This motherboard is ideal for gamers, content creators, and power users who demand high-speed performance and advanced features.
The board features a 5+3 phase digital PWM design with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs to ensure stable and efficient power delivery to the CPU, which is crucial for maintaining performance during intensive tasks. It also supports PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 x4 M.2 NVMe connectors, allowing for ultra-fast data transfer speeds of up to 64Gb/s. This makes it an excellent choice for users who want to take advantage of the latest NVMe SSDs for faster boot times and application loading.
With Smart Fan 5 technology, the motherboard offers advanced thermal management by allowing users to customize fan headers based on thermal sensors located in different areas of the motherboard. This ensures optimal cooling performance while keeping noise levels low. Additionally, the board includes hybrid fan connectors that support both PWM and voltage modes, making it more compatible with liquid cooling systems.
The motherboard supports up to 128GB of DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots, with speeds ranging from 2133MHz to 4733MHz depending on the processor used. It also includes support for ECC and Unbuffered memory modules, making it suitable for both gaming and professional applications that require reliability and stability.
For connectivity, the board features a variety of expansion slots including one PCIe x16 slot (supporting PCIe 4.0 x16 for third-gen Ryzen CPUs) and a PCIe x4 slot (supporting PCIe 3.0 x4). It also includes multiple M.2 slots and SATA 6Gb/s ports for flexible storage options.
The onboard audio uses a Realtek ALC887 codec, supporting up to 7.1-channel surround sound for an immersive audio experience. The motherboard also includes a Realtek GbE LAN chip for reliable network performance.
The rear panel provides multiple USB ports (including USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0/1.1), an HDMI port (supporting up to 4K resolution), a DVI-D port, and an RJ-45 Ethernet port. The internal I/O connectors include headers for CPU coolers, RGB LED strips, and other peripherals.
The motherboard comes with a range of unique features such as APP Center for managing various applications, @BIOS for easy firmware updates, EasyTune for system tuning, Game Boost for optimizing gaming performance, ON/OFF Charge for charging USB devices even when the PC is off, RGB Fusion for customizing RGB lighting, Smart Backup for system backups, System Information Viewer for monitoring system details, Q-Flash Plus for easy BIOS updates, and Xpress Installation for simplified setup.
