How does the High-Power GPU Slot work?

This slot can deliver up to 600 watts directly to a compatible BTF graphics card through the motherboard, eliminating the need for separate, visible PCIe power cables from the PSU.

What types of storage interfaces are available?

The motherboard supports multiple storage drives through four SATA III connectors and five onboard M.2 slots, three of which are PCIe 5.0.

Does it include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

Yes, it features Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) for high-speed wireless connectivity and Bluetooth 5.4 for peripheral support.

What are the benefits of the AI features?

ASUS AI features like AI Cooling II, AI Overclocking, and AI Networking II help optimize system performance, thermal management, and network connectivity automatically or with intuitive guidance.

Troubleshooting

System does not power on

Verify all power connections are secure, including the 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS connectors. Ensure the PSU switch is in the 'on' position and try a different wall outlet.

No display output

Confirm the monitor is connected to the graphics card (if installed) and not the motherboard's video outputs. Reseat the graphics card and check RAM installation.

DDR5 RAM not recognized or unstable

Ensure RAM modules are fully seated in the DIMM slots. Check the motherboard manual for the correct slot configuration for dual-channel operation. Update BIOS to the latest version, as it often includes memory compatibility improvements.

BTF GPU power connection not working

Verify that the graphics card is a compatible BTF model and is correctly seated. Ensure the motherboard's BTF power pathways are not obstructed.

Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity issues

Install the latest network drivers from the ASUS support website. Check network adapter settings in the operating system and ensure network cables are properly connected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Begin by installing the CPU and RAM into the designated slots. For the full BTF experience, ensure your graphics card and any other necessary components are BTF compatible. Mount the motherboard in your PC case, connecting front panel headers and essential power connectors. Utilize the rear-facing connectors for a cleaner build aesthetic. Refer to the manual for detailed wiring diagrams.

Compatibility: This motherboard uses the AMD Socket AM5 and is compatible with AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 Series processors. It supports DDR5 memory up to 256GB. Ensure your power supply unit (PSU) has sufficient wattage for your high-performance components, especially if using a high-power GPU.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean dust from heatsinks and fan surrounds using compressed air. Avoid using liquids directly on the motherboard. Periodically check BIOS updates for performance improvements and new feature support. Ensure all internal connections are secure.
