When we place the motherboard at an angle we see that all new socket SP3 / TR4. It will support all Threadripper processors and is actually based on the SP3 Epyc socket, this is referred to as the server class up-to 32 core processors. The cooler mounting system is the same for both.

Storage ports then -- the board is fitted with 8x SATA3 ports. There is one U2 connector, real-estate that nobody is going be using either really.

The board holds 3x M2 connectors. Just plug them in and secure them with a screw. There is no shielding or anything going on.

If you allow me to nitpick for just one second. I love it when a motherboard is all in style and symmetric, and then when in the factory somebody applies stickers in an angle it just looks all crooked. I know, nitpicking, but I like my details!

As stated, there are three locations for M2 SSDs, the other two around that heatsink and inbetween the PCIe slots. I like that very much. The entire board has RGB LED lighting as we'll show you in some photos. All configurable with software of course.

The memory DIMM slots, the board supports single, dual and quad channel with support for up-to DDR4 3600+ and starts at 2133 MHz memory modules. 8 x DDR4 DIMM sockets can support up-to 128 GB of system memory with Threadripper processors. We recommend 3200 MHz low latency memory (CL14).
