Features

 

Intel® Dual-Core Processor N3050 (Up to 2.16 GHz)

Improved performance, lower power consumption, and new multimedia capabilities.

14nm CPU Core Inside SoC Motherboards

Built around an Intel® N3000 Series processor, this motherboard packs plenty of expandability, superb integrated performance, and abundant graphics outputs. With its excellent hardware configuration and software support, it is your ideal solution to do business work, play games, or enjoy video and music entertainment. ASRock presents you the best motherboard to build your own mini PC!

 

 

Power Gear

Toggle between three operational modes (Eco, Normal and Sport) to maximize performance or conserve energy. Use Eco mode for saving power during torrent downloads or other light activities, normal mode for regular tasks such as web surfing or word processing, and then shift to Sport mode to take on heavy jobs such as gaming or 4K video playback.

 

 

Supports Standard & Low Voltage Long DIMMs

Capable of supporting both standard and low-voltage Long DIMMs.

 

16GB Memory Support

Each slot supports 8GB memory modules, thus delivering a maximum capacity up to 16GB.

 

HEVC (H.265) Decoding + 4K

Supports HEVC (H.265) decoding to provide substantially improved video quality. Plus a minimum of 3840 x 2160 pixels with 4K resolution.

 

DDR3 LONG DIMMs

Two standard DDR3 dual channel long DIMM slots onboard! Compared to the default SO-DIMM slots, long DIMM design provides more DRAM module choices and also reserves huge potential for future upgrades.

 

Passive Heatsink Design

The CPU is covered by a specially designed heatsink which allows advanced heat dissipation. Utilizing an ultra quiet fanless design, this ASRock motherboard provides the most silent computing environment.

 

Triple Monitor

Graphics, graphics and even more graphics! You've demanded for more eye candy, so this motherboard supports Triple Monitor. You may choose up to three display interfaces from the rear i/o to connect monitors and use them simultaneously without installing another graphics card.

 

Micro ATX

This motherboard is uniquely based on the micro ATX form factor and therefore offers more expandability and choices for choosing a chassis.

 

ELNA Audio Caps

Who says high quality audio is only available on high-end motherboards? ASRock applied ELNA audio capacitors on mainstream and entry-level motherboards! Compared with traditional solid caps, the leakage current of ELNA audio caps is merely 3uA. This is the key to reduce noise level significantly and satisfy even the pickiest audiophiles.

Some sensitive digital components on the motherboard are vulnerable to power surges, the excessive current may cause your system to malfunction immediately. ASRock Full Spike Protection includes various technologies to prevent your motherboard’s components from being damaged by these unexpected voltage spikes.

Surge Protection
Protects the motherboard from excessive surges from the power supply unit.

Lightning Protection
The onboard LAN chip is protected against sudden and violent voltage spikes caused by lightning.

ESD Protection
USB : Added ICs to protect the onboard USB ports from electrostatic discharges.

LAN : Prevents the onboard LAN from being damaged by electrostatic discharges.
MOSFETs : MOSFETs in critical areas use a special design for protecting them from electrostatic discharge during the installation process.

 

USB Key

In a world where time is money, why waste precious time everyday typing usernames to log in to Windows? Why should we even bother memorizing those foot long passwords? Nobody has time for that! Just plug in the USB Key and let your computer log in to windows automatically!

 

Restart to UEFI

Fast Boot is so fast that it is impossible for users to enter the UEFI setup utility during POST. Therefore, ASRock Restart to UEFI technology allows users to easily enter the UEFI setup utility automatically when turning on the PC next time. It is designed for those who constantly need to enter the UEFI setup utility.

 

ASRock XFast RAM fully utilizes the memory space that cannot be used under Windows® 32-bit operating systems. It shortens the loading time of previously visited websites, making web surfing faster than ever. And it also boosts the speed of Adobe Photoshop 5 times faster. Another advantage of ASRock XFast RAM is that it reduces the frequency of accessing your SSDs or HDDs in order to extend their lifespan.

 

 

When Internet Explorer loads very slowly for no clear reason, it's usually due to inefficient management. ASRock is rolling out super efficient web management in the motherboard industry. XFast LAN is a convenient tool that controls internet related applications easily and efficiently. Creating a perfect Internet environment, all you need is a smart manager. ASRock XFast LAN allows you to enjoy more speed, easier multitasking, enhanced multimedia experience, and more – all without weighing you down.

 

This motherboard supports HDMIâ„¢ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) which is an interface standard for transferring uncompressed video data and delivering multi-channel audio through a single cable. Both video and audio data signals transferred through the HDMIâ„¢ interface are digital without being converted into analog, therefore it delivers the richest pictures and the most realistic sounds.
