In personal computers, a motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in many modern computers and holds many of the crucial components of the system, providing connectors for other peripherals. The motherboard is sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, or, on Apple computers, the logic board. It is also sometimes casually shortened to mobo.
ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard form factor specification developed by Intel in 1995 to improve on previous de facto standards like the AT form factor.
A CPU socket or CPU slot is a mechanical component that provides mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). This allows the CPU to be replaced without soldering. Common sockets have retention clips that apply a constant force, which must be overcome when a device is inserted. For chips with a large number of pins, either zero-insertion force (ZIF) sockets or land grid array (LGA) sockets are used instead. These designs apply a compression force once either a handle (for ZIF type) or a surface plate (LGA type) is put into place. This provides superior mechanical retention while avoiding the risk of bending pins when inserting the chip into the socket.
In addition to bandwidth and capacity variants, modules can 1. Optionally implement ECC, which is an extra data byte lane used for correcting minor errors and detecting major errors for better reliability. Modules with ECC are identified by an additional ECC in their designation. 2. Be "registered", which improves signal integrity (and hence potentially clock speed and physical slot capacity) by electrically buffering the signals at a cost of an extra clock of increased latency. Those modules are identified by an additional R in their designation, whereas non-registered (a.k.a. "unbuffered") RAM may be identified by an additional U in the designation. 3. Be Fully buffered modules, which are designated by F or FB and do not have the same notch position as other classes. Fully buffered modules cannot be used with motherboards that are made for registered modules, and the different notch position physically prevents their insertion.

Serial ATA (SATA) is a computer bus interface for connecting host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives and optical drives. Serial ATA 3 can transfer up to 6 Gbit/s.
(block-level striping without parity or mirroring) has no (or zero) redundancy. It provides improved performance and additional storage but no fault tolerance.
(mirroring without parity or striping), data are written identically to two drives, thereby producing a "mirrored set"; the read request is serviced by either of the two drives containing the requested data, whichever one involves least seek time plus rotational latency.
A RAID 10 group is a RAID 0 over several RAID 1, combining the characteristics of both RAIDs: security and increased read/write speed. A RAID 10 network requires at least four hard disks.
PCI Express ("Peripheral Component Interconnect Express", abbreviated: PCIe or PCI-E) is an extension standard for connecting peripheral devices to the chipset of a main processor. PCIe is the successor of PCI, PCI-X and AGP and offers a higher data transfer rate per pin compared to its predecessors. During its development the interface was called "3GIO", which stands for "3rd Generation Input/Output".
PCI Express, officially abbreviated as PCI-E or PCIe, is a computer expansion card interface format introduced by Intel in 2004. PCI Express was designed to replace the general-purpose PCI expansion bus, the high-end PCI-X bus and the AGP graphics card interface. Unlike previous PC expansion interfaces, rather than being a bus it is structured around point-to-point serial links called lanes.

IEEE 802.11a-1999 or 802.11a is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 specification that added a higher data rate of up to 54 Mbit/s using the 5 GHz band. It has seen widespread worldwide implementation, particularly within the corporate workspace. The amendment has been incorporated into the published IEEE 802.11-2007 standard.
The new 802.11ac standard is to be adopted in 2013. The main advantage over 802.11n is the faster data transmission with a gross data rate of up to 6900 Mbps. Net, however, good devices achieve three times as many as 3-stream MiMO devices. Data transmission is exclusively in the 5 GHz band and requires a larger channel width of 80 MHz, optionally a channel width of 160 MHz.
IEEE 802.11g-2003 or 802.11g is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 specification that extended throughput to up to 54 Mbit/s using the same 2.4 GHz band as 802.11b.
IEEE 802.11n-2009 is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 wireless networking standard to improve network throughput over the two previous standards—802.11a and 802.11g—with a significant increase in the maximum net data rate from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s (slightly higher gross bit rate including for example error-correction codes, and slightly lower maximum throughput) with the use of four spatial streams at a channel width of 40 MHz.802.11n standardized support for multiple-input multiple-output and frame aggregation, and security improvements, among other features.
The descriptions of audio sound specifications distinguish between the number of discrete channels encoded in the original signal and the number of channels reproduced for playback.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to interface devices. USB was designed to allow many peripherals to be connected using a single standardized interface socket and to improve the plug-and-play capabilities by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer (hot swapping). Other convenient features include providing power to low-consumption devices without the need for an external power supply and allowing many devices to be used without requiring manufacturer specific, individual device drivers to be installed. The Mini-B, Micro-A, Micro-B , and Micro-AB connectors are used for smaller devices such as PDAs, mobile phones or digital cameras. The Standard-A plug is approximately 4 by 12 mm, the Standard-B approximately 7 by 8 mm, and the Micro-A and Micro-B plugs approximately 2 by 7 mm.

A user guide or user's guide, also commonly known as a manual, is a technical communication document intended to give assistance to people using a particular system.[1] It is usually written by a technical writer, although user guides are written by programmers, product or project managers, or other technical staff, particularly in smaller companies.
User guides are most commonly associated with electronic goods, computer hardware and software.

Ich nutze das Board zusammen mit einem Ryzen 7 2700X, 2X G.Skill Trident Z RGB (2x, 8GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288, CL14 )Arbeitsspeicher und als Festplatte eine Samsung EVO 970 500GB (NVMe). Befeuert wird der Rechner mit einen Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 Netzteil. Die Bauteile finden in einem Be Quiet Dark Base 700 ausreichend Platz.
Bevor das System auf Herz und Niere getestet wurde, habe ich das aktuellste Biosupdate geflasht (F5). Der oben genannte Arbeitsspeicher wird zwar erkannt, aber nicht mit der originalen Taktrate. Erst durch X.M.P erkennt das System den Arbeitsspeicher mit 3200-Mhz korrekt. Ich habe die Hardware nun 10 Tage getestet, was mich wirklich überrascht hat ist die Tatsache dass das Mainbard, aus bisher noch nicht geklärten Gründen die Bioseinstellungen verliert. Sämtliche Einstellungen und Profile sind einfach weg. Wer möchte schon die Bioseinstellungen jedes Mal aufs Neue einstellen ? Für ein Profibrett ein No-Go!
Nun kommen wir auch zum nächsten Thema: Übertaktung. Vorweg zur Erklärung: Ich baue und übertakte Systeme nicht zum ersten Mal. Dieses Mal habe ich gänzlich aufgegeben die CPU oder den RAM zu übertakten, da ich die Taktraten nicht stabil halten konnte. Mit folgenden Programmen (Cinebench-r15 + Prime95) ist das System eingefroren oder die Temperaturen waren zu hoch (bei Temperaturen über 85 °C wurde abgebrochen). Trotz korrekter Montage der Bauteile. Das System läuft auf Auto am besten (stabil). Die Ursache für das Problem ist eigentlich irrelevant, da ich trotz allem für mich genug Leistungsreserven habe. Das Übertakten werde ich nicht in die Bewertung einfliessen lassen, da noch andere Faktoren (CPU, CPU-Kühler, RAM) eine Rolle spielen können.
Ungemein stört mich jedoch, dass die Temperaturwerte des Mainboards sobald sie unter 40 °C kommen extrem anfangen zu schwanken. (Sprünge von 34 °C bis 48 °C. ) Bei höheren Temperaturen stabilisiert sich der Wert wieder.…more
