Dual Channel Memory Architecture

Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)

OptiMem III

* 10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i9 processors support 2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 natively, others will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2666MHz.

* 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors support 3200/2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 natively.

* Refer to www.asus.com for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists), and memory frequency support depends on the CPU types.

2 x HDMI 2.0

2 x Intel® Thunderbolt™ 4 ports

1 x HDMI™ 2.0**

2 x Intel® Thunderbolt™ 4 ports (USB Type-C®) support DisplayPort 1.2/1.4 and Thunderbolt™ video outputs *

* Graphics specifications may vary between CPU types.

** Only Intel® 11th Core™ processors support HDMI™ 2.0 with max. resolution of 4K@60Hz, others will only support HDMI™ 1.4 with max. resolution of 4K@30Hz .Please refer to www.intel.com for any updates.

2 x PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slot(s)*

- Intel® 11th Core™ processors support PCIe 4.0 x16 or x8/x8 or x8/x4 mode(s)

- Intel®10th Core™ processors support PCIe 3.0 x16 or x8/x8 or x8/x4 mode(s)

1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (supports x4 mode)**

1 x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots

* Supports PCIe bandwidth bifurcation for RAID on CPU function.

**PCIEX16_3 shares bandwidth with SATA6G_12 and SATA6G_34. When PCIEX16_ 3 is populated SATA6G_12 and SATA6G_34 will be disbabled.

When PCIEX16_3 run at default (x2) mode, SATA6G_34 is disabled.

When PCIEX16_3 run at x4 mode, SATA6G_12 and SATA6G_34 are disabled.

Supports NVIDIA 2-Way SLI® Technology*

*Support varies with different graphics cards

Supports 4 x M.2 slots and 6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports

M.2_1 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280/22110

- Only Intel® 11th Core™ processors support PCIe 4.0 x4 mode, this slot will be disabled for other CPUs

M.2_2 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280**

- Intel® 11th Core™ processors support PCIe 4.0 x4 mode

- Intel® 10th Core™ processors support PCIe 3.0 x4 mode

M.2_3 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280 (supports PCIe 3.0 x4 mode)

M.2_4 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280/22110 (supports PCIe 3.0 x4 & SATA modes)*

6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports

Raid function for PCIe mode SSD in Intel® Rapid Storage Technology is available with either 1. Intel® SSDs installed in both CPU-attached and PCH-attached slots, or 2. any other 3rd party SSDs installed in PCH-attached slots.

To enable Intel® Optane™ Memory (Hybrid Storage device), it must be installed in PCH-attached slots with Intel® Rapid Storage Technology.

*When M.2_4 is pupulated, SATA6G_56 will be disabled.

**M.2_2 shares bandwidth with PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2. When M.2_2 is enabled, PCIEX16_1 will run at x8 mode and PCIEX16_2 will run at x4 mode.
