- ASROCK X870 LIVE MIXER WIFI debuts with 25 USB ports including USB4
- Supports AMD Ryzen 7000 – 9000 Processors with PCIE 5.0 and DDR5 memory
- USB 2.0 Reliance weakens long -term newness in spite of other strong function kit
Asrock has launched the X870 Live Mixes WiFi, a $ 229 ATX bottom card aimed at content creators, but one that arrives with an unusual feature: Support for up to 25 USB devices.
The Board of Directors includes double USB4 gates, a 20 Gbps port, 12 USB 5GBPS gates and 10 USB 2.0 gates.
The presence of so many USB 2.0 connectors is seen by many as a bit of wonders in 2025, but if you have a lot of inheritance hardware, that’s what you want.
More is more
In its in -depth review of the motherboard, Tweattown pointed out: “Consider the basics. A keyboard, mouse, printer, headset, external SSD, a DAC, scanner, etc. But think of a user, such as a SIM enthusiast with lots of controllers. Maybe a high-end microphone setup, or a user with catch card. Having all these ports for everyday things like more flasher or phone right?”
The X870 Live Mixes support AMDS Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 -Serie processors via the AM5 plug and are built on the X870 chipset.
It offers four DDR5 DIMM slots that support up to 256 GB of memory with speeds above 8000 mt/s, although AMD notes performance is more balanced at lower speeds around DDR5-6000.
The board comes with a PCIE 5.0 X16 CLOTH CLAPH CARD CHEAP ARRANGE WITH TWO PCIE 3.0 X16 Slots that are wired on X4.
Storage options include four M.2 slots, two of which supports PCIE 5.0 -drive plus two SATA plugs.
For Network there is a Realtek 5GB LAN CONTRURE AND WIFI 7 with Bluetooth 5.4. Audio is handled via a Realtek ALC4082 codec with standard line-in, line-out and S/PDIF ports.
The rear I/O also includes HDMI 2.1 output and a BIOS flashback button to facilitate upgrades to future CPUs.
Tweattown Summated by saying: “To under $ 230, the X870 Live Mixes WiFi looks out to be the most functional of any board of directors in its price range. I don’t see anyone offering many USB ports, with double PCIE 5.0 M.2 support and 5G LAN. It has got a strong VRM and bricks to go with it.
For me, it’s just a shame that Asrock was no longer going forward with his port election.
