Overview

• NitroPath technology rethinks traditional RAM slot design with shorter, downward-bending contact pins to minimize electrical interference.
• Asus claims NitroPath slots increase overclocking headroom by up to 400 MT/s, especially benefiting high-speed memory configurations.
• The new slots provide a 57% increase in retention force, making them more durable for frequent memory swaps.
• NitroPath slots are currently exclusive to Asus's high-end four-slot motherboards, with plans to open-source the design after a year.
• The technology is not included in two-slot motherboards as empty slot interference is not a concern in such configurations.
