SAPPHIRE NITRO+ X870EA PhantomLink Edition AMD X870E AM5 ATX Motherboard | DDR5 8400+ | PCIe 5.0 | WiFi 7 | 5GbE

The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ X870EA PhantomLink Edition is an ATX motherboard built on the AMD X870E chipset for the AM5 socket, supporting AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 Series processors. It pairs a 16+2+1 phase power design rated at 90A per phase with a full PCIe 5.0 foundation, making it a serious platform for high-end builds.

Memory support runs across 4 DIMM slots in dual channel, with DDR5 speeds reaching up to 8400MHz (OC) and a maximum capacity of 256GB (4 × 64GB). Storage and expansion are equally generous: four M.2 slots split as 2 × PCIe 5.0 and 2 × PCIe 4.0, plus 4 × SATA, alongside a primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 4.0 x4 slots in x16 form factor.

Networking and connectivity cover WiFi 7 with up to 320MHz bandwidth, Bluetooth 5.4 and a Realtek RTL8126 5Gbps Ethernet controller. The rear I/O includes 2 × USB4 40Gbps Type-C, 4 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 4 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and 2 × USB 2.0 Type-A, with a front USB-C header supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 at 20Gbps and 30W Power Delivery.
