Asus presents its rog strix motherboards with x570 chipset at computex 2019

After having met the new Crosshair boards, it is now the turn for the Asus ROG Strix with X570 chipset for the new and impressive AMD Ryzen 3000, of which we already have several confirmed models. Gaming motherboards with enhanced VRM, PCIe 4.0 capability , Wi-Fi 6 and much more.

Main news and new chipset

In one of the most important events in the world such as Computex 2019, brands make great efforts to bring us the best of their arsenal. We have already known just a few hours ago the new AMD CPUs with 7nm architecture that will give the Intel a lot of war.

On the part of the plate manufacturers, we also have many new features, and as always Asus is one of the first. In this case we are talking about the new Asus ROG Strix models with AMD X570 chipset, the successor to the X470 that has support for the new PCI-Express 4.0 interface. the performance of this new specification raises the speed to 1969 MB / s for each LANE both up and down. This interface will also be mounted in the M.2 slots for storage units, being able to reach theoretical speeds of 8000 MB / s in x4.

Another new feature from Asus is the support for Wi-Fi cards that work under the 802.11ax protocol, Wi-Fi 6 for friends. Increasing the speed in 2 × 2 connections by up to 1 Gbps, reaching up to 2, 400 Mbps on the 5 GHz frequency. It is something we asked for a lot after the departure, almost a year ago, of the first Wi-Fi 6 routers of the brand.

Asus has also done intense work improving the power or VRM phases of its new 7nm Ryzen CPU board range. In addition to more of them, the three stages have two different modalities. The first of them is a double phase with PWM control together with another element that duplicates the signal in the MOSFET stages, the second is called Teamed or teamwork, where we do not have a divider and the PWM gives signal to two MOSFETS d simultaneously. Without further ado, let's check out these new Asus ROG Strix models .

Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming

These boards obviously have the X570 chipset and it is the one that offers us greater benefits in the family for AMD Ryzen 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation.

We have a XL size aluminum heatsink board in the powerful VRM and other aluminum elements throughout the chipset area and M.2 slots, which has already become a constant of the brand, and we see it very successful. You could also not miss your dose of RGB AURA Sync LED lighting throughout the heatsink area.

Without a doubt a board designed by and for gaming and to house those powerful AMD Ryzen 3700X, 3800X and 3900X that have been presented. The capacity for RAM memory is located at 128 GB DDR4 at 3800 MHz along with the 20 PCIe LANES that this new chipset offers us.

We have a total of 3 PCIe 4.0 x16, running at x16 or x8 / x8 and the third at x4, along with two other 2 PCIe 4.0 x1 slots. Of course it supports Multi-GPU AMD Crossfire technology. Similarly, the two M.2 storage slots have also been updated offering a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface to fly our SSDs. Both slots support 22110 sizes and also SATA 6 Gbps interface.

And it seems that the keynote on these high-end boards is to provide us with 7 USB 3.1 gen2 Type-A ports and another USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C. In addition, we have 4x USB 3.1 gen1 along with multiple headers for internal front connections. In this case, and unlike the Crosshair range, we do have an HDMI 2.0 port and another DisplayPort 1.2.

Network connectivity consists of a Realtek 2.5G LAN chip that offers 2500 Mb / s and another Intel I211AT GbE chip. Of course in version E we have Wi-Fi 6 with the Intel Wireless-AX 200 chip that offers a 2 × 2 speed of 2, 402 Mbps MU-MIMO at 5 GHz and 574 Mbps at 2.4 GHz.

For the rest, we have a high-end integrated sound card with a Realtek S122A chip with the Sonic Studio III system with capacity for 7.1 surround. In addition to built-in lighting, we have dual 4-pin RGB header and dual A-RGB.

Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming

This is the version without Wi-Fi 6 of the Strix-E, so, in general terms, the benefits it provides us in the rest of the sections will be exactly the same. As it does not have a Wi-Fi chip, the price will be significantly cheaper, and will be aimed at users and gaming PCs where they do not need wireless connectivity.

Availability

Like the other plates presented, these ROG Strix will be available on the market from the first fortnight of July 2019, in just over a month, and coinciding with the launch of the new Ryzen that AMD has launched on the market. presented.

About prices, we do not have anything from the manufacturer, so it will be relatively difficult to set values, especially considering that the cost of CPUs has increased in this new generation. In any case, these two models could be around 250 or 300 dollars euros. Will it be one of the ones you buy in this new generation?
