Why this product
DDR5 overclocking with Intel XMP profiles
Four DDR5 DIMM slots support speeds up to 8666+ MHz through pre-tested profiles. Enable overclocking without manual tuning by selecting a profile in the BIOS.
PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 storage
One PCIe Gen5 M.2 slot delivers 128 Gb/s throughput for the fastest NVMe drives. Two additional Gen4 M.2 slots and four SATA ports provide flexibility for multiple storage devices.
2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E
The 2.5 Gigabit LAN delivers 2.5× the bandwidth of standard Ethernet. Wi-Fi 6E adds 6 GHz band support for faster wireless speeds where available.
USB 3.2 Gen2x2 for fast peripherals
A rear USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port supports up to 20 Gbps data transfer, doubling the speed of earlier USB 3.2 Gen1 ports.
10+1+1+1+1 power phases with Dr.MOS
Dedicated power delivery for CPU core, graphics, system agent and other rails ensures stable overclocking and sustained performance under load.
