Colorful has launched the iGame X870E Vulcan W OC, an all-white version of its flagship X870E overclocking motherboard, featuring an 18+2+2-phase 110A DrMOS power design, high-speed DDR5 support, and extensive M.2 and USB4 connectivity. It's aimed at AM5 enthusiasts who want strong overclocking headroom paired with a white-themed aesthetic, and it carries a suggested retail price of ¥3,999 RMB (about $600 USD).
Colorful has introduced the iGame X870E Vulcan W OC, a white-finished follow-up to its earlier iGame X870E Vulcan OC, aimed at AM5 enthusiasts who want serious overclocking headroom in a distinctive package. According to TechPowerUp, the board pairs an 18+2+2-phase 110A DrMOS power design with a graphics card-inspired heat pipe and fin cooling system, built on a 10-layer server-grade PCB that uses immersion gold and back-drilling to reduce signal loss during demanding workloads.
On the memory side, the board supports up to DDR5-8800+ MT/s with Ryzen 9000 processors, DDR5-10600+ MT/s with Ryzen 8000, and DDR5-8000+ MT/s with Ryzen 7000, across two DIMM slots. Wccftech reports that Colorful has already pushed CXMT DDR5 modules to 9000 MT/s on this board, underscoring its overclocking-focused design. Dedicated tuning tools including a Debug display, BIOS switch, and BCLK adjustment are joined by a one-click overclocking button intended to make tuning more approachable for first-time overclockers, alongside support for Colorful's X3D AI High Frame Rate Mode and specific optimization for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2.
Connectivity is extensive for a board in this class: five M.2 slots split between PCIe 5.0 x4 and PCIe 4.0 x4, nine front-panel USB ports including a 20 Gbps USB-C port with 60W Power Delivery, and two rear USB4 Type-C ports at 40 Gbps with 4K display output. An onboard 268x800-pixel iGame Smart LCD adds a monitoring and customization display near the DIMM slots.
Visually, the Vulcan W OC swaps the original model's look for an all-white PCB and heatsink finished with an iridescent coating that shifts color depending on viewing angle and lighting, aimed at builders working on white-themed AM5 systems. Colorful has set a suggested retail price of ¥3,999 RMB (roughly $600 USD), though availability details have not yet been disclosed.
