I previously made an all-white themed PC build for myself, which turned out amazing and clean. Of course, my girlfriend kept looking at my build and now wants one for herself. So, I decided to surprise her with an upgrade from her aging Intel 11th Gen to a shiny new AM5 build in pure white. I decided to go with an ASUS motherboard this time, opting for the TUF Gaming x870-Pro WiFi 7 W Neo to complement the other white components. Pros: - Clean all-white Aesthetic. - Tool-free M.2 access for the PCIe 5.0 slot. - Easy GPU Release. Cons: - Price of the White version of the same board is more expensive. - 2x USB4 (USB-C 40Gbps) slots share bandwidth with M.2_2 slot. - 2nd PCIE slot shares bandwidth with M.2_4 slot. - Only 2 SATA ports for SSD/HDD. Out of the Box: The ASUS TUF Gaming x870-Pro WiFi 7 W NEO has a clean all-white aesthetic, with all the heatsinks, headers and even the PCB being all white. This really makes the all-white theme look amazing when matching an all-white CPU Cooler, RAM, and GPU with it. Unfortunately, ASUS does tend to charge a higher premium on their white versions of the same board, usually about 30% more than the non-white versions. But sometimes it is worth paying for the look. Included in the box is the Motherboard, 2x SATA cables, Antenna, 2x M.2 Rubber Spacers, Screw for M.2, and of course some bonus stickers! Setup: I’ve got a lot of experience with building and servicing PC’s, from past lessons, I always start my builds with a bench build outside of the case to ensure everything works before spending all the time putting the parts into the case to find out something doesn’t work. This build was no different, and again I had zero problems during the build and install of windows. My build consisted of the ASUS ASUS - TUF Gaming X870-PRO motherboard, AMD Ryzen 9 9900x for CPU, Crucial 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6400MT/S for RAM, XFX AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Swift White for GPU (AMD is reasonably priced compared to Nvidia right now), and a Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB for the primary drive. I’ve previously tested all the parts for this build, so I knew going into it that none of these would be an issue. After getting everything installed (CPU, RAM, CPU Cooler, SSD), I booted up the PC on my desk using a screwdriver to jump the pins for the front panel. I would love to see ASUS add power and reset buttons to the motherboard, as this would be more convenient for setup and troubleshooting but the power pin jumping always works as well. I entered BIOS to check that EXPO (what overclocks the RAM to advertised speeds) and enable Resizable Bar. After ensuring those settings, I saved and exited to begin the windows setup. Windows installed without issue, restoring the settings from my girlfriend’s current PC to this one in the process. We did have to reinstall the apps and games, but all the files and Windows settings came over without issue. Specs: The ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi 7 W Neo supports the AMD AM5 socket, with support out of the box for the 9000, 8000, and 7000 series desktop processors. Ideally, for an X870 chipset, you’d want to pair a Ryzen 7 or 9 to take full advantage of the available features. A Ryzen 5 could be a good option if you’re on a budget and want to upgrade in the future but check whether your chosen CPU supports PCIe 5.0 or not, before buying your SSD to avoid overpaying for performance you cannot use. For RAM, ASUS provides sky high levels of overclocking if you want to manually adjust the timings. But for the average gamer, pretty much any DDR5 kit you pick up will be compatible with this board. The board supports XMP/EXPO/AEMP overclocking profiles, which is what most of you will use. The only time this might not work is if you try to mix and match RAM kits, keep in mind that a KIT is only what you get in a single pack off the shelf. Just because the RAM is the same make and model, there is a high chance the chips or controller on the RAM is different which will make hitting those advertised speeds with 2 kits of 2xRAM a bit of a challenge. Luckily, ASUS does provide enhanced RAM optimizing features in the BIOS such as ASUS AEMP, NitroPath, and DIMM Fit / DIMM Fit Pro that can help you stabilize your RAM to their highest stable speeds. One of the bigger downsides is that there are only 2 PCIe ports; 1x PCIe 5.0 and 1x PCIe 4.0. This shouldn’t be a massive downside for most users as the primary use for a PCIe slot is the graphics card, and you only need 1 these days. The PCIe 5.0 slot has an easy release lever, that makes removing the GPU much easier than the standard push tab, which can be a challenge to reach between a large CPU Cooler and GPU. For wireless, ASUS included WiFi 7 which is the newest available WiFi Standard that supports 160MHz bandwidth. Though this will require your router to also support the WiFi 7 standard, otherwise it will default to the lower standard. Additionally built into the WiFi card is Bluetooth 5.4. Software: ASUS always has had several applications to support their hardware. The primary one used to monitor, configure, and update the motherboard is Armoury Crate. For what it’s worth, it is easy to use and manages all the drivers and BIOS updates for the motherboard. I always install it initially, to update all the drivers and BIOS, then uninstall it afterwards and manage the updates manually from ASUS website. ASUS also provides a host of AI tools, that are supposed to help you work with AI along with optimizing your system. The AI Cache Boost would be something good to try out if you’re using local LLM’s, as it is supposed to deliver faster access to the CPU memory Cache. Additionally, there are multiple “AI” tools available that help optimize your Overclocking, Cooling, and Networking if you have issues managing those. Though, I tend to find setting these on simple curves/limits works the best as then you’re not letting someone or something else run your setup. Ports & Connections: For ports, the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi 7 W Neo has on the back I/O Panel: - 2x USB4 (40Gbps) USB-C (shares bandwidth with the M.2_2 slot) - 3x USB-A 10Gbps - 4x USB-A 5Gbps - USB-A 2.0 - HDMI 2.0 - 5Gb Ethernet - 3x Audio Jacks (Mic In, Line Out, Line In) - WiFi Antenna Plugs - BIOS FlashBack Button - CMOS Clear Button (clears the BIOS settings) There are plenty of ports on the back panel for most gamers, though if you stream often and use an external capture card or multiple additional devices, you might want to consider the scenarios where the ports have to share bandwidth with the M.2 Ports (more details below in Storage Options). I always appreciate having a BIOS FlashBack and Clear button on the back of the I/O panel, as it has become more common to have to deal with BIOS version issues or rollbacks to address ongoing stability issues. Anything that makes that process easier to do is a huge plus to me. Additionally, ASUS has included the following internal port headers: - 3x CPU Cooler 4-pin (CPU Fan-Required, CPU Opt Fan, AIO Pump) - 4x Chassis Fan 4-Pin - 1x Water Pump - 4x M.2 Slots - 2x SATA 6Gb/s - USB 20Gbps (Typically for front panel) - USB 5Gbps supporting 2 additional USB-A ports - 3x USB 2.0 (1 more than commonly included) - 3x RGB Gen 2 Storage Options: For storage options, the TUF Gaming X870-Pro has 4x M.2 Slots and 2x SATA 6Gb/s ports. The M.2 slots are split in performance between M.2_1 & M.2_2 supporting PCIe 5.0x4 and M.2_3 & M.2_4 supporting PCIe 4.0x4 when using a Ryzen 9000 or 7000 series CPU. But there is a big caveat, that 2 of the M.2 slots share bandwidth with other ports on the Motherboard. M.2_2 shares bandwidth with the 2x USB4 (USB-C 40Gbps) ports on the back panel, which reduces the effective speed of both the USB and M.2 slot to PCIe 4.0 x2 when the M.2 slot is populated. You can switch the M.2 slot back to x4 mode in BIOS but that will disable the 2 USB4 ports. Additionally, the M.2_4 slot shares bandwidth with the 2nd PCIEx16 (G4), splitting the bandwidth similarly between the two ports. Again, this can be adjusted in BIOS but can be a hassle for future upgrades to storage. With only 2 SATA ports, additional SATA storage is limited to two additional drives. Luckily, the SATA ports are not disabled when all the M.2 ports are populated, as is a common design for other motherboards. This shouldn’t be much of a concern for most users, as most likely they will be looking to upgrade by the time they reach a point where two additional SSD/HDD of 4TB+ are filled up. Plus, with options for external device storage available, it’s become less common to have multiple HDD for backups. Conclusion: If you’re looking for an All-White Motherboard that has a clean and fresh look, with plenty of features including RAM Overclocking and PCIe 5.0, then the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi 7 W Neo is worth looking at. The biggest downside is the MSRP being above that of the non-white version but grabbing it on a sale can solve that come the holiday season. Overall, I really like the look and features ASUS included and will be adding it to my recommend list of boards for All-White builds.

I came to the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 W Neo with an unusually close point of comparison: I already use the black X870-Plus WiFi in another system. That board has served as a strong foundation, and the new Pro version follows much of the same formula rather than attempting to replace it with something radically different. That is not a criticism of how this board is equipped. ASUS started with an already mature X870 design and refined it with faster wired networking, updated memory support, more thoughtful PCIe lane allocation, several welcome maintenance features, and a dramatically different appearance. For someone building a new AM5 system today, those changes make this the more polished of the two boards. The white design is naturally the first thing that stands out. This is not a black motherboard with a couple of silver covers added as an afterthought. The light PCB, substantial silver and white heatsinks, matching I/O shroud, and restrained TUF graphics give it a cohesive appearance. White components often vary enough in tone to look mismatched when assembled, but this board provides a strong visual anchor around which the rest of a build can be coordinated. Appearance alone may not justify rebuilding an existing computer, but it can absolutely influence which motherboard someone chooses when starting from scratch. Underneath that finish is a thoroughly equipped AM5 platform. ASUS lists support for Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000-series processors, backed by a 16+2+1 arrangement of 80-amp power stages. Four DDR5 slots support up to 256GB, while NitroPath memory technology, DIMM Fit, and ASUS’s memory-profile tools provide additional flexibility for builders interested in faster memory configurations. As always, achievable memory speeds will depend heavily on the processor, memory kit, and number of modules installed. Storage remains centered on M.2 drives. There are four M.2 slots in total, including two PCIe 5.0 slots and two PCIe 4.0 slots, with heatsink coverage for three of them. Only two SATA ports are provided. That would have felt restrictive to me several years ago, but it now seems more like a compatibility consideration than a major design flaw. A new system can easily be built entirely around M.2 storage, although anyone transferring several older SATA drives should plan accordingly. One of the quieter improvements is the way the board distributes its PCIe lanes. On the earlier X870-Plus, using the second CPU-connected M.2 slot reduced the primary graphics slot from x16 to x8. The Pro shifts that tradeoff away from the graphics slot: the second PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot instead shares bandwidth with the USB4 controller. It operates at x2 while USB4 remains available or can be changed to x4 in the BIOS at the cost of disabling the USB4 ports. There is still a compromise, but I prefer having that choice without automatically reducing the primary GPU connection. Anyone planning to populate every expansion and M.2 slot should still study the lane-sharing table in the manual. Connectivity is another strong point. The wired network connection has been upgraded from 2.5Gb to 5Gb Ethernet, while Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 cover wireless duties. The rear panel provides ten USB ports, including two 40Gbps USB4 Type-C connections. Internally, there is a 20Gbps front Type-C connector with up to 30-watt Power Delivery and three USB 2.0 headers. That third internal USB header is easy to overlook, but it can be genuinely useful once an AIO controller, lighting hub, and other internal accessories begin competing for connections. ASUS also continues to do a good job with the physical details that make building and maintaining a system less aggravating. The primary M.2 heatsink can be released without fighting a tiny screw, the SSDs use Q-Latches, and the primary PCIe slot has a release mechanism that is much easier to reach around a large graphics card. Diagnostic Q-LEDs help narrow down startup problems, while BIOS FlashBack and a dedicated Clear CMOS button are both accessible from the rear panel. These are not glamorous specifications, but they are often the features a builder appreciates most when something needs to be installed, changed, or troubleshot later. The honest limitation is that this is a refinement of an existing platform, not a compelling reason for most current X870 owners to tear apart a working computer. Much of its underlying capability will feel familiar to anyone who already has a well-equipped AM5 motherboard. Its case is considerably stronger for someone assembling a new system, especially a white one, or someone who can directly benefit from 5Gb Ethernet, the revised lane arrangement, and the additional serviceability features. ASUS has not reinvented X870 here. It has taken an already capable design and finished the idea more cleanly. The result may not be an essential upgrade from the X870-Plus, but between the two, this is the board I would choose for a new build.

I’ve been using an ASUS motherboard in my primary desktop for about three and a half years, so moving to another ASUS board was a pretty easy decision for me. My previous board is an ASUS PRIME Z790-P WIFI paired with an Intel Core i9-14900KF, and aside from the occasional annoyance with Armoury Crate wanting to install itself and failing on each reboot (which can be disabled in the BIOS), that board has been rock solid. I decided to use the TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO as an opportunity to make the jump from Intel to AMD and do a completely fresh Windows installation at the same time. I temporarily swapped it into my existing chassis and paired it with 64GB of T-Force DDR5 memory, an RTX 4090, a Crucial PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD, and my existing 1000-watt power supply. The resulting system is an absolute beast and, admittedly, probably complete overkill for most of what I actually do with it. Everything was incredibly fast and the system was completely stable during the time I had it assembled. It’s difficult for me to push the performance increase specifically to the motherboard because I changed the processor and moved to a much faster PCIe 5.0 SSD at the same time, but the entire platform upgrade has been substantial. What surprised me most is just how much motherboard technology has moved forward in only about three and a half years. My previous ASUS board certainly isn’t ancient, and it was a very capable board when I built that system, but there are some significant differences between the two generations. My previous board has three M.2 slots that top out at PCIe 4.0, while this one gives me four M.2 slots, including two that support PCIe 5.0. That was particularly useful for this build because I was actually able to take advantage of PCIe 5.0 with the new Crucial NVMe drive. Connectivity has taken a pretty substantial step forward as well. I’m going from 2.5Gb Ethernet to 5Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 7, plus this board has two 40Gbps USB4 Type-C ports, which I’ve been desperately missing. Memory support has gotten a little crazy too. This board supports up to 256GB of DDR5, along with some extremely high memory speeds depending on the processor and configuration. I’m currently using 64GB, which in today’s world cost more than the motherboard, and handles almost everything I throw at my computer. I don’t see myself approaching that 256GB maximum anytime soon, but it’s nice to have the option. There are also a number of smaller quality-of-life improvements that don’t necessarily jump out at you on a specification sheet but are really nice when you’re actually building the computer. Things like the tool-free M.2 installation, easier PCIe release, rear Clear CMOS button, and BIOS FlashBack. I love the flashback, it can be a lifesaver in a pinch if you are having processor issues, which I did on my original Asus, as I was lucky enough to get one of the infamous i9 13 gen processors that degraded. Installation itself went smoothly, and moving over to AMD has been a very positive experience so far. I also really like the white design of this particular board. My case has a clear side panel, and this is one of those motherboards that actually looks good enough that I want to be able to see it. My only real limitation with using this was that I currently only have one chassis available. After getting the new system up and running and spending some time with it, I needed to pull everything back out and return to my existing Intel setup and Windows installation so I could get into my old hard drive and run some some do my local scheduled APIs and scripts. I have another case on the way, and once it arrives this motherboard and AMD processor will become their own permanent system. Overall, I’ve been extremely happy with the TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO. Installation was straightforward, stability was excellent, and the jump from my previous platform was considerably more substantial than I expected. I went with the Corsair extreme performance thermal paste as well. The new board plus the move to AMD, gives me a platform with plenty of room to grow for years to come.

If youre planning on being a high end gaming PC this I think you should deffinetly check out ASUS TUF Gaming X870 Pro. Supports PCle 5.0, Four M.2 slots, Wifi7, 5Gb enternet, USB4 and the look that you love coming from TUF gaming, with great connectivity and easy installion I would say this motherboard is perfect for your high end build. DEVICE & FEATURES: What I have here is X870 Pro with AM5 socket that support AMD Ryzen 7000 all the way to current 9000 series. 16+2+1 power design VRM with 80A stages. ASUS also gives the VRMs large heatsinks that’s perfect for crazy temperatures to keep them under control during demanding gaming or work sessions. I just love how it has four M.2 slots, wit two of them supporting PCle 5.0 x4 and two PCle 4.0, that’s a lot of head room for multiple NVME drives, I had 3 so now I have another slot to fill up for more space and I love it. ASUS TUF also equipped this with WIFI 7 and 5Gb ethernet, it’s a modern MOBO so it requires Modern features. Theres multiple USB plug in a the rear ranging from USB4 40Gps Type C ports and USB with 10Gbps and 5Gbps ports. This comes with ASUS Q design including M.2 Q release, Q latch, PCle Slot Q release, Q antenna, BIOS Flashback and Clear CMOS button, which make installing and upgrading hardware easier. EXPERIENCE: So far I just feel like this board is deffinetly design with long gaming sessions in mind. The Board feels balance, the power delivery is more than capable for you build. My favorite thing about this board is having more access for M.2 slots which I think it’s a major advantage. Its future proof with having two PCle 5.0. the bad thing the second PCle 5.0 M.2 slot is a shared bandwidth with the rear USB4, so this really going to depends the way you configure the BIOS, so if you use the full x4 bandwith it can disable the rear USB4 ports. Honestly is not a huge issue if youre not planning on plugging tons of things at back but this issue does not effect my experience. Performance wise X870 Pro has no problem pairing with my 9800X3D CPU, also they have redesign the BIOS experience for user it was needed a refresh and thank god that ASUS made it cleaner and just easier to navigate to. Audio is also better than what youd normaly expect from a basic motherboard. What we have here is ASUS decided to use Realtek ALC1220P codec. With 120 dB stereo line-out SNR and impedance sensing for headphones. This hands down the best high end motherboard I have ever owned. CONCLUSION: ASUS TUF GAMING X870 PRO is one excellent Motherboard to consider, its high end it has the power you will need to handle demanding Ryzen CPU, plenty of M.2 storage and ports, Wifi 7, 5Gb ethernet, good onboard audio and just a solid feature that someone with high end PC build is looking for. Not much negative thing I could say about this motherboard, it supports AM5 in long term everything im looking is here plus more. I just feel like it’s a well balance motherboard to own.

I've been building gaming PCs for 32 years and have a significant amount of experience with different boards, manufacturers and capabilities. Asus has always been on the top of that stack and this board is no different. Packaging: To start, it comes with the board, some documentation, a couple SATA cables, some screws, the antennas for WIFI and some sticker, nothing particularly standout-ish here, although the significant portion of the manual is online, which I always find challenging since if you're building a PC you dont always have access to the internet (why else are you building the PC?). The ability to have a quick-reference manual for header information and PCIE shared port information is always nice... but I digress, all the companies are doing it and this is just my opinion. Use: Some quick notes here. The board only has 2x SATA ports and since this is an X870 and not an X870E chipset, it has fewer PCIE lanes so if you use your USB 40GB port you lose some of your connectivity (unlike other X870 boards this one only gives up lanes if you use your USB4 (thunderbolt) port ) The BIOS has extensive customization options across all settings which is great if you need them, overlock, and/or know what you're doing. I appreciate that the board is white, it's rare to see a solid high-end white board. As far as use once booted, it's been solid, I upgraded the BIOS to the latest and I've had zero issues, in fact I had upgraded a previous machine to this board and the stability issues I had previously experienced have all gone away. Overall: If you're in the market for a high end board, dont need the extra connectivity of the X870E but want all of the latest tech then this is the ticket, it has a unique white look, Aura sync for LED and PCIE5/USB4thunderbolt connectivity. It's well worth it.

The ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PRO is a great upgrade of a motherboard designed for AMD AM5 platform that performs amazingly great. It offers great performance and also durability, made for both personal and professionals. And when it comes to my needs, it exceeds my wants as well as my needs because I edit videos and photos. Starting with the AMD X870 Chipset that provides plenty of power and supportsup to 256GB of DDR5 memory with speeds up to 9600 MT/s when overclocked. It also includes expansion slots that i do need since i do plenty of editing and having external drives is a must. I really like its connectivity including Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7, and different USB ports for reliable connectivity. This motherboard looks and feels premium, build to last for many years to come. And once I've added fans and memory with RGB it looks even better. I think that this motherboard will last me more than enough, it offers everything I want and need. It also offers a superior features and it looks great. It is also ready for advanced AI tuning technologies. Everyone compliments on my build with this amazing motherboard as a starting point.

I previously just built a PC so swapping out the Mother was straight forward. I have a nice glass tower and have an AMD Ryzen 5 - 9600 - 6 core processor to install in this ASUS - TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO (Socket AM5) AMD X870 ATX DDR5 Wi-Fi 7 Motherboard - White Out of the box the Asus TUF was nicely packed. No damage from shipper. I swapped out the CPU and then landing the board on the ATX Tower no issues. Since I had a previous Asus mother the mounts were identical. Previously on my first motherboard install I ran into a few challenges with plugging everything in because the tower I had blocked several of the pin connectors for fans and RGB lighting as the bottom. So this time no issues. After that I buttoned up the tower fired it up and had to reconfigure CPU with boot sequence. I ran with a strix video graphics card. I then let my kid play his games and then I took over and played my harder graphics game. It held up just fine. I would recommend this product if you are in the market to build a PC on your own. Note. It will cost you a a bit more depending on your build but if that is a hobby or a want this is the way to go for sure..

I have been looking for an excuse to build another desktop computer for us to have here at home in order to cut down on our usage of “cloud” products. And getting this motherboard was the perfect opportunity to do just that. That said I am sick of all of these companies slapping the the acronym/initials/word AI on everything. It’s sad to say that ASUS has started to do it too. It doesn’t make the motherboard a bad motherboard, it just irks me to no end because everything is now AI when doe instance it was just called ASUS overlocking or ASUS cooling in the past. Anyway, rant over. Initial Impressions Upon unboxing the motherboard, I noticed how beautiful the board itself looks. I love the color scheme, and I love the layout. It is really good-looking, and it's going to look absolutely amazing, I thought to myself. My significant other and my adulf kids thought the same thing. for one of my son's birthday last year, I had helped him to upgrade his amd gaming pc using a competitor's x870 motherboard. While they called that one "white," it was actually more silver and I'm happy to say that this one is indeed truly white, at least to my eyes, and as I said, looks absolutely gorgeous. Installation I've been building computers for over 30 years now, so installation of the motherboard into the computer case was a breeze. It was extremely easy, just like any other board, but it looks absolutely amazing in the case. I am over the moon happy. The included latches or quick releases for the GPU and the M.2 slots are a welcome addition. Being able to easily install and even remove them is great. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen on Reddit that people completely mangle the PCI-E slot or their M.2 slot, or even their M.2 NVMe itself, by trying to force it out. I do not believe that will happen with this board. So hopefully some of those people that tend to do that will get a motherboard such as this with its reinforced PCIE slots, latches and levers to make things easier to remove, etc. And so, I was able to install my AMD 7900 XTX GPU, as well as my three M.2 NVME drives, and was able to boot into Windows within 30 minutes of opening the motherboard packaging. It does help that I had my CPU, the RAM, and all that already disassembled and set aside ready to install. But yeah, it was super easy. While I did install the 7900 XTX and the the 3 M.2 NVME drives, I will ultimately be moving most of those back to my gaming computer once I’ve purchased a couple high VRAM having GPUs to go in this machine to run some local AI Agents and local LLMs. I know it's a little crazy that I just mentioned running AI after complaining about AI previously, but there's a big difference between companies trying to shove AI down our throats and my/our needing to run AI for work purposes. I'm sure most people will understand that. Everyday Usage Because my work laptop, which is a MacBook, stopped working in that it will no longer let me log in to Mac OS anymore after an update a few months ago, I've been using personal laptops and desktops to work from home. I recently upgraded my gaming desktop to 64 GB of DDR5, so I had 32 GB of DDR5 lying around, which I threw into this motherboard. While it may not seem like a lot, it's been enough for what I am using this for right now. There are times I might need more RAM, and I'll look doing just at that when the "RAM apocalypse" is over. For everyday usage of the system, browsing the web, working from home, and playing some games, it did well…exceptionally well really. And it ran cooler than the i9 13900k I have in my gaming desktop . Of course, that thing is a beast, so most things would run cooler than it, but still, the fact that it can run cooler is wonderful compared to the sauna that is my gaming desktop. Final Thoughs So, I'm going to wrap this up. What do I think of this ASUS X870 ATX motherboard? I think it's absolutely phenomenal. I think it will serve me well for years and years to come. It's going to be right at home becoming a server here at the house…well, I should say another server because we already have multiple. I'm actually going to be looking at building another computer for my other son, and I will probably look to get another one of these ASUS X870 motherboards in order to do just that. That's how happy I am with it. And I think you will be too!

SETUP The setup was pretty simple, but if you build computers, it is basically plug-and-play with the components. The boot-up process was successful, and the BIOS update was about as simple as you can get nowadays. It is tough to grade setup because prior building experience makes this much easier than it would be for a first-time PC builder. For someone who has built PCs before, the board is easy enough to work with. For a beginner, there are still a lot of headers, connections, slots, and BIOS settings to understand. Overall, the setup went smoothly and did not create unnecessary issues. BUILD The white design is awesome and goes perfectly with the white theme I wanted. I appreciate the detail in the heatsinks, heat shields, and logo being white to match the board. It gives the build a cleaner and more premium look. The board does not display any flex when handled, and it feels as sturdy as most premium boards. The heatsinks feel solid, the reinforced areas feel well made, and nothing about the board feels cheap. It feels like a premium board in all aspects. The design, weight, layout, and overall finish make it feel like something built for a higher-end gaming setup. BIOS The BIOS was pretty easy to use, and the AI-assisted features make it more convenient to optimize settings without having to manually adjust everything yourself. The board includes AI Cache Boost, ASUS AI Advisor, AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, and AI Networking II. These tools make it easier to adjust performance, cooling, and network settings without needing to be an expert in every part of the BIOS. I like that ASUS gives you the option to tinker if you want, but also makes the process approachable if you want the system to help optimize itself. It made it easy to dial in settings and performance without feeling overly complicated. PERFORMANCE I experienced stable performance, but a lot of that also comes from using quality parts and properly handling the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage during installation. If you handle those parts responsibly and install everything correctly, the board gives you a solid foundation. My system booted successfully, updated properly, and has had stable and efficient performance since day one. The board supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series AM5 processors, DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, and enough modern features to make it feel ready for current and future builds. It feels fast, responsive, and reliable in normal use and gaming. CONNECTIVITY The Bluetooth connection has been stable. Even when using headphones and walking away from the PC, I did not experience signal loss. The Wi-Fi 7 is also very fast, and fortunately my Wi-Fi hub/modem supports those speeds, so I can take advantage of the newer wireless standard. This is one of those features that makes the board feel more future-ready, especially as more routers and devices move toward Wi-Fi 7. STORAGE There is plenty of room for storage expansion. The board supports multiple M.2 drives, including two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, which gives you flexibility for fast storage now and future upgrades later. You do have to pay attention to bandwidth sharing depending on what slots and ports you use. According to ASUS, the PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot and the two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots can run at full bandwidth when the USB4 40Gbps ports are not in use. Also, the PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slot shares bandwidth with the M.2_4 slot. That is not a dealbreaker, but it is something you should know before installing multiple drives or expansion cards. If you are building a higher-end PC, it is worth checking the manual so you use the right slots for your setup. SOFTWARE Armoury Crate was not difficult to use. I routinely use it to update software, adjust settings, synchronize RGB devices, and tinker with AI boost options. I know some people do not like motherboard software, but for me, Armoury Crate has been useful enough. It gives you a central place to manage updates and settings without having to search around for every driver or utility separately. It is not perfect, but it does what I need it to do. NEGATIVE I have been fortunate enough not to encounter a real negative with this board. My PC boots up, updates properly, and has had very stable and efficient performance since day one. If I had to point out one thing, it would be that a board with this many features can be a little overwhelming for a first-time builder. There are a lot of options, AI tools, slots, and settings to understand. Take your time and read the manual if you are new to building PCs. OVERALL This is a great motherboard for a PC enthusiast who wants the latest tech, a clean white design, and room for future upgrades. I would recommend it to someone building a higher-end AM5 gaming PC who wants a stable board with latest technology and future upgrade flexibility. It may be more than a first-time builder needs, but for someone who wants a board that looks great, performs well, and has plenty of room to grow, this is a strong option.

I installed the ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO as the foundation for my latest PC build, and after completing the build and spending time with the finished system, this motherboard has been one of the components I’m happiest with. My build uses a Ryzen 9 7900X, 64GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5, an ASUS TUF RTX 5070 OC 12GB, Corsair 360mm liquid cooling, and multiple WD NVMe drives. I wanted a motherboard that could comfortably handle those components without boxing me in when it comes time to upgrade, and the X870-PRO has been a great fit. The first thing that stands out is the appearance. The white and silver design looks much better in person than I expected. It isn’t completely white, which I actually prefer because it blends well with both white and black components. In a case with a glass side panel, it gives the build a clean look without making everything feel overly matched. Installation was also one of the better experiences I’ve had with a motherboard. ASUS put some thought into the little things that become important once you actually start building. The M.2 Q-Latch and Q-Release features are genuinely useful when installing SSDs, and the PCIe Slot Q-Release makes dealing with a large graphics card much less frustrating. With a 360mm AIO, multiple fans, RGB and several other connections going into the system, I also appreciated having a good selection of headers available. Storage expansion is excellent. There are four M.2 slots, including two PCIe 5.0 x4 slots and two PCIe 4.0 x4 slots. I’m currently using my WD NVMe drives, but having that additional capacity means I can expand storage later without immediately having to rethink the build. The connectivity was another big reason this board made sense for me. It has Wi-Fi 7, 5Gb Ethernet and two rear USB4 40Gbps Type-C ports, along with plenty of additional USB connectivity. There’s also a front USB-C 20Gbps connection with up to 30W Power Delivery support. That’s the type of feature set I wanted because I plan on keeping this build for a while rather than replacing the motherboard every time I upgrade another component. The BIOS has a lot available without making basic setup unnecessarily difficult. ASUS includes BIOS FlashBack and Clear CMOS buttons on the rear I/O, which are two features I would rather have and never need than wish I had when troubleshooting. There is also plenty here for someone who wants to get deeper into memory tuning, cooling or overclocking later. Power delivery is another area where this board is considerably more capable than what my Ryzen 9 7900X actually requires. It uses a 16+2+1 design with 80A power stages and substantial VRM cooling. For me, that extra capacity is less about trying to push the 7900X to its limit and more about having a motherboard that shouldn’t become the limiting factor if I eventually move to a newer, higher-end AM5 processor. One thing I would tell anyone considering this board is to look at the PCIe lane configuration before filling every expansion and M.2 slot. With a board this expandable, how bandwidth is allocated can change depending on which slots and high-speed features you’re using. It isn’t something that has taken away from my experience, but it is worth planning your storage and expansion layout instead of assuming every slot can always operate at maximum bandwidth simultaneously. After completing the build, what I like most is that I really don’t have to think about the motherboard anymore. Everything I wanted is there: strong power delivery, DDR5, PCIe 5.0 graphics support, plenty of NVMe expansion, Wi-Fi 7, 5Gb Ethernet, USB4 and enough cooling and fan connectivity for a fairly elaborate build. It also leaves me considerably more upgrade room than I need today. This isn’t the motherboard I would recommend to someone putting together a basic or budget PC because they would be paying for features they may never use. For a higher-end AM5 build, though, especially one with multiple NVMe drives, a powerful GPU and plans for future upgrades, I think the X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO makes a lot of sense. After building my system around it and using the completed PC, I’d choose this board again.

Asus has another solid motherboard update with the TUF X879-Pro Neo, featuring better ram support, plenty of connectivity, Wifi 7 and 5gig networking, and updated power delivery. Unboxing this board was straight forward with the antenna, a couple of SATA cables, spare m.2 hardware, and some gamer stickers included as accessories. It is in a beautiful white colorway, the TUF series doesn't have a lot of RGB on the board itself but offers plenty of connectivity for your accessories. Actually the only RGB on the board is a small portion of the right hand edge of the motherboard, with a total of 3 ARGB headers for whatever else you want to add. Working with this motherboard is very easy using the ASUS quick release covers for the m.2 slots, and has a easily accessible release for even the largest GPUs. This board is feature packed has been performing solid and stable, supporting AMD 7000/8000/9000 series CPUs. Updated layout for the RAM traces and BIOS compatibility allows this board to have native support for DDR5 at 8000 MT/s, and higher, depending on your CPU. I didn't have anything that crazy, but had no issues booting with my 6400 MT/s CL32 GSkill RAM. You get PCI 5.0 for your GPU and your first NVMe drive, if you are using a second it will either run at 2x or you will sacrifice speed on your USB-C 40Gbps ports. The chipset gives you an additional 16x PCI-e gen 4 slot, and a ton of connectvity with a total of 10 various USB ports on the back alone, excluding front panel connectivity. Featuring the latest and greatest Wifi7, a 5GB network port, and solid out of the box integrated audio this is a solid all around package. Overclocking support is quite good beyond just enabling XMP in the BIOS. The power delivery is a 16+2+1 design 80A power stages which allows for plenty of overclocking headroom on pretty much every chip that is supported. I am running some pretty standard overclock settings with EXPO enabled for the RAM and PBO setup with a -25 curve and +200 boost threshold with a standard AIO for cooling. If you want to get more fancy, you can dive into ASUS Asynchronous clocking which allows you to continue to increase the BCLK for the CPU cores while maintaining stability with your memory and other components. Memory support seems good, with the current state of RAM I didn't have anything super high speed to test but booted a pretty good kit of GSkill 6400 CL32 DDR5. The BIOS is a dream to navigate in my opinion but ASUS is my preferred motherboard brand so I am pretty familiar with their layout. Overall if you are looking for a motherboard for a white theme build this is a great option that will provide stable performance, higher end X870 chipset, and wide support for memory this is a great foundation to build with. You'll find this board easy to build with and isn't lacking any features your average or even above average users would want.

I built a new gaming PC for myself about a week ago, mostly because my old rig couldn't keep up anymore and I wanted something that would last a while without needing to be gutted and rebuilt every year. I went with the ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Pro WiFi7 W Neo in white, paired with a Ryzen 7 7700X. I am not the guy who chases the newest and shiniest thing just to have it. I wanted something solid, easy to work with, and future proof enough that I am not back in this position in eighteen months. First impressions were good. The board looks sharp right out of the box. The white and silver color scheme is clean and it actually matches the rest of my build instead of fighting with it. I have had boards before that looked fine in photos and then clashed with everything once installed. This one did not do that. If you are building in a case with a glass panel, this board earns its keep just sitting there looking good, which matters more to me than I expected going in. A week in, the day to day use has been smooth. Setup was straightforward for someone who has built a few PCs but is not doing this for a living. The board recognized my drives right away and BIOS navigation was not a headache, which I appreciate since I do not enjoy digging through menus at eleven at night trying to get memory timings right. Everything just worked the way it was supposed to, which is really all I am asking for at this stage of life. The four M.2 slots are the real standout for me. I am someone who ends up needing more storage than I planned for, so having that much room to grow without buying an add in card is a relief. I added two drives right away and know I have room for two more down the line whenever I need them. It makes the board feel expandable in a way that actually matters instead of just being a spec sheet number that never gets used. WiFi 7 has been the other big win. My internet speeds at home went up noticeably once I paired this with a WiFi 7 router. That part matters though, because if your router is still on WiFi 6 or older you will not see the benefit. I had to upgrade my router at the same time to actually take advantage of it, so budget for that if you go this route. Once both pieces were in place, the connection has been fast and steady, no dropouts so far, even with a few devices pulling on the network at once. The one thing I am not crazy about is how much the TUF branding shows up on the board itself. It is stamped across the heatsinks and printed in a few spots that feel like more than necessary. It does not affect performance at all, it is just a personal preference thing. I would rather the design lean a little more understated, especially since the rest of the board already looks good without needing to remind you what it is called every few inches. Overall, after a week, I am happy with this choice. It handles day to day use without any hiccups, the storage options give me real room to grow, and the WiFi 7 support is a legitimate upgrade if your network can keep up with it. I would recommend this to anyone building a clean looking, expandable AM5 system who wants a board that will hold up for the next several years without having to think about it again.

I have built many custom PCs over the years, majority with ASUS motherboards and plenty of overclocking. This ASUS - TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO (Socket AM5) AMD X870 ATX DDR5 Wi-Fi 7 Motherboard - White is a very well engineered and excellent build. It is using an eight-layer server class PCB for stable performance when pushed to the limits of today’s demanding games and compute. My current setup is very stable, runs cool and quiet also thanks to a MAG Coreliquid 240 White liquid cooled radiator and fans that I reused from my previous system. I invested in the AMD Ryzen 9 9950x3d that should be good for a few years of high performance gaming and everything else I throw at it. I had to re-purpose a year old NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti for now until I can afford an RTX 5090, but so far everything I run on this setup is flawless. This motherboard has a crazy number of internal and external ports that will satisfy any gamer, power user or peripheral lover alike. It also has the latest PCI 5.0 slots, two of the latest gen5 M.2 NVMe slots as well as 2 PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots. External connectivity is in abundance with USB4 as in 40Gbps ports, in addition to 20 Gbps USB Type-C connector with 30W fast-charging capabilities, and the three classic USB 2.0 connectors. As for network connectivity, it has a built-in 5 Gb Ethernet, but unfortunately I only have a 2Gb fiber Internet connection and my network switch is only 2.5 Gb, so I can’t test it to its full potential. Wi-Fi 7 comes with a pre-installed driver so you can easily install Windows and get on the network before you have to download more drivers. The Asus external Wi-Fi Q-Antenna has a nice magnetic touch, and will guarantee much better reception since you can position it on top of the case or a less obstructive location. Tons of USB ports of various versions built-in to the back panel I/O, and internal headers for case ports: 2 x USB-C 4, 1 x USB-C 3.2, 7 x USB-A 3.2, 1 x USB-A 2.0, 1 x USB-C 4 2.0. Modern UEFI BIOS with tons of tweaking/overclocking features ASUS is well known for and last but not least a feature I have not seen on any other motherboard yet - Clear CMOS and BIOS Flashback little buttons to easily get you out of an Overclocking bind without having to open the case to jumper pins to reset your faulty/too aggressive settings. The VRM power distribution and filtering is top-notch with 16(80A)+2(80A)+1(80A) SPS power stage, 8-layer PCB, 8+8 pin ProCool power connectors for stable power delivery. Nowadays, everything must have some sort of AI built-in or support future AI functionality. This Asus TUF Gaming X870-Pro is no exception. A number of AI features are built-in to the massive 64 MB BIOS to enhance Overclocking, Cooling and Networking performance. And speaking of overclocking, with the right specialized memory this Asus motherboard can push the memory up to 9,600 MT/s. Overall, I’m really excited about this Asus TUF Gaming X870-Pro Wi-FI 7 motherboard and the limitless capabilities it offers for years to come, not to mention it comes with a 3-year warranty - a testament to ASUS quality and confidence in their products.

TLDR; It’s a rough time to be building a system given the market, but boards are one of the few components that have not completely shot up in price yet, and this is a nice choice to do some selective upgrades with (or a new build with if you are in that position). To get it out of the way at the start, the TUF branding has never been my favorite aesthetically. I know it is sort of the point, but it is a bit “gamery” and “in your face” for me. Always has been. Further, while I really think the white looks minimal, clean, and honestly fantastic, I will always prefer plain and blacked out. I suppose some would say boring. I also simply do not have white components to match with it. It’s a personal thing. This is a nice-looking board, just not perfect for me. All of that said, I have always been impressed with the build quality and performance of the TUF line, across the board and specifically with motherboards. Here, it is much the same. The board is very well built (sturdy, put together well, concern for thermals (VRM, M.2, capacitors)), nicely spaced out, and designed well. I think it is very easy to build with and user friendly with quick releases and toolless access everywhere and plentiful fan headers. On the software side as well, with a clear CMOS button and easy to work with and update BIOS. All in all, I am happy and you can tell there was some consideration put into this board. Beyond that though, I think this board really shines with its feature set. It offers CPU flexibility, PCIe 5, Wi-Fi 7 (with antenna), 5 GbE internet, dual USB4, and 4 M.2 slots. These are all things I was looking for, and while I think most of these should generally be expected these days, they are still nice to see. As are 4 memory slots allowing for a max of 256GB of RAM and 2 SATA (I still use one). Further, the ports and connectivity are somewhat ridiculous (2 x USB-C 4, 1 x USB-C 3.2, 7 x USB-A 3.2, 1 x USB-A 2.0, 1 x USB-C 4 2.0) As someone coming from a less robust board, I really appreciate this. I think they made smart choices and that a wide range of users should be covered and happy here. In the end, I think this is a quality board and I like it, even if I still just wish it was matte blacked out. It is very easy to build with, well-built, and probably most importantly to me, comes equipped with a strong set of features. I think it has a nice blend of current capability and future flexibility. I think that, along with all you get, delivers solid value, especially given the current state of the market.

I've been building PCs long enough to have real opinions about motherboards, and this one earned a spot on my short list pretty quickly. I paired it with a Ryzen 9 9800X3D and from the first boot it was clear this combination was something special. Stable, fast, and with enough headroom to push things further without the board ever feeling like the limiting factor. If you're on AM5 and serious about your build, this is the kind of foundation that makes everything else easier. The BIOS is where this board really stands out. ASUS has a strong reputation here and this one lives up to it. The layout is logical, EZ Mode gives a clean overview for quick changes, and the Advanced section goes as deep as you'd want without feeling cluttered or inconsistently labeled. Dialing in PBO, adjusting curve optimizer on a per-core basis, tuning memory timings, configuring fan curves, all of it is accessible and well organized. For a chip like the 9800X3D where there's real performance to unlock through careful tuning, a BIOS this capable makes a genuine difference. I spent a solid evening in there after the initial build and came away genuinely enjoying the process rather than fighting it. Power delivery is a strong point too. The 16+2+1 phase design with 80A stages is well matched to the 9800X3D and then some. VRM temps stay low even under sustained workloads, and the board has been completely rock solid since day one. No instability during memory tuning, no issues whatsoever. Connectivity is fully covered. Four M.2 slots with two running PCIe 5.0 means current and next generation SSDs are supported without compromise. USB4 at 40Gbps is on the rear IO alongside a solid mix of USB-A and USB-C, 5Gb ethernet handles a fast wired connection without complaint, and the WiFi 7 implementation holds a fast stable signal at range. Nothing feels like an afterthought here. The white NEO aesthetic is clean and sharp without being overdone. Subtle RGB, substantial heatsinks, and a layout that made the build process straightforward from start to finish. Paired with the 9800X3D this is about as good as an AM5 gaming build gets right now.

When ASUS puts their minds to building a high-end motherboard, there aren't that many out there who can top them. And this motherboard is a great example of that high-end, even if the name (TUF Gaming X870-Pro WIFI7 W Neo) is a bit of a mouthful. Behind the name, this is a top notch full-sized ATX board that is meant for those seeking great performance and connectivity...and a whole lot of storage. The white color of the board is a nice touch that fits well with the plethora of white case options for a light colored build. Building around the board was quite easy with the standard AM5 socket retention bracket and cooling mount (which is of course removable if you use a cooler that requires a backplate). The four memory slots are also fairly standard and the power and front panel connections are where you would expect them (including both USB-A 5Gbps and USB-C 20Gbps options). You do get a LOT of M.2 slots (with 4 total on the front of the board, including three with built-in heat sinks. Note that only two of these are PCIe 5.0, the other two are 4.0 which is fine for bulk storage and most use cases. Due to the large number of M.2 / SSD slots, you do only get 2 expansion slots - 1 PCIe 5.0 x16 and 1 PCIe 4.0 which is x4 but in an x16 slot size. This is generally fine as most people will use a GPU in one and likely nothing in the other unless you need faster networking or some other specialized card. Back panel connectivity is strong with 2x USB 4.0 / 40Gbps USB-C ports, and 8x USB-A ports ranging from USB 2.0 to 10Gbps. You get HDMI out for those using an APU vs a GPU, 5Gbps ethernet, connection points for the WiFi 7 antena and the standard audio jacks. In my testing, the motherboard not only was easy to build on, but easy to get up and running as well with the latest drivers and software. The software enables a lot of "AI" features that help with everything from basics to boost networking and such to advanced features that heavily optimize performance to your preferences. Once you're up and running the board is stable and generally just works - which is really what you want from a motherboard. So if you're looking for a board to build your next AMD centric PC around, this is a solid option from a great name in the industry. Give it a try today!

I’ve been really happy with the ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO so far. I was looking for a good motherboard for an AMD build that would give me plenty of room to upgrade later, and this one checked a lot of the boxes I was looking for. The board feels really well made and sturdy, which is something I appreciate when putting a PC together. I also like that it supports the AM5 platform and DDR5, so I’m working with newer hardware without having to worry about the motherboard holding the rest of the build back. There are also plenty of connections and expansion options, which is nice because I tend to add things to my setup over time. The built-in Wi-Fi 7 is another feature I really like. It’s nice having fast wireless connectivity already included instead of needing to buy a separate adapter. I still prefer using Ethernet when I’m gaming and want the most reliable connection possible, but having Wi-Fi built into the board gives me another option and makes the setup cleaner. Installation was pretty straightforward for me. Everything is laid out in a way that makes sense, and I didn’t have a hard time finding the connections I needed. It’s also nice that ASUS gives you plenty of room to work with when you’re putting everything together. I really like the look of the board too. The TUF Gaming design gives it a gaming feel without going overboard with RGB or making it look like it belongs in only one type of build. Once everything was installed, it looked really good with the rest of my components. Overall, I think this is a great motherboard for someone putting together a newer AMD gaming PC. It has the features I wanted, feels solid, has plenty of connectivity, and gives me room to upgrade later. The Wi-Fi 7 and DDR5 support are nice bonuses, but what I like most is that it feels like a motherboard I can build around and keep for a while instead of something I’ll need to replace when I upgrade other parts.

The biggest thing that excited me about this motherboard was the easy slot releases built in for the graphics card and the M.2 slot. Serious graphics cards these days are so chunky it feels impossible to get my fingers into the computer with enough force to pop out the card if needed. This conveniently placed latch pops out above the PCB making it way easier to release and pull the card out. Same for the M.2, no longer having to stick a screwdriver in there or remove the GPU to get the drive out is an absolute blessing. This motherboard has incredible power capabilities to ensure that your system will always perform as high as you can push it. Ample power for the power hungry CPU like the Ryzen 9900X3D ensure my computer can run the games at peak FPS in 4K whilst also streaming in the background. Speaking of power, having access to a 30W charger via my computer is absolutely insane and awesome. I don't need to worry about making sure my phone charges every night because I can get a full charge in less than an hour whilst getting some gaming time in in the process. Wireless keyboards, mice, and headphones all charge at an incredible rate. These USB C ports also support up to 40Gbps data transfers for moving huge files in no time at all. I prefer to run wired connections for my internet and in the growing age of fiber, this motherboard has me covered with a 5Gbps port, but if that's not enough for you it also supports WiFi 7 with an included antenna for pushing a maximum of 46Gbps if you're lucky enough to have that kind of internet. Finally, I love the dedication to the all white and silver aesthetic. It leans all in for that pristine bright build to reflect all the RGB you can cram into your case. Perfect to start with a blank canvas and customize the computer your own way. Eight USB ports on the back leave plenty of room for external drives, wireless dongles, and other audio/video peripherals.

I used this motherboard for my first-ever PC build, and my experience with it has been excellent. Building a PC for the first time can feel overwhelming, so I wanted a motherboard that offered plenty of features and connection options while also looking great in the finished system. This motherboard delivered exactly what I was hoping for. One of my favorite things about this board is its wide variety of ports, internal headers, and expansion options. I was able to connect multiple case fans, install an AIO liquid cooler, and add other accessories without feeling limited by the available connections. Having plenty of places to connect and control these components made it easier to create the cooling and accessory setup I wanted for my build. It also gives me flexibility if I decide to expand or change the system later. The motherboard also allowed me to install 64GB of DDR5 RAM, giving my first build plenty of memory for my needs. Combined with the built-in Wi-Fi 7 and the generous selection of external ports, the board feels modern, versatile, and well equipped for both my current setup and possible future upgrades. The white finish was another major highlight for me. It gives the motherboard a clean, distinctive appearance and looks amazing as part of my completed build. Since this was my first PC, seeing all the components come together was especially rewarding, and the motherboard’s design made the finished result look even better than I had imagined. Overall, I am extremely happy with the ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO. It combines an attractive white design with the connections, memory support, and features I wanted. Based on my personal experience using it in my first build, I would give it five stars.
