Description

A compact board without compromises

A twin 12+2+1 phase digital VRM with DrMOS and fully covered MOSFET heatsinks give the processor stable power on a compact board. The PCIe 5.0 graphics slot is reinforced (PCIe UD Slot), and EZ-Latch Plus secures the card and a PCIe 5.0 M.2 drive without screws. A USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 header serves the front panel.

Who this motherboard is for

Builders of a compact white AM5 PC who do not want to give up four memory slots, fast networking or a strong VRM. A micro-ATX board fits both micro-ATX and ATX cases. The directional antenna and WIFI EZ-Plug make Wi-Fi setup simple.
