Stable performance for demanding applications
The board uses a 14+2+1 phase power design and high-quality 20K Black capacitors with a 1000μF capacity, which ensure a stable voltage and a longer lifespan. Dr.MOS technology and Hi-Density Power Connectors deliver efficient power even when overclocking. The eight-layer PCB improves efficiency, reduces temperature and supports extreme DDR5 memory performance with both XMP and EXPO profiles. This gives the board top-tier stability, even under load.
Connectivity for creators and gamers
The board offers a wide range of connectivity options with 14 USB ports, including a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C with a transfer speed of 20Gb/s. A pair of PCIe x4 slots expands the possibilities with additional cards and devices. Wi-Fi 7 with Multi-link Operation guarantees extreme transfer speeds and low latency. The Dragon 2.5Gb LAN network chip increases throughput by up to 2.5× compared to the gigabit standard. The Nahimic Audio system provides realistic surround sound and suppresses noise for clear communication. The visual side is handled by Polychrome RGB with support for addressable LEDs and integration into the SignalRGB system.

Choosing a motherboard
When choosing a motherboard (also known as a mainboard), it's important to pay close attention to the motherboard's socket type, format and chipset. These are the most crucial parameters, as they ensure the board's compatibility with the processor, expansion cards and other components. The specific socket determines which processor you can choose, while the other connectors will dictate the selection of further components for your future computer.Specifications
