Know before you buy
This motherboard is designed specifically for Intel processors using the LGA 2011-v3 socket. It is not compatible with newer Intel CPU sockets, so ensure your processor matches this specific interface.
Yes, it supports up to 128GB of DDR4 memory across its eight DIMM slots, making it well-suited for memory-intensive tasks like video editing or 3D rendering.
It includes both M.2 and U.2 slots, allowing you to utilize high-speed NVMe SSDs for faster boot times and file transfers compared to traditional SATA drives.
The board features 802.11ac Wi-Fi, which provides a stable wireless connection. However, for the most consistent performance during competitive gaming or large file transfers, a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection is still recommended.
SafeSlot is a reinforced PCIe slot engineered by ASUS to provide stronger retention and greater shearing resistance. This is particularly useful if you are using heavy, high-end graphics cards that might otherwise put stress on the motherboard.
5-Way Optimization, paired with Fan Xpert 4, automatically detects your system's thermal profile and adjusts fan speeds in real-time. This ensures your components stay cool under load while minimizing noise during lighter tasks.
