Questions about this item

Does the combo include memory, storage or a cooler, or must those be bought separately?

The bundle supplies the motherboard and the Ryzen 5 9600X processor only; DDR5 memory, M.2 drives and a CPU cooler are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which DDR5 speed should I choose for the Ryzen 5 9600X in this board?

The processor officially supports DDR5-5600; the motherboard adds AEMP optimisation and EXPO profiles so kits rated at 5600 MT/s or higher will run at their rated speed when enabled in the BIOS.

What does the 5.4 GHz max boost clock mean for everyday gaming?

The 6-core, 12-thread Zen 5 chip can reach 5.4 GHz on light loads, helping it deliver 100+ FPS in popular titles, while the 38 MB cache keeps frame times smooth during heavier scenes.
