Know before you buy
This is a Mini-ITX motherboard, which is the smallest standard size. You will need a Mini-ITX compatible case to ensure the mounting holes and port layout align correctly.
Yes, this board supports both ECC and non-ECC memory. However, keep in mind that ECC functionality is dependent on the specific AMD processor you pair with the board.
Yes, the board supports memory speeds up to 3466+ MHz via overclocking. You can easily adjust these settings within the BIOS to get the most out of your high-speed DDR4 modules.
No, this model does not feature integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You will need to use an Ethernet cable for internet connectivity or install a separate PCIe or USB wireless adapter.
Yes, the 8-phase power design is built to handle 105W processors reliably. Because this is a compact board, we recommend using a water cooling solution to keep temperatures stable during heavy workloads.
You can connect up to four SATA3 storage drives. The board also supports RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations, allowing you to prioritize either data speed or redundancy.
