Exclusive 20K Cap with 1000uF Capacitance

The upgraded 20K Black capacitor not only extends the lifespan to 20,000 hours but also increases the capacitance value from 560uF to 1000uF, bringing several benefits:

18+2+1 Power Phase Design

Featuring sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capabilities and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.

SPS (Smart Power Stage)

Dr.MOS design features the latest SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology. It’s optimized for monitoring current and temperature of each phase, thus delivering smoother and neater power to the CPU with enhanced performance and OC capability.

Hi-Density Power Connector

CPU overclocking requires higher current. ASRock Hi-Density Power Connectors are designed to withstand higher currents compared to traditional CPU and ATX power connectors, providing a more stable system and reducing the risk of fire during heavy overclocking.

DDR5 XMP & EXPO Support

Derived from the “built for stable and reliable” designing concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. This motherboard is built with high quality materials, enthusiasts are able to enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are Intel® XMP/AMD EXPO™ capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying and absolutely no sweat at all.

Aluminum Heatsink

The first thing that catches the eye is the optimized Aluminum Heatsink Design. Heatsinks are crucial for efficient heat dissipation, especially during heavy workloads like gaming or productivity tasks. Motherboard that built with heatsinks can effectively manage thermal performance, hence ensure system stability and durability effortlessly.

Advanced Thermal Design

Equipped with XXL aluminum heatsinks that cover the VRM, PCH, and M.2 areas, providing enhanced heat dissipation for stable operation and optimal performance.

Whether you're recharging a power-hungry Pad, phone, or powering USB-based creative tools, this fast-charging port keeps your essential gear ready without the need for extra adapters or wall plugs.

POLYCHROME RGB

This motherboard features onboard RGB headers and addressable RGB headers that allow motherboard to be connected to compatible LED devices such as strip, CPU fans, coolers, chassis and so on. Users may also synchronize RGB LED devices across the Polychrome RGB Sync-certified accessories to create their own unique lighting effects.

SignalRGB

SignalRGB unifies your RGB devices, offering seamless customization, game-reactive effects, macro automation, and system monitoring. The official partnership empowers ASRock motherboards with advanced lighting control, enhances compatibility with a diverse range of RGB devices, and provides greater customization flexibility.

Customized Thermal Management

The thermistor cable and thermistor header provide an additional source for temperature monitoring, offering customized thermal management solutions.

No disk drive or support CD needed. ASRock pre-installs the LAN driver, so when the system connects to the internet for the first time, an ADI pop-up application will appear.

Users can simply install all drivers and software needed with one click—greatly simplifying the setup process.

Get the most convenient BIOS flashing with just a simple click. Users can easily achieve the latest BIOS support with a USB and a power supply. No CPU, RAM or other components are required.

Unlike most so called pre-mounted I/O shield that is only decorated with fancy color schemes. We reserve more tolerance space and allow IO shield is adjustable when installing, thus fitting chassis perfectly without any mechanical issue.
