Stable power delivery
The power delivery system uses a digital 18 + 2 + 2 phase configuration for a stable power supply to the processor. Two 8-pin EPS connectors deliver stable voltage even under high system load. An eight-layer PCB with enhanced copper effectively dissipates heat from critical areas. The entire power delivery system maintains low operating temperatures thanks to massive passive heatsinks.
DDR5 memory support
Four DIMM memory slots support up to 256GB of DDR5 RAM. The system operates in dual-channel mode and supports overclocking up to 9000MHz. Integrated AMD EXPO technology makes it easy to set optimal parameters for memory modules in the BIOS. DDR Wind Blade technology reduces memory temperature by up to 10°C.
Passive cooling
The motherboard uses an advanced system of passive heatsinks to maintain low temperatures for all key components. The M.2 Thermal Guard XL heatsink covers the slots for high-speed SSDs and prevents them from overheating. A metal backplate increases the overall strength of the board and contributes to better heat dissipation. The Smart Fan 6 system offers six fan connectors and two temperature sensors.
Data transfers and USB 4.0 interface
The rear panel carries two USB4 Type-C ports with a transfer speed of up to 40Gb/s. These ports also support DisplayPort 1.4 video output with high resolution. Users can take advantage of a total of five slots for high-speed M.2 NVMe storage devices. Two of these slots operate on the PCIe 5.0 bus, while the remaining three use the PCIe 4.0 interface.
Wireless Wi-Fi 7 network
Wireless connectivity is handled by a MediaTek module with support for the Wi-Fi 7 standard. This interface uses a wide 320MHz band for fast data transfer. The wireless connectivity is complemented by Bluetooth version 5.4 for connecting peripheral devices. For a wired network connection, there are two ethernet ports with speeds of 10Gb/s and 5Gb/s.
Easy assembly with EZ-Latch features
The PCIe EZ-Latch Plus Duo mechanism makes it easy to change the graphics card without any tools. A similar screwless M.2 EZ-Latch Click system is used for quick installation of SSDs. The magnetic attachment of the heatsinks reduces the time needed for PC maintenance. The DriverBIOS system simplifies the installation of network drivers immediately after the first boot.

Choosing a motherboard
When choosing a motherboard, it’s important to pay close attention to the socket type, form factor, and chipset. These are the most crucial parameters, ensuring the board is compatible with the processor, expansion cards, and other components. The specific socket determines which processors you can use, while the other connectors dictate the selection of other components for your future PC build.Specifications
