Six-layer PCB design

Enhanced stability and overclocking.

The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

Digi+ VRM control

Real-time voltage control.

The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.

Enhanced Memory & Storage Performance

Enhanced DDR5 performance

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of B850 motherboards. The B850M MAX GAMING WIFI maximizes the potential of your DDR5 modules, from entry-level to extreme-speed kits.³

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 B850M MAX GAMING WIFI offers extensive AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO^™) support and a wide array of UEFI settings for further performance tweaks.⁴

Three M.2 slots (up to 128 Gbps)

B850M MAX GAMING WIFI 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.⁵

Cooling

Cooler by design

The B850M MAX GAMING WIFI 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.

VRM heatsink and thermal pad

Massive VRM heatsink and essential thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

4-Pin PWM/DC fan

Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

AIO pump header

A dedicated PWM/DC header supports self-contained water-cooling setups.

Multiple temperature sources

Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ lets you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

Passive chipset heatsink

An aluminum passive chipset heatsink ensures optimal cooling and stable performance. It is more durable and longer-lasting than heatsinks with fans, which can be vulnerable to the buildup of dust and debris.

Smart protection

A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and excess current.

Smart Cooling precision

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.⁷
