This way, you combine the power of your new CPU with your current RAM modules, in combination with PCIe 5.0 slots. You can create a RAM of up to 128GB with the 4 available DDR4 RAM slots, which provides enough power for intense multitasking. In addition, you have 3 M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots available. With these, you can create super fast storage space. For other components, you have a 1 PCIe 5.0 slot on your CPU. The different heatsinks and thermal pads ensure a good dissipation of heat and warm air, so your components remain cool. In terms of your internet connection, you can reach up to 2.5Gbps via the LAN port. That means you're always guaranteed to have a fast internet connection. In addition, this motherboard has multiple ports for a fast connection between your computer and accessories. For example, the shield has a USB-C 3.2 port and multiple standard USB-A ports.

Listed on site as suitable for 13th generation Intel CPUs (Raptor Lake). After building with an i5 13600 the board won't boot, doesn't even POST. It turns out that you first have to install a 12 gen CPU, mount everything, boot and perform a firmware flash. After that 13 gen apparently works if you have rebuilt everything. A waste of effort, tear and wear and thermal paste. Sent the board back and bought an MSI board.
