Memory
This motherboard is built with an optimised trace layout for improved memory stability. Please note that different processors will have different supported RAM speeds.

Cooling
There are multiple temperature sensors and fan headers on this motherboard for monitoring system temperature and cooling.

Asus Aura Sync
Asus Aura Sync provides your system with some customisable RGB LED lighting. Use it to control built-in lighting, LED strips, and even other Aura Sync-compatible gear.

M.2
There are two M.2 slots on this motherboard, one of which supports the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface for speeds of up to 32 Gb/s. You can also set up a RAID with two M.2 drives or a M.2 drive and a PCIe card. To help reduce temperatures, one of the slots is equipped with a heatsink that can prevent throttling and increase longevity.

SafeSlot
SafeSlot is a reinforced PCIe slot with enhanced retention and shearing resistance to keep expansion cards firmly in place.

Realtek S1220A 8-Channel HD Audio
