The Micro-ATX form factor makes it easier to install in smaller cases, reducing your desktop footprint without compromising performance. Four DDR5 RAM slots allow you to install up to 128GB of memory to enhance multitasking and render speeds. Four SATA III and two M.2 PCIe SSD interfaces can support a wide range of storage drives that allow quicker data transfer speeds. Between back-panel connections and internal headers, you get USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 support, designed for devices such as keyboards and mice as well as resource-demanding devices like audio interfaces, external storage arrays, and more. Support a wide range of legacy components with the built-in PS/2 combo adapter, internal serial header, and even a VGA video-out port.

Performance Enhanced

The PRIME provides users with a solid foundation, leveraging AMD`s 7000 Series Ryzen processors and DDR5 memory modules to produce enhanced computing, multitasking, and rendering performance across the board. M.2 storage interfaces sport PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 speeds for storage drives, leading to quicker loading times. Three expansion slots use PCIe 4.0 technology with one x16 slot and two x16 in x1 mode, allowing you to utilize a wide range of graphics and utility cards with ease. You also get a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 internal header for instant front-panel access for resource-demanding peripherals such as external drives. Connect to your wired network with 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, giving you access to your business` cloud storage and NAS setups.
