WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

ASUS ProArt B850-CREATOR WIFI NEO

What it brings

Two CPU-connected PCIe 5.0 x16 slots that split x8/x8, plus two PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slots and four SATA ports.
Manufacturer source
Dual Realtek 5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, a rear USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt mode and a front 20 Gb/s USB-C connector rated up to 30 W PD/QC4+.
Manufacturer source
AMD EPYC 4005 support with Windows Server 2025/2022 listed, ECC and non-ECC unbuffered DDR5, ASUS Control Center Express, an SPI TPM header and a Thunderbolt (USB4) header.
Manufacturer source

What to check

Using M.2_3 disables the chipset x16 slot, and installing both graphics-length PCIe 5.0 cards runs each at x8.
Manufacturer source
Only eight rear USB ports (none faster than 10 Gb/s, no USB4), a back-panel list with no Clear CMOS button (ASUS lists an internal Clear CMOS header), no stated Bluetooth version, and onboard audio is disabled with an EPYC CPU.
Manufacturer source

ASUS ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI

What it brings

4 M.2 storage positions and 2 SATA connectors provide several drive-connection options.
Manufacturer source
1 × Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 offer both wired and wireless network connections.
Manufacturer source

What to check

Only M.2_1 is listed as PCIe 5.0 with Ryzen 9000/7000; M.2_2 uses PCIe 4.0. Ryzen 8000 changes the first connection to PCIe 4.0 and can limit M.2_2 to x2. Using PCIEX16(G4) disables M.2_3.
Manufacturer source
