** Note that Ryzen CPUs do not have integrated graphics, as such, these video ports cannot be used. Only AMD APUs (7th-gen A-series and Athlon) can take advantage of these ports as these APUs have integrated graphics.**
REAR PANEL PORTS SPECIFICATIONS
- DP (DisplayPort): A 20-pin digital display port that can transmit both digital video and audio signals, for plugging in a DisplayPort cable. DisplayPort has gone through a couple of versions, each are backwards-compatible with older versions but can only achieve a maximum throughput of the slower version:
Versions 1.0 and 1.1a have a maximum bandwidth of 10.8Gbps (or 8.64Gbps data rate excluding overhead).
Versions 1.2 and 1.2a have up to 21.6Gbps (or 17.28Gbps data rate excluding overhead).
Versions 1.3 and 1.4 have up to 32.4Gbps (or 25.92Gbps data rate excluding overhead).
Thus, DP1.0~1.1a can achieve up to 144Hz on a 1920x1080 resolution, 60Hz-75Hz on 2560x1440, but only 30Hz on 3840x2160 (4K). DP1.2~1.2a can achieve up to 240Hz on 1920x1080, up to 165Hz on 2560x1440, up to 75Hz on 4K, and 30Hz on 5K. DP1.3~1.4 can do up to 120Hz on 4K, 60Hz on 5K, and 30Hz on 8K resolutions.

- HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): A 19-pin digital display port that can transmit both digital video and audio signals, used for plugging in an HDMI cable. HDMI has gone through several versions, each are backwards-compatible with older versions but can only achieve a maximum throughput of the slower version:
Versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.2a have a maximum bandwidth of 4.95Gbps (or 3.96Gbps data rate excluding overhead).
Versions 1.3, 1.3a, 1.4, 1.4a, and 1.4b have up to 10.2Gbps (or 8.16Gbps data rate excluding overhead).
Versions 2.0, 2.0a, and 2.0b have up to 18.0Gpbs (or 14.4Gbps data rate excluding overhead).
Versions 2.1 has up to 48.0Gbps (or 42.6Gbps data rate excluding overhead).
Thus, HDMI1.0~1.2a can only achieve 60Hz up to a 1920x1080 resolution. HDMI1.3~1.4b can achieve 120Hz-144Hz on 1920x1080, 60Hz-75Hz on 2560x1440, and 30Hz on 3840x2160 (4K). HDMI2.0~2.0b can achieve up to 60Hz on 4K, while HDMI2.1 can do up to 60Hz on 5K and 30Hz on 8K resolutions.
An HDMI port (left) and an HDMI cable connector (right).
- DVI-I (Digital Visual Interface - Integrated): A 28-pin digital+analog port that can transmit digital or analog video signals (no audio), used for plugging in a DVI-I dual-link, DVI-I single-link, DVI-A (analog only). This port is also compatible with a DVI-D dual-link or a DVI-D single-link cable.
Single-link has a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 4.95Gbps (or 3.96Gbps data rate excluding overhead).
Dual-link has twice the data rate of a single-link.
Thus, a single-link DVI can achieve 60Hz on a 1920x1200 resolution, but only 30Hz on a 2560x1600 resolution. On the other hand, a dual-link DVI can achieve 120Hz on 1920x1200, 60Hz on 2560x1600, and 30Hz on 3840x2400 resolutions.
A DVI-I port, a DVI-I Single Link cable, DVI-I Dual Link cable, and a DVI-A cable.
- DVI-D (Digital Visual Interface - Digital): A 24-pin digital display port that can only transmit digital video signals (no audio), used for plugging in a DVI-D dual-link or DVI-D single-link cable.
This port is not physically compatible with a DVI-I or DVI-A cable due to the extra pins, unless an adaptor is used. The data rate for DVI-D is the same as that for the DVI-I.
A DVI-D port, a DVI-D Single Link cable, and a DVI-D Dual Link cable.
- VGA (Video Graphics Array): Also known as a "D-Sub" (D-subminiature) port. A 15-pin analog display port that can only transmit analog video signals (no audio), used for plugging in a VGA cable with a DE-15 connector.

- COM (Communication or Serial): A 9-pin port which transfers data one bit at a time, used for older devices or POS (point-of-sale) systems.
- LPT (Line Print Terminal or Parallel): A 25-pin port which transfers information multiple bits at a time, most oftenly used for old printers.
Two PS/2 ports and its cables (left), a Serial (COM) port and cable (center), and a Parallel (LPT) port and cable (right).
- USB Headers:
- USB3.1 Header (20-pin): Used to connect one (1) additional USB3.1 Type-C port or such other devices that use the USB3.1 interface (note that USB3.1 is equivalent to "USB3.1 Gen2"), with a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 10Gbps.
USB3.1 is backwards-compatible with USB3.0 and USB2.0, using an adapter. Some motherboards have a similar 20-pin header but can only support speeds of a USB3.0 (equivalent to a "USB3.1 Gen1") or 5Gbps maximum theoretical transfer speed. Cable can be plugged reversibly.
A 20-pin Type-C internal header and its corresponding cable.
- USB3.0 Header (19-pin): Used to connect additional USB3.0 ports or such other devices that use the USB3.0 interface (note that USB3.0 is equivalent to "USB3.1 Gen1"), with a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 5Gbps. USB3.0 is backwards-compatible with USB2.0, using an adapter. One (1) header with complete usable pins can support up to two (2) ports. Cable can only be plugged in one direction based on the pinout key and notch. The data shows the total number of USB3.0 internal headers -- not the ports.
- In 90°: Indicates how many of the total USB3.0 (19-pin) headers in the motherboard are specially oriented in a 90-degree layout (i.e., parallel to the motherboard) for better cable routing. Traditionally, USB3.0 (19-pin) headers are oriented vertically (i.e., perpendicular to the motherboard).
Two USB3.0 internal headers, one specially oriented in 90 degrees and one oriented vertically, and its corresponding cable.- USB2.0 Header (9-pin): Used to connect additional USB2.0 ports or such other devices that use the USB2.0 interface. One (1) header with complete usable pins can support up to two (2) ports. Cable can only be plugged in one direction based on the pinout key. The data shows the total number of USB2.0 internal headers -- not the ports.
A full 9-pin USB2.0 header that can support 2x USB2.0 ports and its corresponding cable connector (left) and a half 5-1pin USB2.0 header that can support 1x USB2.0 port and its corresponding cable connector (right).- Fan/Pump (4-pin): Headers used for the connection of a fan or a pump. Motherboards with 4-pin fan headers are usually, but not always, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) headers. The 4th-pin is used to send a PWM signal to a PWM fan (which has a 4-pin connector) to control the current, thus, changing its fan speed, while providing constant +12VDC on its 2nd pin.
Some 4-pin fan headers are not true PWM headers if the 4th pin is either just a dummy pin (no electronic connection) or sends some signal other than a PWM signal. Such types of headers are considered to be DC headers, akin to a 3-pin fan header, that supplies variable voltage in the 2nd pin to control the fan speed of a DC fan (which has a 3-pin connector).
Most motherboards nowadays have its 4-pin fan headers configurable in BIOS to work as a "hybrid" PWM or DC header (either through manual selection or automatic detection), so that the pins can send appropriate signals depending on the type of fan connected.
Fans with 3-pin connectors are physically compatible with 4-pin fan headers. Cable can only be plugged in one direction by aligning the protruding tab on the header with the groove on the connector. This data shows the total number of 4-pin fan/pump headers, all Hybrid PWM/DC, unless otherwise stated in the notes.

- Thermal Sensor: Used for connecting a thermistor cable for monitoring temperatures of components in the motherboard.
A 2-pin Thermal Sensor header and a thermistor.
- RGB LED Strip Header:
- 12V RGB LED Strip Header: (Most are 4-pin [12V/G/R/B], while some, esp. in Gigabyte models, are 5-pin [12V/G/R/B]+[W]) for std. 5050 RGB strips).
- 5V RGB LED Strip Header: (Asus uses 4-1pin [5V/D/-/G] for RGB WS2812B strips; Msi uses same 4-1pin but also has another 3-pin [5V/D/G] for Corsair RGB fans; Gigabyte uses 3-pin [V/D/G] which are 5V/12V interchangeable via a voltage selector jumper and supports 5050 strips).
Direct links to manufacturer's site, and user manuals, are included for reference (found at the far right end of each table).
- Front / System Panel: Contains various pins/headers for connecting the chassis' front panel controls, usually consists of headers for the power button, reset switch, power LED indicator, and hard disk activity LED indicator. Note that some motherboard may have additional pins/headers for other special functions.
- Chassis Intrusion: Used for attaching a chassis cable to detect and provide warning if the chassis has been opened. Some motherboards have this header included within the Front/System Panel headers.
- Front Audio (9-pin): For plugging the audio cable from the chassis to enable the chassis's front audio ports. All front-panel audio in today's chassis are standardized to use HD Audio. Older chassis use AC'97 standard. Some of the old chassis have two (2) cables supplied - one for HD Audio and one for AC'97. Both these cables have similar plugs and keys but have different wiring.
Motherboards may or may not support both standards. Those that only support HD Audio will have its pins compatible only with the HD Audio cable, even though the AC'97 plug will also fit. Those that can support both need to have the correct standard selected in BIOS before plugging in the appropriate cable.
- S/PDIF Out (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Output)
- COM Header (9-pin) (Communication or Serial)
- LPT Header (25-pin) (Line Print Terminal or Parallel)
- TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
- Other Headers: Enumerates all other headers found in the motherboard.

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X570-UNIFY
I've noticed it is missing
Cant find the small triangle-shaped icons anywhere.
Is sorting disabled?
Click on the empty row button (#11), which will highlight the entire row. Then click on the filter icon (next to the zoom button), which will open up a menu with the option to create new temporary filter. Once you do that, little "filter" icons will appear in each column of row 11 and you will be able to filter items out by clicking on them.

Just a small error the B550 Aorus Pro and AC have Heat sink with Heat pipe similar to that of the Master.
Thanks for the well sorted out feature list.

John, would like to suggest an attempt to find and include the specifications on your google doc for the ASUS TUF B450M-Pro S, as it is not included and I suspect that the configuration will not be the same as for the B450M-Pro.

Hey guys, just found time to update the tables to include A520's and some of your requested recently-released mobos (e.g. TUF X570-Pro, TUF B450M-Pro S, X570 Tomahawk, etc.) . A total of seventy-six (76) models were added today -- spec details of all these 76 motherboards to follow within the days/weeks ahead.
Stay safe everyone!

I quickly made an account to report some issues I've experienced. The temporary filter arrows don't show up on row 11 instead showing up on row 1 which is easy to miss. When I do create a custom filter I lose the top 11 rows making it difficult to add any more.
Screens to show what I'm experiencing.

I've tried this on Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. I don't know if it's just me or not but thought I'd share since this sheet helped me a lot when I was building my computer in April and I'm currently building one for my wife.
Thank you for the hard work.

Thanks for bring this up. I think there were some problems the past few days due to high traffic volume, where some tools (such as filtering) are disabled or does not work correctly. This is only in that main spreadsheet link (as posted above). However, when I use the Mirror Link (see notes on top of spreadsheet), I did not encounter any issues when sorting/filtering that spreadsheet. These are the 2 links:
Main: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...FnsZYZiW1pfiDZnKCjaXyzd1o/edit#gid=2112472504
Mirror Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...XivdUo9BbTcsss1Rzy3J4hRyA/edit#gid=2112472504
Today though, the main spreadsheet seems to work fine. Not sure if on your end the filtering is still messed up. Recommend to access the Mirror Link instead. Thanks again!
