A compact AM5 motherboard paired with a Ryzen 5 9600X CPU, delivering DDR5 support up to 96 GB, twin PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, WiFi 7, 2.5 Gb Ethernet and a 10+2+1 70 A power stage in a mini-ITX form factor
This combo pairs an ASUS ROG Strix B850-I Gaming WiFi motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor. The Mini-ITX board fits AM5 CPUs from the Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series. Two DDR5 slots support up to 96 GB of memory. A PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot and dual M.2 slots handle modern GPUs and fast storage.
The 10+2+1 phase design is rated for 70 A per stage with ProCool connectors. Massive heatsinks and an integrated I/O cover use high-conductivity thermal pads to spread heat across the VRM and one M.2 slot. A 4-pin CPU fan header, AIO pump header, chassis fan header and extra flow header give flexible cooling control for quiet operation.
ASUS AI Advisor, AI Overclocking, AI Networking II and AEMP automate tuning for CPU, memory and traffic prioritisation. Onboard WiFi 7 (802.11 be) and Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet provide high-speed links. Q-Release Slim, M.2 Q-Slide, Q-Latch, Q-Antenna, Q-Dashboard, Q-LED, BIOS FlashBack, Clear CMOS and FlexKey simplify assembly and troubleshooting.

Remove the large M.2 heatsink first, slide the drive into the Q-Slide track, then press down until the Q-Latch clicks; the step most often missed is reattaching the heatsink with its thermal pad in place.
Clean dust from the massive heatsinks and integrated I/O cover every few months; the thermal pads are designed for the product lifetime and do not require scheduled replacement.
The lone 4-pin chassis header can only drive one case fan directly; additional fans need a hub or splitter, so that header is the first airflow bottleneck during extended heavy use.
