NZXT reveals Black and White N9 X870E motherboards for Ryzen 9000
NZXT’s new N9 X870E are its highest-end AMD motherboards to date
NZXT are taking their AMD motherboards to the next level with their new N9 X870E designs. For starters, these are the first NZXT motherboards to get the N9 designation, with all prior motherboards being N7 models. Beyond that, these new motherboards also feature integrated RGB lighting and a new aesthetic.
To our knowledge, this motherboard’s white version is also NZXT’s first motherboard to feature a white PCB. This elevates the look of the N9 870E, and makes it feel like a more premium product. Hardware-wise, these new motherboards are a step far above NZXT’s existing N7 650E AM5 motherboard.
This motherboard features a 20+2+1 power phase design with 110A Smart Power Stages (SPS). Furthermore, it features WIFI 7, 5G ethernet, and two USB4 40Gbps ports. Additionally, NZXT’s N9 X870E features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots. Plenty of space for all of your storage needs.
NZXT says that it stands with AMD and its plans to support AM5 until 2027+. This means that NZXT’s new N9 X870E motherboard will receive long-term BIOS support. This motherboard will support AMD CPUs years into the future. Ryzen 9000 will not be the end of AM5.
Another neat feature of these motherboards is their support for NZXT’s 8-pin combo fan headers for their RGB Core single-frame fans. The RGB lighting on this motherboard can be controlled through NZXT’s CAM software.
