It is the successor to the popular Pro Gaming boards. It offers great equipment supporting all the current modern features. One of its distinguishing features is a perfect fanless cooling system for important components, including the space for M.2 SSDs.

In addition, you will also appreciate the Aura Sync lighting with an RGB trim at the bottom of the board.

Just like in any modern motherboard, even here you will find a dual M.2 interface for fast SSDs (the second slot is at the bottom of the board).
