Eight-layer PCB design

Enhanced stability and overclocking.

The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

ProCool connectors

Proprietary 8 + 8 pin connectors improve PSU connection.

Graphic depicting ProCool solid pin connectors.

Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard’s link to the power supply with 8 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processor. Each connector features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.

Power Saving

Optimize power with CPU, lighting, and fan settings.

The Power Saving function contains several settings to easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting and set the fan profile to a Power Saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.

Digi+ VRM control

Real-time voltage control.

The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.

Enhanced Memory & Storage Performance

Enhanced DDR5 performance

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ASUS X870 motherboards. The X870 AYW GAMING WIFI W maximizes the potential of your DDR5 modules, from entry-level to extreme-speed kits.²

For entry-level modules without EXPO^™ support, ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) automatically detects memory chips and provides optimized profiles for enhanced performance.

For those looking to surpass stock DDR5 speeds, the X870 AYW GAMING WIFI W offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO^™) support and a wide array of UEFI settings for further performance tweaks³.

Three M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)

The X870 AYW GAMING WIFI W offers a total of three M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, two that support 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.⁴

Cooling

Cooler by design

The X870 AYW GAMING WIFI W motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

VRM heatsinks and thermal pads

The massive VRM heatsinks and essential thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

4-Pin PWM/DC fan

Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

AIO pump header

A dedicated PWM/DC header supports self-contained water-cooling setups.

Multiple temperature sources

Each header can dynamically reference four thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 lets you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

M.2 heatsink

Two M.2 heatsinks take care of the three M.2 slots, preventing throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during extended transfers.

Passive chipset heatsink

An aluminum passive chipset heatsink ensures optimal cooling and stable performance. It is more durable and longer-lasting than heatsinks with fans, which can be vulnerable to the buildup of dust and debris.

Smart protection

A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and excess current.

Cooling

Smart cooling precision

ASUS Fan Xpert 4

ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software offers comprehensive control over fans and AIO coolers. Auto-Tuning mode configures settings with one click, while Extreme Quiet mode reduces fan speeds for silent operation during light tasks. Controls are also available via the UEFI Bioses.
