  Connectivity

Robust Power Design

The LGA 2066 socket is compatible with the latest Intel Core X-Series Processors with up to 18 cores, over 44 PCI Express^® lanes, and 165-watt thermal design power (TDP). Those specs require serious power, especially if you’re overclocking, so the Prime X299 Edition 30 is equipped with a premium power solution that includes 16 power stages that line up neatly along the top edge of the PCB. The power stages are cooled well enough to sustain a staggering up to 544 W output, which is more than enough to overclock 18-core CPUs into truly extreme territory.

• ProCool II Connectors
• PowIRstage MOSFETS
• Microfine Alloy choke
• 10K Japanese-made metallic capacitors

ProCool II connector

ProCool II connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines. The second-generation features upgrades of metal amour and solid pins for better heat dissipation, as well as a warning LED-display with a BIOS POST message to indicate an improper connection.
