Colorful has launched the iGame X870E Ultra-S V14, an E-ATX AM5 motherboard aimed at overclockers, featuring a 16+2+1 VRM design, five M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 7, and 5 GbE networking. The board has also been shown running a 192 GB DDR5 kit at 6600 MT/s CL28, highlighting its memory overclocking capability.
Colorful has officially released the iGame X870E Ultra-S V14, an E-ATX motherboard built for AMD's AM5 platform and aimed squarely at overclockers and enthusiasts, according to TechPowerUp. The board uses a 16+2+1 power phase VRM design that Colorful rates at 80 A per phase, backed by aluminum heat sinks, along with five M.2 slots for storage, each with its own cooling.
On the I/O side, the board packs in Wi-Fi 7 and 5 GbE networking, plus a wide array of rear USB ports including dual USB4 40 Gbps connections. Overclocking-focused touches include XMP/EXPO memory profile support, asynchronous BCLK CPU overclocking, a digital debug display, EZ Debug diagnosis, and rear-panel buttons for clearing CMOS and updating BIOS without needing to open the case.
Colorful has also used the board to demonstrate just how far AM5 memory overclocking has come. As reported by Wccftech, the company ran a 192 GB DDR5 kit — four 48 GB modules from its iGame Shadow II DDR5 6000 CL30 lineup — at a stable 6600 MT/s with CL28 latency, using an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D. Pushing that much memory capacity to such a high speed with tight timings is a significant technical feat, since four fully populated DIMM slots place heavy electrical load on the memory controller and demand strong signal integrity from the motherboard itself.
Pricing in China has been reported at 1,899 CNY, or roughly $284 USD at the time of reporting, with the board currently listed on JD.com. Wccftech notes that Colorful plans to launch the iGame X870E Ultra-S ahead of China's November 11 Singles' Day shopping festival, though availability outside China has not yet been confirmed.
