Benefits

• Unrivaled overclocking headroom: The custom digital-twin VRM topology and onboard Overclocking Kit put serious voltage, frequency, and phase control at your fingertips so you can push Ryzen™ 9000/8000/7000 series processors further and more consistently.
• Gaming uplift with X3D Turbo Mode: Unique BIOS optimization narrows the gap between X3D and non-X3D Ryzen processors, delivering smoother framerates, reduced in-game latency, and a noticeable improvement in real-world gaming performance.
• Next‑generation memory performance: Dual DDR5 DIMMs with AMD EXPO support and tested overclocking profiles enable extreme memory clocks—up to DDR5 9600 MT/s—so your system can extract maximum bandwidth and responsiveness for gaming and content creation.
• Massive, ultra-fast storage options: Three M.2 slots including a PCIe 5.0 x4 ready bay, plus four SATA 6Gb/s ports and robust RAID support for NVMe and SATA, let you build a high-capacity, high-throughput storage ecosystem for load times, streaming assets, and workstation datasets.
• Efficient thermals and reliability under stress: Advanced VRM Thermal Armor, extended M.2 Thermal Guard, and thoughtfully designed airflow paths help keep critical components cool during sustained workloads and extreme overclock runs.
• Premium connectivity and audio: Realtek 5GbE LAN, integrated Wi‑Fi, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type‑C/Type‑A, and the Realtek ALC1220 codec provide low-latency networking, versatile peripheral support, and immersive audio for both competitive play and media creation.
• Builder-friendly, time-saving features: EZ-Latch Plus/Click screwless designs, WIFI EZ-Plug, and a friendly multi-theme BIOS/UI make installation, maintenance, and tuning quicker and cleaner for enthusiasts and system integrators.

Key features

• Feature — Extreme power delivery and overclocking controls: Digital twin 18+2+2 phase VRM solution with precision components and an Exclusive onboard Overclocking Kit gives you granular control over voltage and phase behavior. Combined with new real-time power monitoring (HWinfo support) this platform gives overclockers the data and the hardware to maximize CPU and memory performance.
• Feature — X3D Turbo Mode & memory mastery: Proprietary X3D Turbo Mode optimizations deliver gaming performance enhancements across Ryzen™ 9000 processors. Paired with support for AMD EXPO memory profiles and validated DDR5 overclocks up to 9600 MT/s, the TACHYON ICE squeezes every ounce of throughput from modern DDR5 kits using only two DIMMs for peak stability and single-threaded responsiveness.
• Feature — Expandability and ultra-fast storage: Extensive storage flexibility with 3x M.2 slots (including one PCIe 5.0 x4 ready slot) and 4x SATA 6Gb/s connectors, plus full RAID support (NVMe RAID 0/1/5/10 and SATA RAID 0/1/10), enables lightning-fast boot drives, multi-drive arrays, and professional-level scratch storage for content workflows.
• Feature — Intelligent thermal design and effortless maintenance: VRM Thermal Armor Advanced and M.2 Thermal Guard Extension keep hot components in check while EZ-Latch Plus and EZ-Latch Click provide screwless, quick-release solutions for PCIe and M.2 modules—reducing build time and the risk of damage during upgrades or frequent swaps.
• Feature — Robust connectivity and onboard audio: Built-in Realtek® 5GbE LAN gives you multi-gig networking out of the box, complemented by integrated Wi‑Fi for wireless flexibility. USB 3.2 Gen2 Type‑C and Type‑A ports ensure fast external peripheral speeds, while the Realtek® ALC1220 codec delivers clear, high-fidelity audio suited to gaming, streaming, and voice communications.
