Additionally, Bluetooth 5 provides 4X range over BT 4.2 and with faster transmission.
The adoption of 2.5G LAN provides network connectivity of up to 2.5GbE, with transfer speeds at least 2 times faster compared to general 1GbE networks, perfectly designed for gamers with the best online gaming experience.
Featuring USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 design that doubles the performance of the previous generation of USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works with ultra-fast data transfer of up to 20 Gbps while connecting to USB 3.2 compatible peripherals. Through the USB Type-C® connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of reversible connection to quickly access and store large amounts of data.
AMD's native USB 3.2 Gen 2 provides USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports with speeds up to 10 Gbps. With double the bandwidth compared to its previous generation, as well as support for USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen1, the greatly improved USB 3.2 Gen 2 protocol is available over the new reversible USB Type-C™ and USB Type-C connector. A traditional for better compatibility on a wider range of devices.
 
High-end audio capacitors
AORUS motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high-quality capacitors help deliver high-resolution, high-fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.
 
Audio noise protector
AORUS motherboards feature an audio noise shield that essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential PCB-level noise contamination.
