ASRock B850M-X WiFi AM5 Micro ATX Motherboard (DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E)

The ASRock B850M-X WiFi is a motherboard engineered for builders who refuse to settle. Whether you're assembling a competitive gaming rig, a streamlined creative workstation, or a compact powerhouse for daily use, this Micro ATX board delivers top-tier performance, ultra-fast connectivity, and platform versatility—all in a space-saving design.

At its core lies the AMD B850 chipset, primed for Ryzen™ 9000, 8000, and 7000 series CPUs. The AM5 socket ensures compatibility with AMD's latest innovations, including PCIe Gen5 support and DDR5 memory, pushing the boundaries of what your next-gen system can achieve. Whether you're overclocking your CPU or chasing frame-perfect gameplay, the 6+1+1 power phase design with Dr.MOS ensures rock-solid voltage delivery and thermal stability under load.

Designed to maximise memory performance, the B850M-X supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory at a blistering 8200+ MHz (OC). Whether you're chasing faster compile times or lower latency in esports titles, Intel® XMP and AMD EXPO profiles make fine-tuning memory effortless.

Speed is nothing without storage, and here the B850M-X shines. One Gen5x4 Blazing M.2 slot (128 Gb/s) and one Gen4x4 Hyper M.2 slot (64 Gb/s) deliver lightning-fast storage options. Coupled with RAID support across both SATA and NVMe devices, your data workflow stays sharp, responsive, and resilient.

Expandability is fluid and forward-looking. A PCIe 4.0 x16 slot handles high-end GPUs with ease, while two additional PCIe 4.0 slots give headroom for capture cards, high-speed NVMe adapters, or networking upgrades. Integrated Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5G LAN ensure latency-free online gaming and ultra-responsive connectivity—whether you're leading a team in a competitive lobby or downloading an entire game library overnight.

Onboard graphics support through HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 opens the door for high-refresh 4K displays at up to 120Hz, perfect for creators and multitaskers leveraging integrated RDNA™ graphics. For audio purists, the Realtek ALC897 codec with Nahimic enhancements transforms your headphones or speakers into immersive surround environments—ideal for deep-focus editing, cinematic bingeing, or competitive FPS action.

The motherboard’s Polychrome RGB ecosystem offers personalisation without compromise. Sync addressable lighting across cases, fans, and peripherals, or integrate with SignalRGB to trigger in-game reactive effects and system-wide visual feedback.

Thermal management is intuitive and hands-on. With dedicated headers for CPU fans, AIO pumps, and water cooling systems, plus a full UI-driven fan tuning interface, maintaining optimal thermals is effortless and visually guided.

Feature-rich, compact, and future-ready, the ASRock B850M-X WiFi is proof that performance doesn't need a full tower to make a bold statement.
