The rear panel features a Thunderbolt 4 port that can transfer up to 40 Gb/s with compatible devices or connect a USB-C compatible 8K display. The one 10 Gb/s USB-A port is accompanied by two 5 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports. An internal header allows you to connect a front panel 20 Gb/s USB-C port. You may use the four USB-A 2.0 ports with keyboards, mice, and other peripherals. Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support, along with a 5 Gb/s Ethernet port, provide you with connections to compatible network devices for smooth video streaming and low-latency online games.
EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II The toolless design makes installing or removing your M.2 SSD and Shield Frozr easy. Extended Heat Sink Design An extended PWM heat sink and enhanced circuit design help to ensure high-end processors operate at maximum speeds. Flash BIOS Flash the BIOS with only a connected power supply and a flash drive. No CPU or memory required. Thunderbolt 4 In addition to transferring up to 40 Gb/s with a reversible USB-C connector, Thunderbolt 4 supports up to one 8K monitor or two 4K displays simultaneously. It also works with 20 Gb/s USB4 and you can daisy chain up to six devices to a single port. Wi-Fi 7 Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) introduces higher speeds, wider channels, improved efficiency, and reduced latency over Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), with maximum speeds of up to 5.8 Gb/s. Utilizing 320 MHz on the 6 GHz band ensures reliability during simultaneous transmissions at max speeds and the 4096 QAM boosts peak transmission rates and network capacity. Multi-Link Operation enables devices to simultaneously send and receive data across several frequency bands and channels to meet traffic demands and the growing number of wireless devices. PCIe 5.0 Doubling the speed of the previous generation, the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface can reach 128 GB/s. Core Boost A premium layout and optimized power design helps to ensure reliable performance. Audio Boost The integrated audio system immerses you in crystal clear virtual 7.1 surround sound. UPC: 824142381465
