DDR5 XMP & EXPO Support
ASRock, which originates from the design concept "built for stable and reliable," does not compromise on any detail. These motherboards are made with low-loss materials, allowing enthusiastic users to enjoy enhanced DDR5 memory overclocking performance by enabling pre-tested profiles. Ensure that the memory modules are capable of Intel XMP/AMD EXPO and overclocking can become so accessible, satisfying, and easy.
PCIe 5.0 + Surface-Mount Tech
Compared to the conventional DIP-type PCIe slot, the SMT-type PCIe slot improves signal flow and maximizes stability at high speeds, a significant innovation for full support of the lightning speed of the latest PCIe 5.0 standard.
The latest PCI Express 5.0 is capable of delivering an astounding 128GBps bandwidth, ready to unleash the full potential of future high-spec graphics cards.
Enhanced PCIe 5.0 Slot
The reinforced steel slot is capable of supporting the PCI Express 5.0 standard. The various benefits include:
- Additional anchor points
- Stronger latch
- Ensuring signal stability
- Ensuring that heavy graphics cards are well installed.
Polychrome RGB
This motherboard features built-in RGB headers and an addressable RGB header that allow the motherboard to connect with compatible LED devices, such as strips, CPU fans, coolers, cases, and so on. Users can also synchronize the RGB LED devices to the certified Polychrome RGB Sync accessories to create their own unique lighting effects.
PCIe Gen4 x4 for SSD
This motherboard is capable of accommodating multiple M.2 storage devices, one of which can support PCI Express 4.0 M.2 SSD, capable of delivering double the speed compared to the previous 3rd generation, offering a lightning-fast data transfer experience.
Dragon 2.5 Gb/S LAN
The intelligent 2.5Gb/s LAN platform is designed for maximum networking performance for the demanding requirements of home networking, content creators, online gamers, and high-quality streaming media. Enhancing networking performance up to 2.5 times the bandwidth compared to standard Gigabit Ethernet, you will enjoy the fastest and uncompromised connectivity experience for gaming, file transfers, and backups.
USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C
The latest version USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C provides a data transfer rate of up to 20 Gbps, which is 2 times faster than the previous generation, offering a high-speed data transfer interface with a reversible USB Type-C design that fits the plug in any way.
Integrated EDP Signal Connector
An eDP signal socket is integrated into selected ASRock motherboards and supports two functions simultaneously - power supply and digital display signal transmission. The connector offers the possibility for an upgrade with the exclusive ASRock 13.3" Side Panel Kit.
With the 13.3" Side Panel, users can easily add an LCD screen inside the computer, adding a sub-screen for monitoring the computer's status, watching videos, and much more.
Pre-installed IO shield
ASRock strives to offer only cutting-edge technology with the most user-friendly design. The pre-installed IO Shield design makes the motherboard fit well into the case with precision to avoid interference and speed up the installation process.
