WiFi 6 With 2.5Gb Ethernet Fallback

WiFi 6 covers everyday wireless gaming and streaming, while the 2.5Gb Ethernet port is there for the desk setup where a wired link is available, so the same board adapts to either network layout without an add-in card.

1. Install a Ryzen 9000, 8000 or 7000 Series processor within the 170W limit.

2. Populate the four DDR5 slots for dual-channel memory up to 192GB.

3. Fit a graphics card in the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and use the x1-mode slots for add-in cards.

4. Place the primary NVMe SSD in the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, add a second drive in the PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot, and connect over WiFi 6 or 2.5Gb Ethernet.
