State-of-the-art components

The board is equipped with a LGA 1151 socket for the latest 14nm Skylake processors, and 4 slots for DDR4 memory modules which are highly shielded against electromagnetic noise. They operate at a base frequency of 2133MHz, but overclocking is up to 3600MHz.

Get the most out of your PC

Overclocking is very easy, especially thanks to the unique OC Genie 4 hardware solution that you launch with a single click of the built-in button. Enhanced performance is aided by both the sophisticated design of the entire PCB and the  Click BIOS 5 and dedicated clock tools and drivers.

Because of the extreme system load, all potentially heat-stressed components are cooled by effective passive coolers. You'll have the power of connected fans under control thanks to Total Fan Control. This board will simply allow you to go to the edge of overclocking, with trouble-free diagnostics and restoring the original settings if you need to.

Flash data transmission

Plug in state-of-the-art graphics cards into the PCI Express 3.0 slots in NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFireX mode. You will enjoy your favourite games to the last pixel. In addition, thanks to the solid frame and the increased number of solder joints, the slots are extremely durable. You do not have to worry about losing the handles of even the toughest graphics cards when moving your PC to a LAN party.

To connect the latest generation of SSD, the existing SATA III ports, as well as the faster M.2 interface, are ideal. Even external drives are not left behind, thanks to the presence of the second-generation USB 3.1, boasting up to 20x faster than the previous version.
