PERFECT for White AMD AM5 PC Builds? ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WIFI Unboxing & Overview

AMD’s “Zen 5“ Ryzen 9000 series of processors have been on the market for some weeks now since their launch in August 2024, but one thing that has been noticeably absent is the brand’s latest 800-series chipsets - for some reason, AMD’s chosen to launch these chipsets and their accompanying motherboards after its Ryzen 9000 products have arrived on the shelves of retailers. As it stands, the plan is to launch motherboards with the high-end X870E and X870 chipsets on 30 September 2024, and then follow up with budget-friendlier motherboards sporting the more affordable B850 and B840 chipsets in the first quarter of 2025. In the lead-up to 30 September 2024, ALKtech takes a look at a X870 motherboard that is targeted at consumers looking to build a high-end white-themed AMD Ryzen 9000 or Ryzen 7000 PC - the ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WIFI.
