Power and performance
Stable system operation is ensured by a power phase design with a 6+1+1 layout and Dr.MOS technology, which optimises synchronous voltage regulation and thermal efficiency. The six-layer PCB contributes to better signal integrity and lower operating temperatures, which is crucial for stability under high loads. The board has two slots for DDR5 memory with support for dual-channel configuration and both XMP and EXPO profiles. Memory modules with frequencies up to 8200+MHz (OC) and a total capacity of 128GB are available.
Slots and storage
For installing a graphics card, there is a primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, which is equipped with a reinforced steel structure for securely holding heavier cards and protecting the signal. Storage options include four SATA III ports and two M.2 slots for fast SSDs. The main Blazing M.2 slot uses the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface with a theoretical throughput of up to 128Gb/s, while the second Hyper M.2 slot operates on the PCIe 4.0 x4 standard. The board also includes an M.2 Key E slot ready for installing a Wi-Fi module.
Connectivity and audio
Network connectivity is provided by the Dragon 2.5Gb Ethernet controller, which offers significantly higher transfer speeds than a standard gigabit solution. The rear panel provides a wide range of ports including USB-C 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI 2.1, and DisplayPort 1.4 for connecting high-resolution monitors. The audio is handled by a 7.1-channel Realtek ALC897 codec enhanced with Nahimic Audio technology, which optimises the listening experience. A BIOS Flashback function is available for easy system management and updates.

Choosing a motherboard
When choosing a motherboard (or mainboard), it's important to pay particular attention to the motherboard's socket type, format, and chipset. These parameters are among the most crucial and ensure the board's compatibility with the processor, expansion cards, and other components. The specific socket determines the choice of a suitable processor, while the remaining connectors will dictate the selection of other components for your future computer.Specifications
