5.9/10verdict: good, not the best

This board is for people building a mainstream Intel LGA1700 system on DDR4, perhaps reusing existing memory. It suits mid-range CPUs, with built-in 2.5GbE and Wi-Fi 6E. It is a weaker fit for anyone planning a flagship Core i9 or a lot of USB and SATA devices.

Strengths and weaknesses

ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI

  • + Five M.2 slots, three of them PCIe 5.0
  • + Two rear USB4 Type-C ports and Wi-Fi 7
  • + 18+2+2 VRM with dual 8-pin power
  • − Ethernet is 5Gb, not 10Gb
  • − Top memory speeds of 8000+ MT/s need overclocking

Skip it if:

  • Buyers who need 10GbE built into the board.
  • Builders who only need a few drives and basic USB and don't need a premium feature set.
  • Anyone building in a small case that cannot take a full ATX board.
