A carbon-finish PCB and steel-reinforced PCIe 3.0 x16 slots protect heavy graphics cards during transport and daily use. The rear panel provides 7.1 channel audio driven by the Realtek ALC1150 codec with S/PDIF out, an Intel I219-V Gigabit LAN controller, two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports, two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and four USB 2.0 ports, while internal headers add four more USB 3.1 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 connections.

Verify CPU cooler clearance

The LGA 1151 socket area follows the standard mounting pattern, so confirm that your cooler fits the board layout and case height. Memory runs in dual-channel up to 64 GB; supported DDR4 frequencies include 2133, 2400, 2600, 2800, 3000, 3200 and 3600 MHz (OC), so choose a kit rated for your target speed. Check that your power supply has the required ATX 24-pin and CPU 8-pin connectors for this platform.
