Wi-Fi 6E Wireless Solution
Wi-Fi 6E is the latest wireless solution on this board, supporting the 6GHz spectrum, MU-MIMO and BSS colour technology with speeds up to 2400Mbps, so gaming and streaming stay fast even where running an Ethernet cable is impractical. The wireless module is pre-installed in an M.2 Key-E slot and supports 802.11 a, b, g, n, ac and ax, while M.2 Shield Frozr keeps NVMe drives cool to prevent throttling during long sessions.
- Pair a Ryzen 9000 or 7000 Series processor with DDR5 overclocked up to 7800 MHz for a responsive gaming rig.
- Fit two Gen4 NVMe SSDs for the operating system and a game library, noting the second M.2 slot is unavailable with Ryzen 8500 and 8300 Series processors.
- Game over Wi-Fi 6E or the 2.5Gbps LAN port, and use the Flash BIOS Button for firmware updates.
