- Supports Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors with LGA1851 socket and Intel 200S Boost technology for enhanced performance
- Robust 16+1+1+1+1 phase power design with integrated Dr.MOS circuits, durable capacitors, and Hi-Density connectors for stable overclocking
- Four DDR5 slots with dual-channel support up to 9066MHz (OC) and Memory OC Shield technology, which reduces electromagnetic interference and increases stability during overclocking
- High-speed storage with one Blazing M.2 PCIe Gen5 x4 slot at 128Gb/s and three Hyper M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 slots
- Two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports with USB4 support, offering transfer speeds up to 40Gb/s, DisplayPort output, and single-cable connection for external devices
- Advanced cooling with aluminium heatsinks on the VRM and an XXL M.2 heatsink with additional bottom cooling that dissipates heat directly through the PCB with 2oz copper layers
Powerful supply and stability
The board uses an advanced power solution with a 16+1+1+1+1 power phase configuration featuring Dr.MOS technology, which intelligently delivers higher current for each phase, ensuring better thermal properties and higher performance. Durable 1000uF capacitors provide higher charge accumulation, lower voltage ripple, and a more stable output current, increasing system reliability and stability under heavy loads. The Hi-Density power connectors are designed to withstand higher currents than traditional connectors, reducing the risk of overheating during overclocking.
Memory support and protection
The board supports four DDR5 modules in dual-channel with frequencies up to 9066MHz when overclocked and is compatible with both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles. The patented Memory OC Shield protects memory modules from electromagnetic interference and optimises signal layout, which increases stability and reliability during high-frequency operation.
High-speed storage and cooling
For storage, the board offers one Blazing M.2 slot with PCIe Gen5 x4 support, which achieves transfer speeds of up to 128Gb/s and is ready for future ultra-fast SSDs. There are also two Hyper M.2 slots with PCIe Gen4 x4 and one Hyper M.2 with PCIe Gen4 x4 and SATA3, providing twice the speed of the previous generation. All M.2 slots are equipped with extended XXL aluminium heatsinks that effectively dissipate heat and keep SSDs at an optimal temperature to ensure maximum performance and stability. The bottom M.2 heatsink dissipates heat directly through the motherboard's PCB, further improving thermal management.
Expandability and connectivity
For further expansion, there are four SATA III ports, one steel-reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, two PCIe 4.0 x4 slots, and one PCIe 4.0 x1 slot. The rear panel features two Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C ports with transfer speeds up to 40Gb/s, which let you connect external monitors, Thunderbolt devices, and USB devices with a single cable.

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