The Strix-F might not have any USB 4 ports on it, but that doesn't mean to say that you'll be short of places to plug in your peripherals, from Type-A, Type-C and all flavours of USB 3.2.
Whenever we build a new system we always take great pleasure in this bit as it means our job is done and, fingers crossed, it will soon be *Frankenstein voice* ALIVE!Īway from that is another pair of fan headers and the USB 2.0 front panel headers which now serve their purpose by allowing us to control our CPU coolers lighting.Įnded our tour of the PCB itself with the bottom left corner where the SupremeFX audio is on its own separate trace, whilst there is more fan headers and the other pair of AURA lighting connectors. The bottom corner contains the all-important front panel connectors that plumb the motherboard in to your case. Still more than enough for the majority of people. With so many M.2 slots the Strix-F has just four SATA ports. If you've got a case that doesn't support USB Type-C then why not take the opportunity whilst you're upgrading to the AM5 platform to get a new case too? If so, the armoured front panel USB connectors will be useful. There is another fan header below the diagnostic LEDs, and the ARGB/RGB headers that let you plug your lighting strips in to the ASUS AURA software. Just in case you doubted how much AIOs have totally monopolised the CPU cooling marketplace.
The top right sees a now common collection of AIO pump header and two CPU fan headers.
As always we begin with the CPU 12V power connectors, two 8pin offerings in the case of the Strix F, both of which have the armour reinforcement.
