The ASUS ROG Strix B460-I Gaming in detail
The ASUS ROG Strix B460-I Gaming Mini-ITX motherboard has a PCIe-x16 slot, which is connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes. The two M.2 slots connected via four PCIe 3.0 lanes support the NVMe protocol and, in combination with corresponding M.2 SSDs, enable a data transfer rate of just under 4 GB / s. This is about eight times faster than an SSD connected via SATA 6G! Additional drives such as SSDs, HDDs and optical drives can be connected via four SATA 3.0 ports. A maximum of 64 GB of RAM with a clock speed of up to 2,933 MHz can be accommodated in four DDR4 DIMM slots.

The ASUS ROG Strix B460-I Gaming provides a USB 3.2 port of type C with up to 10 Gbit / s on the I / O panel. Additional peripheral devices can be connected via six USB 3.0 ports and a USB 2.0 socket. A DisplayPort and HDMI connection for image playback via the processor's integrated graphics unit are also located on the I / O panel. The mainboard has five 3.5 mm jack outputs for outputting the on-board sound.

The internal connections include two RGB headers, three fan connections, one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 header for two type A connections.
