynamic OC Switcher maximises processor performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between manual overclocking for demanding multi-threaded tasks and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The modern Overclocking Load Guard features an enhanced instant current protection mechanism that prevents system crashes during overclocking. ASUS GlideX is a screen sharing, screen control, and cross-device/platform operation solution that boosts productivity on PCs, tablets, and smartphones via USB or WiFi. Features include screen mirroring, screen extension, unified control with a single keyboard and mouse, easy file transfer, and using mobile cameras as PC webcams. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS systems.
AIDA64 Extreme
The ASUS ROG STRIX B850-E GAMING WIFI motherboard includes a sixty-day subscription to AIDA64 Extreme, a tool that provides detailed hardware and software information, as well as benchmarks to measure the performance of the entire system or individual components. AIDA64 Extreme includes a monitoring and diagnostics feature that detects hardware problems and prevents them. All important system sensors can be monitored in real time, so voltage, fan speed, and temperature data can be displayed on the desktop or sent to dedicated displays or the LCD panels of ROG AIO water coolers.
Armoury Crate
Armoury Crate is a software utility designed for centralised control of supported gaming products, making it easy to fine-tune the look and feel of your system. From a single intuitive interface, Armoury Crate helps you customise RGB lighting and effects for compatible devices and synchronise them with Aura Sync to create a unified lighting scheme across your entire setup. The ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software, included with Armoury Crate, provides comprehensive control over fans and all-in-one (AIO) water coolers.
Lighting and cooling design
ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, which gives you complete lighting control and a variety of presets for both the built-in RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. The effects can be easily synchronised across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look. ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, a bold look, and customisable features for B850 motherboards.

Choosing a motherboard
When choosing a motherboard (also known as a mainboard), it's important to pay close attention to the motherboard's socket type, form factor and chipset. These parameters are among the most crucial and ensure the board's compatibility with the processor, expansion cards and other components. The specific socket determines your choice of processor, while the other connectors will dictate the selection of other components for your future computer.Specifications
