Know before you buy
This motherboard features the AM5 socket, making it specifically designed for AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series desktop processors.
The board is built exclusively for DDR5 memory. Ensure you have DDR5 RAM modules, as older DDR4 sticks will not fit in the slots.
Yes, it uses the Micro-ATX (mATX) form factor. It is a great middle-ground option that fits in smaller cases while still offering more expansion slots than a Mini-ITX board.
Yes, the motherboard comes with integrated Wi-Fi 6, allowing you to connect to wireless networks without needing an additional adapter or PCIe card.
Yes, the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot is backward compatible. You can use older PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 NVMe SSDs in that slot, though they will operate at their native speed rather than the maximum PCIe 5.0 speed.
The board includes dedicated VRM and PCH heatsinks to manage heat during heavy workloads. It also features hybrid fan headers, allowing you to easily manage and customize your cooling setup through the BIOS or software.
