ASUS ROG Strix X570-I Gaming AMD Motherboard Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0 WiFi 6

Compact X570 platform

The ASUS ROG Strix X570-I Gaming is a Mini-ITX motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset with an AM4 socket. It targets builders who want a small-form-factor system that still delivers PCIe 4.0 bandwidth for graphics and storage. Integrated WiFi 6 and Intel Gigabit Ethernet handle networking, while HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 support onboard video output. The board suits enthusiasts assembling a powerful compact gaming or workstation rig.

Step up from older chipsets

Moving to this X570 board adds PCIe 4.0 support that earlier AM4 platforms lack, so compatible Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series processors can run GPUs and M.2 drives at the higher link speed. The 8+2 power stage design with ProCool II connector and alloy chokes is engineered for multi-core chips that draw more current than entry-level CPUs. Builders staying with a previous-generation processor or a lower-core-count part will not see the same platform benefit.

PCIe 4.0 and WiFi 6 limits

PCIe 4.0 bandwidth is only realised when the installed CPU and add-in devices both support the standard; older Ryzen chips restrict the slots to PCIe 3.0 speeds. The two M.2 sockets share chipset lanes, so populating both can reduce available throughput for other peripherals. WiFi 6 reaches its advertised 2.4 Gbps ceiling only with a matching router and clear spectrum; real-world throughput will be lower. SATA 6Gb/s ports remain capped at that interface's maximum regardless of the chipset upgrade.
