Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots stand ready for next-gen graphics cards and add-in cards. To keep PCIe 5.0 SSDs operating comfortably, the hefty and thick M.2 Combo-sink provides a large surface area for cooling. And the Massive M.2 Heatsink is included in the accessory kit.
A new generation of conveniences ease the building process with the ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi. In addition to the PCIe Slot Q-Release button, which makes it easy to remove the graphics card, there’s an integrated power button on the motherboard that makes it easy to do a pre-test prior to building the whole system. And a spare M.2 thermal pad in the ROG accessory kit makes sure that you’re ready to keep future replacement drives operating optimally.
