Power and cooling for maximum performance

The motherboard uses a premium power solution with a mirrored 16+1+1 phase layout and 90A Smart Power Stage, which can handle even the most demanding processors with ease. Dual 8-pin CPU power connectors with Solid Pin technology ensure a stable power supply even under heavy loads. The extended heatsink covers the top of the VRM and, together with 7W/mK thermal pads for MOSFETs and additional choke pads, efficiently dissipates heat. M.2 Shield Frozr technology protects SSDs from overheating and throttling, maintaining their maximum speed. The motherboard offers a dedicated water pump connector with support for up to 3A, strategically placed fan connectors, and a clearly marked Keep-Out Zone for easy water cooling installation.

Hassle-free installation and user-friendliness

Assembling components is made as simple as possible thanks to the DIY 2.0 solution. The magnetic M.2 Shield Frozr with patented technology and the EZ M.2 Clip enable completely tool-free installation of M.2 drives. A pre-installed stainless steel I/O Shield with an anti-corrosion finish and a foam layer improves protection against static electricity and electromagnetic interference. An XL Clip for graphics cards and a marked Keep-Out Zone make PC building easier, even for less experienced users. The corrosion-resistant I/O Shield is significantly more durable than traditional versions and provides long-term reliability.

Choosing a motherboard

When choosing a motherboard (also known as a mainboard), it's important to pay close attention to the socket type, form factor, and chipset. These are the most critical parameters, ensuring the board is compatible with the processor, expansion cards, and other components. The specific socket determines your choice of processor, while the other connectors will dictate the selection of further components for your future PC.

Dobrý den, mám čistou instalaci W 11 home a když se mi načítá Windows, tak čekám třeba půl minuty než se mi načte Lan a připojí se k internetu. Driver je aktuální a byl i přeinstalován. Bios je také nejnovější. Je to normální a nebo je to chyba v desce?

Dobry den, Mam tuto dosku s i5-14600K a zrazu mu zacal padat Windows 11 PRO do ROZNYCH Blue screenov. MEMtest OK, HD TUNE Pro je takisto OK, Samsung Magician ( Test Disk ) je taktiez OK aj VGA (RTX4070Ti) je OK - po cistejtej fresh instalacii Win11PRO sa to opakuje tiez. v BIOSe nieje zapnuty OC profile ani XMP a je flashnuty najnovsi firmware BIOSU vsetko je Default a stale to pada do roznych Blue screenov. Je mozne ze je chybna doska ? Pravdepodobne si myslim ze je to na reklamaciu. Dakujem za odpoved.

zdravím,chcem sa opýtať kúpil som si túto základnú dosku,a na krabici je že podporuje Intel 12 a 13 generácie,pôjde mi aj Intel I5 14600kf bez fleshu BIOSU? ďakujeme za odpoveď.

Dobrý den, koupila jsem si tuto zd ale není tam žádný instalační CD. Můžete mi ho dodat ? Výbava je 2x šroubek, 1x redukce a 2x sata kabel, 1x zahnutý a 1x rovný. Celkem chudá výbava. Děkuji.

https://m.alza.cz/samsung-990-pro-1tb-heatsink-d7687445.htm Tento ssd disk. Není placatý. Jaké má označení ten Windows 11 nový build s drivery ? Děkuji.

Dobrý den, 1. vejde se sem m2 ssd samsung 990 pro s chladičem? Jak tady někdo píše, má plastové rámečky. 2. Nevíte jestli už mají Windows 11 implementovaný driver síťové karty ? V recenzi tady někdo psal že ještě nebyl. Děkuji.

Dobrý deň, má doska updatnuty bios na 14 generáciu Intelov?
