Q: How many M.2 slots are there on this motherboard?

A: This motherboard has 3 M.2 slots.

Q: What type of audio does this motherboard support?

A: This motherboard comes with ROG SupremeFX 7.1 Surround Sound High Definition Audio.

Q: What kind of socket does this motherboard use for the processor?

A: This motherboard uses the Intel LGA 1700 socket.

Q: Is this motherboard compatible with Intel processors?

A: Yes, it is compatible with 13th Gen and 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron Processors.

Q: Does this motherboard have built-in Wi-Fi?

A: Yes, this motherboard comes with Intel WiFi 6E (802.11ax).

Q: What is the maximum memory supported by this motherboard?

A: The maximum memory supported is 128 gigabytes.

Q: After installing the board, the Q-code goes to code 55 - no memory installed. I have installed DDR5 memory in a single and multiple slots. It still gives to code 55. Also, the display won't come up. Can you help with this?

A: I have exactly the same problem and have also tried different memory configs (2x32GB 6400, 1x32GB, 2x16 5400, 1x16 5400, etc.). Research shows the error 55 problem has plagued ASUS motherboards for years. Very disappointed and will exchange for something else.

Q: CAN MY 4090 FIT

A: The 4090 works with this motherboard but you lose access to the 2nd pcie slot because the card is so big and because the card is so big you have to check if it will even fit inside a case. I use the Lian Li dynamic xl it has room for everything it’s a massive case and mine has 10x120mm fans and room left over for a full liquid cooling loop for a cpu.
