ASUS has unveiled its latest AMD 800 Series AM5 motherboards alongside the new ROG Strix LC IV AIO cooler series at CES 2026, delivering enhanced AI features, next-generation connectivity and a more streamlined DIY experience for PC builders.
The refreshed motherboard lineup spans ROG, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming and ProArt families across X870E, X870 and B850 chipsets, supporting AMD Zen 5 Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors. Built with server-grade PCB enhancements, NitroPath DRAM, AEMP and DIMM Fit Pro, the boards unlock higher DDR5 stability, compatibility and overclocking headroom.
ASUS has also optimized PCIe lane layouts to support multiple high-speed M.2 SSDs while maintaining full PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics performance, ideal for gaming, content creation and AI workloads. AI-powered features such as AI Cache Boost, AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, AI Networking II and ASUS AI Advisor further enhance performance tuning and system optimization.
Ease of building is improved with ASUS’ latest EZ PC DIY innovations, including PCIe Slot Q-Release Switch, M.2 Q-Latch, M.2 Q-Release, Q-Antenna, Q-Dashboard, Q-Code and Q-LED, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation. A larger 64MB UEFI BIOS ensures broader CPU support, while pre-installed WiFi drivers and the new ASUS MLO Wizard streamline setup and connectivity.
Complementing the new motherboards, ASUS introduced the ROG Strix LC IV Series AIO coolers, featuring a 5.08-inch full-color display, quiet cooling performance and a choice of standard or short tubing designs. The standout innovation is the new AIO Q-Connector, which enables wireless transmission of control signals when paired with compatible motherboards—eliminating the need for traditional pump, fan and LCD cables.
Together, ASUS’ latest AMD 800 Series motherboards and ROG Strix LC IV coolers showcase the company’s continued focus on performance, intelligent AI integration and builder-friendly design for next-generation PCs.
