The motherboard will be based on the Z590 PCH which is the latest you can find on desktop boards. There's also 128 GB of DDR4-3200 memory (32 GB per DIMM). There's also the option to go up to 3600 MHz but the memory isn't mentioned in the configurator yet. You can also select between several 11th and 10th Gen Desktop CPUs.

The GPU side on the EUROCOM Sky Z7 R2 can be configured with an RTX 3060 6 GB, RTX 3070 8 GB, or an RTX 3080 16 GB. The 16 GB GeForce RTX 3080 will operate with a TDP of 165W (150W + 15W Dynamic Boost). For storage, you can upgrade to up to 32 TB SSD in the form of four physical 8 TB NVMe Gen 4.0 x4 SSDs. Other specs include WiFi 6 with 2.5GbE LAN (Killer E3000), a fully RGB-lit keyboard, Creative Super X-Fi Ultra DSP chip for audio with ESS SABRE HiFi DAC. There are also a range of ports which include 2 USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 4.0), 1 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2,  3 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, 2 MiniDP, 1 HDMI 2.0, 1 combo audio-jack, 1 RJ45 LAN port ad 2 DC-in ports.

More specifically, PCIe 4.0 offers up to16 GT/s data transfer rate compared to PCIe 3.0’s 8.0 GT/s data transfer rate. With this, the Sky Z7 R2 can utilize the fastest NVMe drives available today (such as the Samsung 980 Pro Gen 4.0 x4), which delivers read speeds up to 7000 MB/s, making it 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSD’s and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs.

Upgradeable up to 128 GB RAM and 32 TB NVMe Storage

Offering more modular and upgradeable components, EUROCOM Z7 R2’s Memory/RAM is also easily upgradeable, offering up to 128 GB of modular DDR4 memory.
