Moving to the bottom half of the board, we see the audio section in all its unshrouded glory. It has an audio separation line and a few yellow capacitors dedicated to audio surrounding the Realtek ALC897 codec. While the codec is dated, most users will still find this an adequate solution. x DIMM, Max. 192GB, DDR5 7600+(OC)/7200(OC)/7000(OC)/6800(OC)/6600(OC)/6400(OC)/6200(OC)/6000(OC)/5800(OC)/5600(OC)/5400(OC)/5200/5000/4800 Moving past the pushpin-connected chipset heatsink to the right edge are three (of four) horizontally oriented SATA ports. The fourth SATA port is oriented vertically along the bottom edge of the board. If you’d like to RAID these drives, the board supports RAID0/1/10 modes here, too. x DIMM, Max. 128GB, DDR5 6400+(OC)/6200(OC)/6000(OC)/5800(OC)/5600(OC)/5400(OC)/5200/5000/4800 ECC and Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory* Max boost for AMD Ryzen processors is the maximum frequency achievable by a single core on the processor running a bursty single-threaded workload. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS updates.

Moving to the right, just before the DRAM slots, we find the first three (of six) 4-pin fan headers. The CPU and Chassis fan headers are Q-Fan controlled, supporting DC and PWM fans. Each header outputs 1A/12W, which should be fine for most users, but be careful with custom water cooling and pumps as they can draw more than 12W. You can control these devices through the BIOS and Armoury Crate/AI Suite 3 software within Windows. Supported memory types, data rate(Speed), and number of DRAM modules vary depending on the CPU and memory configuration, for more information refer to www.asus.com for memory support list. Across the bottom of the board are several exposed headers. You’ll find the typical stuff here, including additional USB, RGB, and 4-pin fan headers. Below is a complete list from left to right:
