Power and memory architecture
The motherboard utilises a 24+2+1 phase power system with 110A SPS, which ensures a stable power supply to the processor and the integrated controller. It is fitted with capacitors rated for a 20000-hour lifespan and 1000µF capacity, which contributes to lower output voltage ripple and a more stable current response under heavy load. The eight-layer PCB with 2oz copper layers meets server-grade specifications, reducing signal loss and enabling full PCIe 5.0 support for graphics cards and M.2 SSDs. The board also supports DDR5 memory overclocking and both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles.
Storage and cooling
The board is equipped with one M.2 slot with a PCIe Gen5 x4 interface (128Gbps) and three PCIe Gen4 x4 slots (64Gbps). These are complemented by six SATA III 6.0Gbps connectors with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. Each M.2 slot features a tool-less mounting system and a passive aluminium heatsink. Cooling is managed by two connectors for CPU fans, four for system fans, one for an AIO pump, and one for a water pump. All connectors support both DC and PWM modes and provide automatic speed control.
Connectivity
The network interface consists of a 5Gbps LAN port and a Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) module with Bluetooth 5.4, supporting 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, 160MHz bandwidth, and MU-MIMO technology. The rear panel includes two USB4 Type-C ports (40Gbps, USB PD 3.0 up to 15W), five USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports (10Gbps), three USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, and two USB 2.0 ports. A front-panel USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C connector (20Gbps) is also available.
Audio and graphics outputs
The audio system features a Realtek ALC4082 codec with 5.1-channel output and an ESS SABRE9219 DAC with a 130dB signal-to-noise ratio, supporting headphones with an impedance of up to 600Ω. The board's design uses separate PCB layers for the left and right channels and WIMA capacitors on the rear outputs. Nahimic Audio software provides advanced sound customisation options. Graphics outputs include HDMI 2.1 (HDR, HDCP 2.3, up to 4K at 120Hz) and two USB4 Type-C ports (HDCP 2.3, up to 8K at 30Hz) with support for integrated AMD RDNA graphics.

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 your choice of processor, while the remaining connectors dictate which other components you'll need for your future computer.Specifications
