- High-end audio with ESS SABRE9219 DAC, 130dB signal-to-noise ratio, and support for up to 600Ω headphones
- Support for overclocking DDR5 memory up to 9600MHz with Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles
Powerful design and premium components
The foundation is a robust 20+1+2+1+1 phase power design equipped with Smart Power Stage (Dr.MOS) technology, which monitors the current and temperature of each phase to ensure a smooth and clean power supply to the processor with excellent overclocking capabilities. 20000 1000uF capacitors support system stability. The eight-layer PCB construction uses server-grade low-loss technology and a 2oz copper layer, which improves signal integrity and enables PCIe 5.0 support for both the graphics card and M.2 SSD. This solution also maximises the DDR5 memory overclocking potential to achieve extreme performance.
Memory capabilities
Four DDR5 slots support dual-channel and overclocking up to a frequency exceeding 9600MHz, thanks to support for Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles. The Memory OC Shield function ensures stable and reliable operation even during demanding memory overclocking. Pre-set profiles make overclocking easy without complex manual adjustments, and the system is optimised for maximum performance with compatible memory modules.
Expanded storage and cooling options
The board has six M.2 slots, one of which supports the PCIe 5.0 standard with transfer speeds of up to 128Gb/s, while the remaining slots use PCIe Gen4. One of the M.2 slots is a hybrid with SATA III support. The M.2 slots are equipped with large aluminium heatsinks featuring a quick-release mechanism for easy, tool-free installation. The M.2 bottom heatsinks efficiently dissipate heat through the PCB, maximising the performance and stability of SSDs. Additionally, there are four SATA III connectors with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support.
Audiovisual experience and lighting
The audio section is built around the Realtek ALC4082 codec with 5.1 channel support, complemented by an ESS SABRE9219 DAC chip that delivers true Hi-Fi audio with a 130dB signal-to-noise ratio and support for headphones up to 600Ω impedance. WIMA Audio capacitors and Nahimic Audio technology ensure clear sound without digital signal distortion. The graphics outputs consist of HDMI 2.1 and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. The Polychrome RGB system allows you to synchronise RGB LED devices via integrated RGB headers and addressable RGB headers (supports WS2812B strips up to 80 LEDs and standard 5050 RGB strips). Official SignalRGB support provides advanced lighting control with game responsiveness, macro automation, and system monitoring.
