Core Hardware Support
- Chipset: AMD B840 – a newer B-series, perfect for mid-high range builds.
- Socket: AM5 – futureproof and compatible with the latest Ryzen desktop CPUs (7000/8000/9000).
- CPU Support: Fully compatible with Ryzen 9000 series and down — solid for gaming, creation, or productivity builds.
Memory (RAM)
- Type: DDR5 only.
- Capacity: 4 DIMM slots, up to 256GB — great for workstations or future scaling.
- OC Support: Crazy fast speeds — up to 8000+ MT/s with optimal setups.
- Dual-channel & AMD EXPO support: Ensures performance and overclocking flexibility.
PCIe & Expansion
- PCI-E 4.0 x16 (from CPU): For GPU — Ryzen 9000/7000 get full 16 lanes.
- Additional PCIe 3.0 slots: Perfect for capture cards, sound cards, or other add-ons.
- Good separation for airflow and dual-GPU (if needed).
Storage
- 2x M.2 (Gen 4), 4x SATA: Great mix of NVMe and traditional storage.
- RAID 0/1 support for M.2: Good for speed redundancy, especially for boot or work drives.
Connectivity
- USB: Plenty of ports, with modern USB 10Gbps Type-C on rear & front.
- LAN: Realtek 2.5G — solid speed for most use-cases.
- Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4: Future-ready, but fully supported in Win 11 24H2 (keep that in mind for OS planning).
Audio
- Realtek ALC897: Decent onboard audio, though not audiophile-tier — good for gaming and casual use.
Lighting & Headers
- Multiple RGB + ARGB headers (JRGB, JARGB_V2) for syncing fans, strips, and other bling.
- EZ Debug LEDs — super helpful for diagnosing boot/post issues quickly.
