1 DDR5 Memory 2 Steady Power 3 Connectivity

Comprehensive Thermal Premium VRM Thermal Armor for Superior Cooling

4X larger surface area for enhanced heat dissipation5 W/mK thermal pad for efficient thermal conductivitySuperior Heatpipe for optimal heat transfer M.2 Thermal Guard

The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.

RL-ILM design

The RL-ILM (Reduced Load-independent loading mechanisms) significantly improves thermal performance up to 4°C and avoids possible bending of the CPU IHS (integrated heat spreader), allowing overclockers and enthusiasts to push their CPUs beyond the limit without any worries.
