Good to know

This board does not include Wi-Fi or Bluetooth; use the Gigabit Ethernet port for networking. It supports non-ECC, unbuffered DDR5 memory only. For integrated graphics, the HDMI 2.1 port can output up to 4K@60Hz, while DisplayPort 1.4 supports higher refresh rates. The VGA port is handy for legacy monitors. The M.2 slot shares bandwidth with SATA? No—the M.2 slot uses PCIe lanes, so all four SATA ports remain available simultaneously.
