AM4 Socket for Ryzen Builds

This ATX motherboard uses the AMD X470 chipset and a Socket AM4 to support first and second generation Ryzen processors as well as Ryzen APUs and A-series chips. It provides a foundation for gaming or workstation systems that need up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory.

Connectivity and Expansion Layout

Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots run at x16 or x8/x8 with Ryzen CPUs and at x8 with APUs, while a third slot is wired as PCIe 2.0 x16. Storage includes two M.2 interfaces and six SATA III ports. The rear I/O supplies two USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A ports at 10Gbps, four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and six USB 2.0 ports. Audio uses a Realtek ALC892 codec for 7.1 channel output with S/PDIF, and networking is handled by a Realtek 8111H Gigabit LAN controller.

Thermal and Power Behaviour

The board draws power through standard ATX and CPU connectors and relies on the case airflow to cool the chipset and VRM areas. No active cooling is integrated on the board itself, so system fans determine noise levels. Typical operation stays within the thermal limits of the X470 chipset when paired with supported Ryzen processors at stock settings.

Questions about this item

What does the AMD X470 chipset limit for PCIe lane allocation on this board?

With a Ryzen desktop CPU the two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots run at x16/x0 or x8/x8; with a Ryzen with Radeon Vega graphics or A-Series/Athlon they run at x8/x0.

What physical clearance is needed for the ATX form factor and back-panel I/O shield?

The board follows the ATX footprint and includes a separate chassis I/O back panel that must be fitted into the case cut-out before the motherboard is secured.

How is the supplied CMOS battery installed and what step is often missed?

Insert the supplied battery positive-side up into the holder, then remember to set the date and time in UEFI before installing the OS or the system clock will reset on every boot.
