With the launch of AMD's Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs closing in, motherboard makers are now preparing their motherboards with the best possible support using the latest AMD AGESA BIOS firmware capabilities. First up, we will see support roll out for existing AM5 motherboards which will be the first to feature support for the Zen 5 CPUs while the brand new X870E & X870 options will be available on the 30th of September with improved I/O capabilities & faster DDR5 memory.

ASUS showcased just one X870 motherboard at its Computex booth which is the new TUF Gaming design and features a very minimalist look that looks great in black and gray colors. We can expect more high-end X870E and X870 designs from ASUS once we get closer to the September timeline.
