It’s a strong fit for overclocking unlocked Intel chips, high‑speed DDR5 builds with four DIMM slots (up to 192 GB), and expansion‑heavy PCs thanks to a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and four M.2 NVMe sockets. Connectivity includes Intel 2.5 GbE, Wi‑Fi 6, rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type‑C plus a front Gen 2 Type‑C header, and a Thunderbolt 4 (USB4) add‑in header.
