MEMORY FOR YOUR WORKLOAD
Room for games and larger projects
Four DDR5 slots support up to 256GB, giving you capacity options for gaming, editing and demanding applications. Intel XMP support and ASUS memory tuning tools help you configure compatible kits.
Choose memory from the ASUS compatibility list. Supported speeds depend on your processor, memory kit and the number of modules installed.
COOLING AND CONTROL
Set the cooling balance that suits you
Large heatsinks cover the power components and all six M.2 positions. Connections for case fans and liquid cooling let you organize airflow around your chosen parts.
Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II helps manage fan behavior, so you can adjust the balance between cooling and noise.
SPACE FOR YOUR LIBRARY
Keep games, projects and files organized
Six onboard M.2 slots give you room to separate your operating system, game library and working files across different SSDs. Four SATA ports provide additional drive connections.
Plan SSD placement before assembly: using M.2_3 or M.2_4 changes the main graphics slot from x16 to x8. The FAQ below explains this shared connection.
DESK AND NETWORK CONNECTIONS
Connect more of your everyday setup
Two Thunderbolt 4 ports support compatible docks and external storage. Eight rear USB-A ports and another USB-C port leave room for your keyboard, mouse, microphone and other accessories.
WiFi 7 comes alongside separate 5Gb and 2.5Gb Ethernet ports. The included WiFi antenna and Bluetooth support give you wireless options too.
ROG STYLE
A dark finish with lighting you control
Black and charcoal surfaces frame the illuminated ROG logo. Polymo Lighting II adds animated effects, while Aura Sync lets you coordinate lighting with compatible components.
BUILD AND SETUP
Helpful details from the first assembly
A pre-mounted rear shield and convenient graphics-card and SSD release features help with assembly and upgrades. Onboard diagnostic indicators assist when checking startup problems.
The package includes the WiFi antenna, four SATA cables, an RGB extension cable, a DDR5 fan holder, mounting accessories, a driver USB drive and a quick start guide.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
A few useful answers
Which processors can I use?
This board supports Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors using LGA1851. Check the ASUS CPU support list for the required BIOS version. Older LGA1700 processors are not compatible.
How much RAM does it support?
Up to 256GB across four DDR5 slots. Memory is sold separately, and DDR4 modules are not compatible.
Are all six M.2 slots built into the motherboard?
Yes. All six are onboard: three support PCIe 5.0 SSDs and three support PCIe 4.0 SSDs.
Can an SSD change the graphics-card connection?
Yes. Enabling M.2_3 or M.2_4 makes the main PCIe 5.0 graphics slot operate at x8 instead of x16 because these connections share bandwidth.
What is required for full WiFi 7 support?
Use a compatible WiFi 7 router, suitable drivers and Windows 11 24H2 or later. Access to 6GHz and 320MHz channels depends on local regulations.
