- Does this board support Intel 14th gen CPUs?

- How many M.2 drives can I install?
- It has several M.2 M-key slots for 2280 and 2260 drives, with the primary position heatsinked. Check the manual for which slots share lanes with SATA ports before filling them all.

- Yes, the main PCIe x16 slot is PCIe 5.0. The remaining expansion slots run at PCIe 4.0.
- Does it have Wi-Fi and Ethernet built in?
- Yes. Wi-Fi 6E and a 2.5 GbE LAN port are integrated, so no add-in networking card is needed.
