- PCIe: One PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, three additional M.2 slots (PCIe 4.0)
- Networking: Wi‑Fi 7, 2.5 Gb Ethernet

RAM Specifications
32 GB Kit (DDR5‑6400)
- Timings: 32‑40‑40‑84
- CAS Latency: CL32
- Voltage: 1.40 V
64 GB Kit (DDR5‑6000)
- Timings: 36‑36‑36‑76

Buying Advice
- 32 GB bundle: Sufficient for most modern gaming builds and provides a solid price‑to‑performance ratio.
- 64 GB bundle: Ideal if you need extra memory for content creation, heavy multitasking, or future‑proofing, though it costs roughly $300 more for double the capacity and is marginally slower.
Consider your workload and budget when choosing between the two options. The motherboard’s feature set makes either bundle a compelling value for an AM5‑based system.
