The 8-pin CPU Power Plug LED in the manual is not a connector.","ram_max_gb":"4 x DIMM slots, max. 256GB, DDR5. The manual says the same. Tom's Hardware prints 192 GB in its table, which is the older figure.","ram_max_speed_mts":"Up to 9066+MT/s (OC) with Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2).

Non-ECC DDR5 supports On-Die ECC, which does not count.","cudimm_support":"The memory line lists Clocked Unbuffered DIMM (CUDIMM) with no bypass mode limit.

Only M.2_5 lists a SATA mode. The full slot list shows the other four without one, so their sata cell is false. The page names no lane sharing, and Tom's Hardware says the configuration does not change whatever is connected. The Special Features list names M.2 heatsinks and a backplate.

That is 10 USB ports, as the page totals them. ASUS names USB by speed, so 10Gbps is stored as USB 3.2 Gen 2 and 5Gbps as USB 3.2 Gen 1. The Thunderbolt 4 rows carry the footnote 5V/3.0A, stored as 15 W. The 10Gbps Type-C footnote says 5V/9V max 3.0A, 12V max 2.5A and 15V max 2.0A, which is the 30 W of the port name. DisplayPort is max 8K@60Hz as specified in DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI is 4K@60Hz as specified in HDMI 2.1. The Thunderbolt 4 footnote says DP alt mode supports up to UHBR20, so dp_alt_mode is true for those ports. The page does not say whether the 10Gbps Type-C port has DisplayPort output. The Wi-Fi module and the buttons are not ports.","usb_headers":"Front USB (Total 7 ports): 1 x USB 20Gbps connector (supports USB Type-C), 1 x USB 5Gbps header for 2 additional ports and 2 x USB 2.0 headers for 4 additional ports.
