Powerful power delivery and overclocking potential
The board uses an advanced 14-phase power delivery system with Smart Power Stage technology, which monitors the current and temperature of each phase for optimal power delivery to the processor. The Dr.MOS design ensures stable power delivery with higher performance and better overclocking capabilities. The eight-layer PCB provides more stable signal traces and lower operating temperatures, which guarantees a reliable and high-performance system for the long term. Support for AMD EXPO and Intel XMP enables overclocking of DDR5 memory up to 7200MHz using preset profiles. The Blazing OC Tuner function automatically switches between manual overclocking mode and AMD Precision Boost Overdrive according to the current processor load. This combines the benefits of all-core overclocking with an automatic single-core performance boost for maximum performance.
Fast storage with effective cooling
The motherboard offers three M.2 slots, with the Blazing M.2 slot supporting the PCIe Gen5 standard with double the bandwidth of the previous generation and a transfer speed of up to 128GB/s. Two other slots support PCIe Gen4 for high-speed SSDs. The multi-layer aluminium M.2 heatsink effectively dissipates heat from fast SSDs, ensuring stability and maintaining great performance even under heavy load. For traditional storage, four SATA III ports are available.
Networking and gaming features
The Phantom Gaming 2.5Gb/s LAN adapter provides up to 2.5× more bandwidth than standard gigabit Ethernet, delivering a faster and smoother connection for online gaming, file transfers and streaming. The technology automatically detects and prioritises gaming traffic over other network data for a smoother, stutter-free gaming experience. The Lightning Gaming ports are designed specifically for connecting gaming mice and keyboards with lower latency and jitter. The board is equipped with RGB headers and an addressable RGB header, which let you connect compatible LED devices such as light strips, CPU fans, coolers, PC cases and more. Nahimic Audio technology offers surround sound on all audio devices, a Sound Tracker function for visual indication of in-game sound direction, and advanced algorithms for noise suppression.
