Key Specifications

Performance-Driven Design

The 6+2+1 phase digital VRM ensures stable power delivery to Intel Core 14th Gen CPUs during demanding workloads. This design helps maintain consistent performance whether gaming, streaming, or running productivity applications. The passive cooling solution keeps the system quiet while effectively managing heat.

Storage and Expansion Flexibility

With two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots supporting up to 2280mm drives, you can install multiple high-speed NVMe SSDs for rapid data access. Four SATA III ports allow for additional HDDs or SSDs, while the single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot accommodates the latest graphics cards. Two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots provide room for expansion cards like capture devices or network adapters.

Connectivity and I/O Features

Front-panel connectors, including USB 3.2 Gen 1 and audio, make installation straightforward. The rear I/O offers a mix of modern and legacy ports: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, two USB 2.0, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.2, and PS/2 for older peripherals. The 2.5GbE LAN provides faster network speeds than standard Gigabit Ethernet.

RGB and Customization Options

Three RGB LED pin headers allow you to sync lighting with compatible components for a cohesive build aesthetic. The UEFI BIOS with clear CMOS jumper makes system tweaking and troubleshooting accessible, while the 128Mb SPI flash supports modern UEFI features.
