Questions about this item

How do I confirm the AI Overclocking and AI Cooling II features are active after I build the system?

Enter the UEFI BIOS dashboard and check that AI Overclocking and AI Cooling II show as enabled; the integrated MemTest86 can also be run from there to verify memory stability.

Which accessories are included and which ones must I source separately?

The package supplies the motherboard, I/O shield and original box; all other accessories are not guaranteed, so plan to obtain any additional cables, mounting hardware or the ROG Hyper M.2 card separately.

Which specification differences should guide my choice between the available versions of this board?

This model provides an LGA 1700 socket for 13th and 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs, 20+1 teamed power stages rated at 90 A, WiFi 6E, Intel 2.5G Ethernet, PCIe 5.0 on the bundled ROG Hyper M.2 card plus four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, and a one-year AIDA64 Extreme subscription.
