ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi Motherboard Review

When it comes to high-end motherboards, ASUS are top of their game, having delivered incredible performance, build quality and designs year after year for as long as I can remember now. Their STRIX series has long been a smash hit with high-end PC gamers wanting excellent performance, and while the motherboards can often be a little more expensive than some rival products, the amount of extra features and the build quality has often justified the extra investment. Of course, with the release of the ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi, all of that seems to hold true yet again, as STRIX hits the AM5 platform.

ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi

The motherboard is very much on the high end of the scale, offering up support for the latest AMD AM5 socket 7000 series CPUs, with a powerful 18+2 Teamed Power Stages VRM configuration, as well as massive heatsinks that surround the CPU, but also cover all major hardware on the motherboard for added durability and performance stability, especially for those who love to push their hardware to the extreme and overclock. Of course, that’s backed up by some very robust connectivity too, including 2 x x16 PCIe 5.0 slots, and even PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots! However, that’s hardly surprising given that this motherboard is a long way away from being considered affordable.
