DDR5 Memory Performance

This board supports DDR5 memory with XMP and EXPO profiles. The 6-layer PCB design provides stable signal traces. This helps with lower temperatures and better energy efficiency during memory overclocking. You can install up to 256 GB of DDR5 RAM. Both ECC and non-ECC modules are compatible.

High-Speed Storage Options

You get one Hyper M.2 slot supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds. This allows for very fast NVMe SSD performance, twice the speed of older Gen3 drives. There are also two SATA III ports for traditional 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives. This mix gives you flexibility for your storage needs.

Integrated Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5GbE LAN

The board includes Wi-Fi 6E, which uses the 6 GHz spectrum for less interference and lower latency. It also has a Dragon 2.5Gb/s LAN port. This provides much faster wired networking than standard gigabit Ethernet. It is ideal for file transfers, streaming, and online gaming.

Robust Connectivity and RGB

It features a front USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C header for modern cases. There are four RGB LED headers for custom lighting. The Realtek ALC897 audio chip supports 7.1 channels. A Post Status Checker shows CPU, DRAM, VGA, and BOOT status with LEDs during startup.
