Overview
The ASUS ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI is an ATX motherboard built around the AMD X870E chipset and Socket AM5 platform. It supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series desktop processors and combines DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 expansion, high-speed storage, dual Ethernet interfaces, Wi-Fi 7, and USB4 connectivity for professional workstation and content-creation systems.
Processor and Memory
The motherboard uses Socket AM5 and supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series desktop processors. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB of memory, with supported memory speeds up to 8000+ MT/s through overclocking depending on the processor and memory configuration. ECC and non-ECC unbuffered memory are supported.
Expansion and Storage
For Ryzen 9000 and 7000 Series processors, the board provides two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots supporting x16 or x8/x8 operation, plus a chipset-connected PCIe 4.0 x16 slot operating at x4. Storage connectivity includes four M.2 slots and four SATA 6Gb/s ports. The first two M.2 slots support PCIe 5.0 x4 with compatible Ryzen 9000 and 7000 Series processors, while the chipset-connected M.2 slots operate at PCIe 4.0 x4.
High-Speed Networking
The ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI provides two wired network interfaces: one Marvell AQtion 10Gb Ethernet connection and one Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet connection. ASUS LANGuard is also included. Integrated 2x2 Wi-Fi 7 supports the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands and 320MHz channels, with Bluetooth 5.4 support. The installed Wi-Fi module may vary between production units.
USB and Display Connectivity
Rear I/O includes two USB4 40Gbps USB Type-C ports, one USB 20Gbps Type-C port, seven USB 10Gbps Type-A ports, and one USB 2.0 Type-A port. The front USB 20Gbps connector supports USB Type-C with up to 30W power delivery. Display connectivity includes one HDMI 2.1 port and two USB4 ports capable of USB Type-C display output.
Key Features
- AMD X870E chipset with Socket AM5 support for Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors
- Four DDR5 DIMM slots supporting up to 256GB and up to 8000+ MT/s OC
- Dual wired networking with 10Gb Ethernet and 2.5Gb Ethernet
- Four M.2 slots, including PCIe 5.0 x4 support for compatible processors
- Two USB4 40Gbps Type-C ports plus integrated Wi-Fi 7
Applications
The motherboard is suited to professional workstations requiring high-speed networking, multiple PCIe devices, fast NVMe storage, large DDR5 memory configurations, and high-bandwidth external connectivity. Its combination of 10Gb Ethernet, 2.5Gb Ethernet, USB4, PCIe 5.0, and Wi-Fi 7 is appropriate for demanding creator and workstation builds.
DC Supplies Product Note
Processor selection affects the available expansion and storage configuration. With compatible Ryzen 9000 or 7000 Series processors, the board can provide two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and two PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 connections; Ryzen 8000 Series processors have different PCIe and M.2 limitations, so the intended CPU should be confirmed before configuring multiple high-bandwidth devices.
