All You Need for Maximum Productivity

Ultrafast Networking

Two 5G Ethernet Ports

Two 5G Ethernet connectivity provides flexible network configuration for professional environments, enabling creators to allocate dedicated bandwidth for online connectivity and local storage systems to enhance workflow efficiency, data integrity, and system reliability.

WiFi 7

The revolutionary WiFi 7 is faster than standard WiFi 6 (WiFi 7 features require onboard WiFi chipset, WiFi AP, and WiFi 7-supported operating systems to support the corresponding features.), thanks to tech like 160 MHz channels (Specifications vary by model.) on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM (WiFi 7 features require onboard WiFi chipset, WiFi AP, and WiFi 7-supported operating systems to support the corresponding features.). Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming and industrial IoT.

MLO Wizard

MLO Wizard assesses your environment for Multi-Link Operation support across your device, router and operating system, while also visualising the current traffic capacity on each of your router's frequency bands.

PCIe 5.0 Support

Fully embracing the latest standard, the ProArt B850-Creator WiFi Neo offers PCIe 5.0 support to give unfettered bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available.

PCIe® Lane Optimisation

Content Creation & Streaming

Fully utilises native PCIe 5.0 lanes supported by AMD Ryzen™ 9000 & 7000 CPUs, delivering optimised bandwidth for maximum performance.

Advanced Creation & AI

Cater to professional creators and demanding AI workloads, including dual GPU support for intensive AI and rendering tasks.

PCIe 5.0 Expansion Slots

Both of the x16 expansion slots are PCIe 5.0, offering incredible speeds of up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices. To bear the brunt of massive graphics cards, they are also protected with SafeSlot retention brackets, and the top slot can be released easily via PCIe Slot Q-Release.
