Questions about this item

Will the motherboard support Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors out of the box?

The board uses the X870E chipset and AM5 socket, which are built for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series CPUs, so the included 9950X and any other AM5 chip will work without a BIOS update.

What DDR5 memory speeds can I run on this combo?

The motherboard is rated for DDR5-9200+ MT/s when overclocked, while the 9950X officially supports DDR5-5600; faster kits will run at their XMP/EXPO profiles if the board and CPU can handle them.

How many high-speed M.2 drives can I install and what speeds do they run at?

You get two native Gen5 x4 slots at 128 Gbps, two more Gen5 x4 slots via the included M.2 XPANDER-Z SLIDER GEN5 card, plus two Gen4 x4 and one Gen4 x2 slot for additional drives.
