Processor and Memory Support
The AMD X670 chipset and AM5 socket support compatible Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series desktop processors. Check the ASUS CPU support list and required BIOS version before installing a processor.
Two DDR5 DIMM slots provide dual-channel memory operation with a maximum listed capacity of 96GB. The motherboard supports memory overclocking profiles and ASUS OptiMem II technology. Achievable memory speeds depend on the processor, memory kit, BIOS settings, and system configuration.
Graphics and Expansion
The reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot provides expansion for compatible graphics cards. This Mini-ITX design prioritizes a single primary expansion slot to maintain a compact layout while supporting modern graphics hardware.
Storage Options
Two M.2 slots support high-speed NVMe storage. The primary M.2_1 slot supports PCIe 5.0 x4 drives, while M.2_2 supports PCIe 4.0 x4 drives in compatible lengths. Two SATA 6Gb/s connections are also available through the included ROG FPS-II card.
AMD RAIDXpert2 supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations for compatible NVMe and SATA storage. Review the motherboard manual for installation instructions and supported drive configurations.
Networking and USB Connectivity
Integrated Wi-Fi 6E supports compatible 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz wireless networks. Bluetooth 5.2 provides connectivity for compatible peripherals, while Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet offers a wired networking option.
The rear panel provides two USB4 Type-C ports, five USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and three USB 2.0 Type-A ports. The USB4 ports support data transfer up to 40Gbps and compatible DisplayPort video output. Additional front-panel USB connectivity is available through internal motherboard headers and the ROG STRIX HIVE.
ROG STRIX HIVE Control Hub
The included ROG STRIX HIVE is an external control and connectivity hub designed to make selected motherboard functions easier to access. It provides USB connectivity, audio connections, BIOS FlashBack control, volume adjustment, and an EZ Mode PBO button. This arrangement helps make important controls more accessible when building in a compact case.
Audio and Cooling
The motherboard's audio system uses the ROG High Definition Audio ALC4050 codec and ESS SABRE9260Q DAC, with supported audio functions accessed through the ROG STRIX HIVE. Features include high-quality audio playback, microphone connectivity, and optical S/PDIF output.
Thermal features include VRM heatsinks, M.2 and chipset cooling, an active chipset fan, a CPU fan header, an AIO pump header, and a chassis fan header. These features help accommodate cooling needs within a compact Mini-ITX build.
DC Supplies Product Note
The ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-I GAMING WIFI combines a compact Mini-ITX layout with PCIe 5.0 graphics and storage support, DDR5 memory, Wi-Fi 6E, and dual USB4 ports. Before purchase, confirm processor and BIOS compatibility, case clearance, memory requirements, and the cooling arrangement for your planned system.
