AI Advisor
ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.
Digital Power Design
B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W features an 8+2+1 phase power design with discrete MOSFETs, ensuring efficient and stable power delivery for AMD processors plus steady performance for day-to-day use.
Enhanced DDR5 Performance
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ASUS B850 motherboards. The B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W maximizes the potential of your DDR5 modules, from entry-level to extreme-speed kits.
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 B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO™) support and a wide array of UEFI settings for further performance tweaks.
Three M.2 slots (up to 128 Gbps)
B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W offers a total of three M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and two that support PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.
Cooler by Design
The B850 MAX 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.
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+
ASUS Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over fans. An Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.
Cooler Compatibility
ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics and customizable functionality for new motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig.
Empowering Connections
This motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity, including support for WiFi 6E, PCIe 5.0 slot and an arsenal of USB ports which includes Type-C® connections.
WiFi 6E®
Built-in WiFi 6E5 technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band. With triple the bandwidth of the 2.4/5/6 GHz band, WiFi 6E delivers ultrafast wireless networking speeds with improved capacity and better performance in dense wireless environments.
2.5Gb Ethernet
Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet reduces CPU overhead and offers exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfers.
USB 10Gbps Type-C®
A batch of USB ports support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a rear USB Type-C® connector with ultrafast USB 10Gbps for transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Personalization
The B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W enhances the user experience across the board, from simplifying BIOS setting adjustments to offering customizable RGB lighting controls for a uniquely personal system aesthetic.
DIY Friendly
The B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W motherboard features EZ PC DIY innovations that simplify and speed up the PC building process, making DIY easy and convenient.
Q-Antenna
With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.
Q-LED Core
The Q-LED Core display produces color-coded lights during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) that can help you troubleshoot potential issues.
Pre-mounted I/O shield
Our pre-installed I/O shield safeguards ports, simplifies the build process, increases functionality and enhances aesthetics for PC DIY enthusiasts.
BIOS FlashBack™
BIOS FlashBack™ simplifies BIOS updates. Just load the BIOS file onto a FAT32 USB stick, insert it into the BIOS FlashBack™ port, and press a button-no CPU or memory needed.
SafeSlot
PCIe 5.0 is twice as fast as PCIe 4.0. ASUS has adapted our SMT manufacturing for the faster SafeSlot, a reinforced metal sheath that ensures secure card installation and faster data speeds.
