CPU + Ryzen 7 9700X
- 8-core 16-thread Ryzen 7 9700X delivers 5.5 GHz boost for high frame-rate gaming
- 14+2+1 80A DrMOS stages on an 8-layer PCB give stable power to the CPU
- One PCIe 5.0 and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots with a massive heatsink for fast storage
- Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5Gb Ethernet, rear USB 20Gbps Type-C and front USB 10Gbps Type-C for quick data transfer
- Enlarged VRM and M.2 heatsinks plus PCH heatsink with Fan Xpert 4 keep temperatures low
Combo purpose
This bundle pairs an ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS WIFI motherboard with a Ryzen 7 9700X processor. The board uses the AMD B850 chipset on an AM5 socket and the CPU delivers 8 cores and 16 threads with a 5.5 GHz max boost clock. It targets gamers and creators who want a ready-to-build platform for high-refresh gaming and multi-threaded workloads.
Compatibility checklist
Verify that your chassis accepts a micro-ATX board and that the power supply provides two 8-pin CPU connectors for the 14+2+1 80A DrMOS stages. You will need DDR5 modules; the board runs four 288-pin slots up to 8000 MT/s with a 192 GB ceiling and supports EXPO and AEMP profiles. Ensure your graphics card fits a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and that any M.2 drives match the 2280, 2260 or 2242 form factors.
Upgrade context
The combination replaces an older AM4 system or an entry-level AM5 build by adding PCIe 5.0 for the primary M.2 and GPU slot, Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5 Gbps LAN and rear USB 20 Gbps Type-C. The jump is worthwhile when you need the 8000 MT/s memory headroom, the 7.1 audio codec with front-panel impedance sensing, or the Q-Release and Q-Latch DIY features for easier maintenance.

Questions about this item
Will the Ryzen 7 9700X fit the AM5 socket on this board without a BIOS update?
The CPU and motherboard share the AM5 socket, so the processor seats directly; the board ships with a BIOS that supports Ryzen 9000 series out of the box.
What DDR5 speed can I run with the included CPU and four populated slots?
The board validates up to 8000+ MT/s when overclocked; with four sticks installed the practical ceiling is lower, so check the QVL for your kit.
Does the combo include a cooler or must I buy one separately?
The processor is sold unlocked and does not ship with a cooler, so you will need an AM5-compatible air or liquid cooler before first boot.
