Motherboard Performance
Testing the ASRock X870E CHALLENGER WiFi was accomplished using the benchmarks below. The following components were used: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB at 6000MT/s (CMH32G5M2D6000C36), TEAMGROUP T-FORCE GR PRO Airflow 2TB Gen5 NVME, and the ASRock RX 7600 XT Steel Legend 16G OC graphics card. Comparison results are discussed from reviews of the ASRock X870E Phantom Gaming NOVA WiFi and the MSI MPG X870E CARBON MAX WiFi motherboards,  as those boards were equally outfitted.
Below you will find a gallery of result screenshots from our testing protocol and a brief discussion of the results compared to the other motherboards with the same or similar components.
When the dust settles, these three X870E motherboards record nearly identical benchmark scores. There are a few variances due to component differences, but overall, there is no glaring difference, as it should be. The ASRock X870E CHALLENGER WiFi trades even blows with its fancier, pricier counterparts. We saw no issues in running any of the benchmarks.
VRM Temperatures
In this test, we run Cinebench R23 multicore for 20 minutes minimum and then record the temperatures across the heatsinks using HWInfo64. The CPU temperatures reached a maximum of 93.8C, 100% utilization, and 5294MHz. VRM temperatures averaged 39C. There was no thermal throttle, and no stability issues were encountered. These results are in keeping with what we saw in our recent review of the ASRock X870 CHALLENGER WiFi White motherboard.
