• Massive capacity for AI: supports the installation of 4 RAM modules with a total capacity of up to 256GB! This capacity is ideal for training artificial intelligence models, heavy rendering, and running servers.
  
• Supports AMD EXPO™ and XMP technologies for easy frequency adjustment.

3. Ultra-Fast Network Connection (Networking) – The Strongest Feature!

This board is designed for transferring big data (Big Data):

• Two 10GbE LAN ports: Yes, not one port but two Marvell® AQtion ports at 10 gigabits! Perfect for connecting NAS devices or functioning as a very fast local server.
• Completely new Wi-Fi 7: The Realtek® RTL8922AE chip supports the 802.11be standard and ultra-fast speeds at 6GHz, with Bluetooth 5.4.
  

4. Storage and Expansion

• PCIe 5.0 Speed: The main graphics card slot and the two M.2 slots support PCIe 5.0 speed (with Ryzen 9000/7000 processors), giving you double the speed of the previous generation of cards and future storage devices.
• M.2 Ports: It has 3 M.2 ports for installing ultra-fast SSDs, in addition to 4 SATA ports.
  

5. Audio and User Experience (Audio & Connectivity)

• Pure Sound: The Realtek® ALC1220 audio chip supports surround sound and DSD format for audiophiles.
• Advanced USB ports:
  • The rear USB Type-C® port supports data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps (with Ryzen 8000 processors) and functions as a 4K display output.
  • A large number of USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports to connect all your peripherals.

6. Design and Durability

• Standard ATX form factor: (30.5 cm × 24.4 cm) with a design that ensures excellent thermal distribution and compatibility with most professional cases.
  
• Additional features: Q-Flash Plus button for BIOS updates without a processor, and smart temperature and noise sensors to keep the system quiet.
