Technical Specifications

Compatibility & Important Information

• The motherboard uses AMD Socket AM5 and officially supports Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 Series desktop processors; always check the ASUS CPU support list for the selected processor and required BIOS version.
• PCIe capabilities vary by processor. Ryzen 9000 and 7000 Series processors support PCIe 5.0 x16 on the primary graphics slot and PCIe 5.0 x4 on M.2_1, while Ryzen 8000 Series processors use different PCIe configurations.
• Supported DDR5 speeds and memory capacity depend on the installed processor, memory modules and DIMM configuration.
• The two PCIe 3.0 x16 physical slots operating at x1 share bandwidth with SATA6G_1/2; the corresponding SATA ports are disabled when these PCIe slots are used.
• 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E availability depends on local regulations and requires Windows 11 or later.
• DisplayPort and HDMI video output capabilities depend on the graphics capabilities of the installed AMD processor.
• The onboard Thunderbolt / USB4 header requires a compatible ASUS add-on card for USB4 connectivity.
