Each Thunderbolt™ 4 port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest high-speed devices and drives. Thunderbolt 4 also supports up to two external 4K displays and extends PCIe bandwidth to up to 32 Gbps.
1. Up to 40Gbps
2. Supports Dual 4K or One 8K display




1. PCIe 4.0 M.2 Connector
2. PCIe 4.0 x16 (x16 or x8/x8)

1. Teamed Power Stages: 12+2 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest AMD Ryzen processors demand.
2. Digi+ Power Control: The ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry and ensures ultra-smooth power delivery to the CPU.
3. ProCool II Power Connector: The ProCool socket is built to exacting specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines, enabling lower impedance and better heat dissipation.
4. Choke & Capacitor: Superior alloy chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, providing a higher level of performance than the industry standard.
5. 6-Layer PCB: The 6-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around the VRM to improve overall system stability and give the CPU more overclocking headroom.

1. VRM Heatsink & Thermal Pad: Large, high-mass heatsinks with an extensive surface area along with high-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from VRM and choke areas to improve heat dissipation.
2. M.2 Heatsink: Both M.2 drives sit under a passive heatsink to ward off the throttling that can occur with sustained transfers.
3. Stack Cool 3+: Layers of 2-ounce copper draw heat away from critical components to keep them at their optimal operating temperatures.





1. Fan Mode: Fan mode quickly configures your system’s cooling by selecting the preferred fan setting.
2. Task Group: Applications that are frequently used together can be arranged into groups and launched with a single click.

Network-optimization software allows you to prioritize applications in order to allocate more bandwidth to speed up essential apps and tasks.
1. Adaptive Intelligence Mode: Intelligently prioritizes bandwidth of heavy-use applications by identifying in-use applications and using foreground acceleration.
2. Creation First Mode: Allocates more bandwidth to active content-creation applications to optimize network traffic, making your workflow more efficient.
