ASUS PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI - Motherboard - ATX - Socket AM5 - AMD B850 Chipset

ASUS PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI - Motherboard - ATX - Socket AM5 brings a balanced blend of connectivity, expandability and modern features for builders using AMD Ryzen processors.

This ATX motherboard is built around the AMD B850 chipset and supports Socket AM5 processors from the AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 Series, giving a broad upgrade path for desktop systems. Its UEFI AMI BIOS (256 Mbit) ensures straightforward setup and compatibility with Windows 10 x64 and Windows 11.

Memory support is generous and future-proof, with four DIMM slots for DDR5-SDRAM in dual-channel configuration, ECC and non-ECC compatibility, and support for speeds up to 8000 MHz for up to 256 GB of internal memory. Unbuffered modules are supported for typical consumer and workstation use.

Storage and RAID options are comprehensive: three M.2 slots plus four SATA III connectors allow up to seven drives (HDDs or SSDs), with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 available for redundancy and performance. The board includes multiple PCIe slots (two x16 Gen3 and one x16 Gen4) for graphics and expansion cards.

Connectivity is a standout with integrated Wi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, plus a rich set of USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (3), Gen 2 Type-C (1), Gen 1 Type-A (2) and legacy USB 2.0. Video outputs include HDMI and DisplayPort, while audio delivers 7.1-channel output for immersive sound.

Cooling and chassis integration are well catered for by one CPU fan connector, four chassis fan headers, TPM and Thunderbolt header support, an ATX 24-pin and an EPS 8-pin power connector. The board measures 305 x 244 mm and follows the ATX form factor for broad case compatibility.

Ideal use cases include high-performance home or office workstations, content creation rigs that need fast storage and memory bandwidth, and gaming systems that benefit from Wi‑Fi 6E and PCIe Gen4 expansion. Its RAID support and multiple M.2 slots also make it suitable for media servers or small business desktops that require data redundancy and fast storage.

Key selling points: AMD B850 chipset with AM5 support, DDR5 up to 8000 MHz and 256 GB capacity, triple M.2 storage with RAID capability, Wi‑Fi 6E and 2.5 Gb Ethernet, plus extensive USB and audio/video connectivity.
