32Gbps M.2 Support
M.2 slot supports up to 2280 and data-transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps via x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth, enabling quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A
Numerous USB ports support gaming rigs loaded with peripherals, including USB Type-A connectors with fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity for compatible cases.

Turbo LAN
Turbo LAN is a network-optimization software for customizable packet prioritization. With cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology, it allows you to configure application priority via an intuitive interface, and reduces network lag.

Outshine the Competition
A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
