Benefits

• Accelerated AI and LLM workflows: AI Cache Boost optimizes CPU cache and memory pathways to deliver significantly faster local LLM performance, making the board ideal for developers and creators working with on‑device AI.
• Consistent high-end performance: Robust power delivery and thermal-focused design keep modern multi-core Ryzen processors operating at peak frequency and stability, even under sustained loads or aggressive overclocks.
• Extreme memory performance and compatibility: Comprehensive tuning options and support for DDR5 speeds up to 8400+ MT/s (OC) with Ryzen™ 9000 let you extract maximum bandwidth and responsiveness for gaming, rendering, and data-intensive tasks.
• Rich connectivity in a compact form: Micro ATX size (24.4 cm x 24.4 cm) doesn’t mean compromises—this board packs WiFi7, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, USB-C, multiple M.2 slots, and PCIe 5.0 expandability for fast networking, storage, and GPUs.
• Flexible storage and expandability: Three M.2 slots plus SATA ports and multiple PCIe lanes give you a future-forward platform for high-speed NVMe arrays, RAID setups, and multi-device workflows.

Key features

• Feature: AI Cache Boost & Advanced AI PC readiness — Exclusive BIOS tuning designed for ASUS AMD 800 and 600 series motherboards with Ryzen™ 9000 CPUs, AI Cache Boost optimizes cache and memory pathways to accelerate local LLM inference by as much as 29% (with appropriate memory tuning). The platform is prepared for AI workloads, giving developers and power users a responsive on‑system AI experience without sacrificing gaming or productivity performance.
• Feature: Robust digital power architecture — A heavyweight VRM layout with 12(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs and driver packages rated up to 80A. This top-tier delivery ensures efficiency, thermal stability, and consistent voltage under heavy multi-core loads and when pushing CPUs beyond stock frequencies.
• Feature: Industry-leading memory and overclocking controls — Dual DDR5 slots supporting up to 128GB and speeds of 8400+ MT/s (OC) with Ryzen 9000 processors, together with ASUS memory tuning tools (AEMP for non-EXPO kits) and a dedicated Clock Gen for precise BCLK adjustments, provide granular control for maximized bandwidth, tight timings, and stable overclocks.
• Feature: Versatile expansion and storage ecosystem — A full-size PCIe 5.0 x16 slot (supports x16 mode) for next-gen GPUs, plus PCIe 4.0 x16 and x4 slots, and three M.2 slots with two SATA 6Gb/s ports deliver both GPU headroom and multi-drive NVMe configurations. RAID support across Ryzen generations (9000/8000/7000 variants) enables flexible storage tiering and high-performance arrays.
• Feature: Next-generation connectivity and immersive audio — Built-in WiFi7 and a Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet port offer ultra-fast networking for online gaming and large file transfers. Front and rear high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A ports streamline peripherals and external SSDs, while the Realtek 7.1 Surround Sound HD Audio CODEC delivers rich, detailed audio for gaming, streaming, and content creation.
