AMD X870 chipset motherboard for Ryzen 9000, 8000.
This ATX board uses the AM5 socket and AMD X870 chipset. It supports Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series processors. Four DDR5 slots accept up to 256GB of un-buffered non-ECC memory. Dual-channel operation and AMD EXPO profiles simplify high-speed tuning.
PCIe 5.0 graphics slot and four M.2 connectors
One CPU-linked PCIe 5.0 x16 slot handles modern graphics cards. Populating the M2B_CPU or M2C_CPU M.2 slots reduces that slot to x8 bandwidth. A chipset-linked PCIe 4.0 x4 slot shares bandwidth with the M2D_SB connector. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports remain available for additional drives.
256GB DDR5 capacity and 8000 MT/s overclock ceiling
The board validates DDR5 speeds up to 8000 MT/s when overclocked, with JEDEC 5200 MT/s as the baseline. Realtek ALC1220 delivers 7.1-channel audio. Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5GbE LAN provide current wireless and wired networking. Dual USB4 ports and front-panel USB-C expand peripheral connectivity.

Questions about this item
What case clearance do the four 288-pin DDR5 slots and the four M.2 connectors need?
The board is standard ATX so it fits any ATX case; the four DDR5 slots sit along the top edge and the four M.2 slots sit under the VRM and chipset heatsinks inside the I/O shield area.
How do I install an M.2 SSD without a screw, and what step do builders miss?
Lift the EZ-Latch lever, slide the 2280 or 2580 drive in, then press the lever down until it clicks — the missed step is forgetting to lock the lever, leaving the drive loose.
When will the Realtek ALC1220 7.1 audio codec or the Wi-Fi 7 module need replacement?
Both are soldered to the board and are not user-replaceable; if either fails the motherboard must be serviced under the five-year warranty.
