In terms of PCI-E and M.2 connectivity, we get an M.2 NVMe and PCI-E x16 slot at the top of the board, these are fed by the AMD Ryzen 3rd Gen. CPU and operate on the 4.0 interface. The three PCI-E x1 and single PCI-E x16 slot below those are plumbed into the B550 chipset nearby and operate on PCI-E 3.0. The bottom M.2 slot is also the same. Both NVMe slots can operate on the SATA or NVMe interfaces.


In the bottom-left of the motherboard is an isolated section housing the onboard soundcard. Sound processing is done through the SupremeFX audio chip with premium Nichicon audio capacitors that provide a warmer, natural sound. Dual OP amplifiers are utilised for driving individual stereo cans with impedance ratings between 32 and 600Ω.
