The socket is suitable for the Haswell-E generation of Intel Core i7 processors. Furthermore, the board supports a maximum of 64GB DDR4 memory and there are, for example, five PCI-E 2.0 slots or three PCI-E 3.0 and two PCI-E 2.0.

By providing almost the entire motherboard with a fan cover to optimally control the airflow, all components must be optimally cooled. New Thermal Radar 2 software allows the user to control up to 11 fans in addition to fans on graphics cards.
