Description

Expert Features ~ OPEN BOX

  • Broad LGA1700 CPU Support : Supports 14th, 13th, and 12th Generation Intel Core processors, plus compatible Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs.
  • Serious 16+1+2 Power Design : Twin Hybrid digital VRM uses an 8+8 parallel VCORE layout, 60A power stages, tantalum polymer capacitors, premium chokes, and solid-pin power connectors.
  • Ultra-Cooled VRM Zone : Fully covered MOSFET heatsinks and 5 W/mK thermal pads help control heat during sustained processor workloads.
  • High-Speed DDR4 Platform : Four DIMM slots support dual-channel DDR4 memory, XMP profiles, speeds up to DDR4-5333 OC, and capacities up to 128GB.
  • Next-Generation PCIe 5.0 : Reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot gives modern graphics cards a high-bandwidth, forward-ready connection.
  • Triple Gen4 M.2 Storage : Three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 connectors support ultra-fast NVMe SSDs, with an enlarged Thermal Guard protecting the primary drive.
  • Six SATA Ports : Connect high-capacity SATA SSDs and hard drives while retaining flexible RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support.
  • Fast 2.5GbE Networking : Realtek 2.5GbE LAN provides faster wired transfers, lower network bottlenecks, and integrated bandwidth-management support.
  • 20Gbps Rear USB-C : USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C delivers transfer speeds up to 20Gbps for compatible high-speed storage and peripherals.
  • Front USB-C Connectivity : Internal USB-C header enables compatible cases to provide a convenient front-panel 5Gbps Type-C connection.
  • Integrated Display Outputs : HDMI 2.1-compatible output and DisplayPort 1.2 support processors equipped with integrated Intel graphics.
  • Smart Fan 6 Cooling Control : Multiple temperature sensors, hybrid fan and pump headers, customizable curves, and Fan Stop deliver intelligent system cooling.
  • RGB Fusion 2.0 : Dual addressable LED headers and dual standard RGB headers support synchronized lighting effects and compatible LED strips.
  • High-Fidelity Audio Design : Realtek HD Audio, high-end capacitors, audio noise isolation, S/PDIF output support, and up to 7.1-channel playback sharpen the sound stage.
  • Q-Flash Plus Recovery Power : Update the BIOS using a USB drive and dedicated button without installing a processor, memory, or graphics card.
  • Ultra Durable Construction : Six-layer PCIe 5.0-ready PCB, 2X copper layers, reinforced slot armor, integrated I/O shield, and solid power connectors strengthen the build.
  • Windows 11 Ready : Supports Windows 11 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit operating systems.
