Powerful performance and stability
The digital VRM solution with 12+2+2 phases ensures high stability even under heavy loads. The use of premium chokes and capacitors, along with a 6-layer PCB and a double copper layer, provide better conductivity, lower losses, and support reliable operation when overclocking.
Memory and storage
The board supports four dual-channel DDR5 slots with compatibility for both AMD EXPO™ and Intel® XMP. Optimised signal routing ensures higher frequencies and better memory stability. For fast data transfers, there is one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, complete with M.2 Thermal Guard heatsinks to prevent the drives from overheating.
Cooling, connectivity and features for gamers
The advanced cooling system includes massive heatsinks, a heat pipe, and highly conductive thermal pads that significantly improve heat dissipation. Smart Fan 6 enables detailed fan control and quiet operation. Connectivity is handled by a 2.5GbE network card and Wi-Fi 6E wireless connection with a high-gain antenna. There are USB-C ports on the front and rear panels, as well as HDMI and DisplayPort, ensuring a wide range of connection options. The EZ-Latch feature makes it easier to install M.2 drives and graphics cards without screws. Q-Flash Plus technology is available for quick BIOS updates.
