ASUS B850 MAX Gaming WiFi Motherboard
AM5 · B850DDR5 + PCIe 5.03× M.2Wi-Fi 6E
The ASUS B850 MAX Gaming WiFi (part number 90MB1PR0-M0EAY0) is an ATX motherboard built on the AMD B850 chipset with an AM5 socket for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors (up to 170W). It combines DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 and three M.2 slots with Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5G Ethernet and a USB4 header, making it a fast, well-connected foundation for a modern AMD gaming or creator build. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility & good to know
This board uses the AM5 socket for AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors (up to 170W) and requires DDR5 memory (up to 256GB, EXPO up to 8400+ MT/s when overclocked) — it is not compatible with AM4 CPUs or DDR4. The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot runs at full speed on Ryzen 9000/7000 CPUs. Its wireless is Wi-Fi 6E (not Wi-Fi 7), and USB4 is available via an internal header for a compatible front panel or expansion.
