Motherboard Asrock AM5D4ID2 AM5 KNOLL3 X300 Mini ITX - 100600099

This Asrock AM5D4ID2 motherboard is a Mini ITX solution for the AM5 platform, focusing on serious CPUs and compact systems. The combination of the KNOLL3 X300 chipset and support for AMD EPYC 4004/4005 and Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 makes it suitable for both powerful desktops and mini-servers and edge systems. You get DDR5 support with up to 192 GB RAM, which is unusually high for the Mini ITX class. The built-in two Intel i210 1GbE ports and PCIe 5.0 capabilities position it as a serious platform for stable network and I/O work.

What you get
First and foremost – an AM5 socket with support for the latest generations of Ryzen and EPYC, so you can combine a compact configuration with a multi-core CPU without being limited to "typical" desktop chips. The four DDR5 slots and the maximum capacity of 192 GB RAM (with a dual-channel configuration) allow for serious workloads – virtualizations, databases, development environments, or heavy multitasking. The two M.2 M-key (PCIe 5.0 x4) slots give you the possibility for ultra-fast NVMe SSD drives, which removes I/O bottlenecks with large files or many VMs. The main PCIe 5.0 x16 slot comes directly from the CPU, so if you install a powerful GPU or a specialized card (capture, accelerator), it will work at its full potential. The power supply is designed for more serious configurations – with 2 x 8-pin ATX 12V and a 4-pin ATX PSU signal connector with an adapter to 24-pin, which facilitates integration into non-standard or server-style cases.

• The AM5 socket with the KNOLL3 X300 chipset ensures compatibility with modern AMD platforms and support for current CPU generations.
• Supported processors: AMD EPYC 4004/4005 and AMD Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 Series, which allows choosing between desktop and server-oriented chips depending on the load.
• Four memory slots for DDR5 with a maximum of 192 GB and dual-channel mode provide plenty of space for RAM-intensive applications and long-term upgrades.
• Support for memory frequencies up to 5600 MHz (and 3600 MHz configurations) allows you to balance between capacity, stability, and speed.
• Two independent LAN ports 2 x Intel i210 (1GbE) are suitable for routing, firewall systems, virtualized network services, or simply separate networks.
• Two M.2 M-key (PCIe 5.0 x4) slots for 2280 NVMe SSD drives provide a very fast and compact storage solution without the need for additional cables.
• One PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slot from the CPU provides full bandwidth for a powerful GPU or specialized card in Mini ITX format.
• Power connectors 2 x 8-pin ATX 12V plus 4-pin ATX PSU signal (with a 24-pin adapter) allow stable power supply even under loaded multi-core CPUs.
• Compact Mini ITX form factor – ideal for small cases, rack solutions with adapters, or tightly packed workstation builds.
• A warranty of 36 months provides peace of mind for long-term operation in a 24/7 environment or a home server.

Who it is suitable for
This motherboard is a logical choice if you are looking for a compact but serious machine – a home lab, SOHO server, router/firewall box, mini workstation, or edge/industrial system with an EPYC/Ryzen CPU. It also works for a gaming build if you want a high-end Ryzen and fast NVMe storage in a small case, but it is a bit overkill if you only need a basic office or media PC.

The most meaningful thing here is the combination of the Mini ITX format with EPYC/Ryzen support, two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, and a large RAM capacity – you rarely see such serious resources in such a small motherboard.
