|
AMD CrossFire Support Indicates whether the product supports AMD CrossFire technology, which allows multiple graphics cards to work together for improved performance. The value is a textual description such as "2-Way CrossFire", "3-Way CrossFire", "Supported" or "Not Supported".
|
2-Way CrossFire |
|
Audio A list of the audio codecs, channel configurations, and related technologies that a product can play or output. Each value may combine a codec name (e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS‑HD), a channel count (e.g., 5.1, 7.1), and optional qualifiers such as "High Definition" or "Virtual Surround" to describe the exact audio capability of the device.
|
8-Channel(7.1) HD Audio with Audio Boost |
|
Chipset The chipset is the collection of integrated circuits that manages communication between a computer’s CPU, memory, and peripheral devices. It defines the supported processor families, available I/O interfaces, and overall system capabilities, allowing users to understand compatibility and feature sets for motherboards or other hardware components.

Intel Z390 |
|
CPU Socket The physical connector used by a processor to attach to a motherboard or other compatible platform, such as LGA 1151, BGA 1440, Socket AM4, or LGA 1200. This attribute indicates the exact socket designation required for proper CPU installation and compatibility with other hardware components.
|
1151 |
|
Form factor Specifies the physical configuration or design of a product, such as ATX, Micro‑ATX, Mini‑ITX, tower, case with cover, etc. It describes how the device is built and what mounting or expansion options it supports.
|
ATX |
|
Maximum memory capacity The largest amount of random‑access memory that a motherboard can support, expressed as a data size such as megabytes or gigabytes. It indicates the upper limit of memory capacity for active processes and multitasking performance on systems using this board.
|
64GB (4x16GB) |
|
Memory speed The maximum operating frequency of a memory module, expressed in hertz (Hz). It indicates how many cycles per second the RAM can perform and is typically reported as MHz or GHz. This value helps users compare performance potential across different memory types and system configurations.
|
DDR4 - 2133 DDR4 - 2400 DDR4 - 2666 DDR4 - 4400(OC) |
|
Memory type The classification of the memory technology used in a device, such as DDR4 SDRAM, LPDDR3, GDDR6, or other variants. It indicates the architecture and generation of the RAM modules installed or supported by the product.
|
DDR4 |
|
Memory Type ECC Indicates whether the memory module supports Error‑Correcting Code (ECC) technology, which can detect and correct single-bit errors during operation.
|
Non-ECC |
|
Memory Type R/U The type of memory module used in a computer system, indicating whether it is Registered (R) or Unbuffered (U). This attribute helps determine compatibility with motherboards and the expected performance characteristics of the RAM.
|
UDIMM (Unbuffered) |
|
Network Interface Type The type of network connection supported by the product, such as wired Ethernet (e.g., Gigabit LAN, 2.5 Gbps LAN) or wireless Wi‑Fi standards (e.g., 802.11ac, 802.11ax). It indicates whether the device can connect to a local area network via cable, wirelessly, or both, and may include the maximum speed supported.
|
Wired Gigabit LAN (10/100/1000) |
|
NVIDIA SLI Support Indicates the type of NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) support available for a graphics card or motherboard, such as single‑card operation, two‑way SLI, three‑way SLI, four‑way SLI, NVLink combinations, or no SLI capability. The value is a textual description that can be used to inform users whether multiple NVIDIA GPUs can be linked together and what configuration is supported.
|
Not Supported |
|
On-Board Graphics Connectors A list of the physical connector types available on a device’s onboard graphics output, such as HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI‑D, or VGA. This attribute helps users identify which video ports are directly integrated into the motherboard or system board for connecting displays.
|
D-Sub (VGA) DisplayPort 1.2 DVI-D |
|
Primary GPU Interface The physical or logical interface used by a graphics processing unit to connect with the rest of the system, such as PCI Express (PCIe) variants. It indicates the technology that enables data transfer and power delivery between the GPU and the motherboard.
|
PCIe 3.0 (x16) |
|
QPI Speed The maximum data transfer rate of the QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) interface, expressed in gigatransfers per second (GT/s). This value indicates the bandwidth available for communication between processors and other system components.
|
N/A |
|
RAID Support via A comma‑separated list of the RAID configurations that a storage controller or device can manage, such as 0, 1, 5, 10, or JBOD. Each value represents a distinct RAID level that the product supports.
|
SATA |
|
SATA Support A list of SATA interface variants that the product supports, such as SATA III (SATA3), SATA II, or M.2 SATA. Each value indicates a specific SATA standard that the device can use for connecting storage devices.
|
SATA3 / M.2 |
|
Water Cooled Indicates whether a product uses water as its cooling medium. A value of "Yes" means the device incorporates a liquid‑cooling system that circulates water to dissipate heat, while "No" indicates it relies on air or other cooling methods.
|
No |
