ASUS has officially launched their range of X670 and X670E motherboards in the Philippines. They are built on the AM5 platform for the new Ryzen 7000 series CPUs. The new boards will support DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 connectivity among a slew of improvements.
The X670E or X670 “Extreme” motherboard are the flagship of the bunch supporting two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and a single PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD slot. X670 becomes the mid-tier choice for enthusiasts with various x16 slot configurations while still carrying over the PCIe 5.0 NVMe slot.
ASUS boards will come with Q-Design innovations like latch-free x16 slots for easier GPU swapping, more cooling solutions, and sturdier backplates. Q-Latch allows seamless changing of NVMe drives without using screws that can get lost.
AI Cooling II is also thrown in the features list, which uses machine-learning to gather system data from a brief stress test. This allows ASUS motherboards to calculate the lowest fan speed possible to cool the system while still keeping fan noise as low as possible.
