The presence of four slots for installing DDR5-6600 memory modules allows you to install up to 128 GB of RAM into the system, which with enough head for resource-intensive tasks of almost any complexity. Moreover, the memory simultaneously supports both competing RAM overclocking technologies - Intel XMP and AMD EXPO.

M.2 slots are covered with heatsinks to prevent overheating of hot memory controllers . To create a complex disk subsystem, the board has a built-in RAID controller. The Realtek 2.5GbE LAN controller with a built-in wireless module (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth v 5.2) is responsible for processing network traffic.
