Combo for AM5 Builders

This bundle pairs an ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor. The board uses the AMD X870 chipset and AM5 socket, supporting Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series CPUs. The included 9600X delivers 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture. It targets gamers and creators who want a ready-to-go platform with modern connectivity.

Check Socket, Memory and Case Clearance

Verify your chassis fits an ATX board and that your CPU cooler mounts on AM5. The board runs DDR5 only, up to 256 GB across four 288-pin slots at 4400 MT/s with EXPO and AEMP support. Non-ECC unbuffered modules are required. Ensure your power supply has an 8-pin EPS connector for the 16+2+1 80A SPS power stage design. Two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots take 2280 drives; two more run at PCIe 4.0.

Durable Power Delivery and Front-Panel Speed

An 8-layer PCB, ProCool connectors, alloy chokes and durable capacitors back the 16+2+1 80A SPS power stages for stable delivery. Massive M.2 heatsinks cover the PCIe 5.0 slots. Rear I/O includes dual USB4 40 Gbps Type-C ports, three USB 10 Gbps Type-A, four USB 5 Gbps Type-A, one USB 2.0, HDMI, 2.5 Gb LAN, Wi-Fi 7 and 7.1 audio via Realtek ALC1220P. A front-panel USB 20 Gbps Type-C header supports 30 W PD fast charging.
