Quick Specs

Unmatched Performance with Digital VRM Design

The 5+2+2 phase digital VRM with low RDS(on) MOSFETs delivers stable power delivery for demanding Ryzen CPUs, ensuring consistent performance under load. This design reduces heat and improves efficiency, making it ideal for both stock and modest overclocking scenarios.

Future-Ready Connectivity

With PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 support, you can install the latest high-speed NVMe SSDs for rapid data access. The GbE LAN with bandwidth management helps maintain low latency in crowded networks, while multiple display outputs (D-Sub, DisplayPort, HDMI) offer flexible multi-monitor setups.

Smart Cooling for Quiet Operation

Smart Fan 6 provides advanced thermal control with multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers. You can set precise fan curves, enable fan stop below a set temperature, and switch between slope or stair modes for optimal cooling and noise balance.

Easy BIOS Updates & User-Friendly Features

Q-Flash Plus lets you update the BIOS without installing the CPU, memory, or GPU—just use a USB drive and the dedicated button. EZ-Latch on the PCIe slot makes graphics card installation and removal quick and tool-free.
