This motherboard has a pair of onboard Type-A and Type-C USB 3.1 ports
built on the rear i/o for supporting next generation USB 3.1 devices and to
deliver up to 10 Gbps data transfer rates.
Dual M.2 For
SSD
One PCIe Gen3 x4 Ultra M.2 interface that pushes data transfer speeds up to
32Gb/s, and is compatible with ASRocks U.2 Kit for installing some of the worlds
fastest U.2 PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD. The other one supports PCIe Gen2 x4 20Gb/s
transfer speed.
Purity
Sound 4
It's time to enjoy the most purified audio performance with ultra high
definition. Purity Sound4 is a combination of several hardware, software audio
solutions. 7.1 CH HD audio with the latest Realtek ALC1220 audio codec,
individual PCB layers for R/L audio channel, 120dB SNR DAC and other
technologies to deliver the crispest sound effects.
PCI-E
Steel SlotsThe advanced PCI-E Steel Slots packed with solid
cover that prevent any signal interference with graphics cards. It also ensures
the heavy graphics cards to be well-installed in the PCI-E slots
safely.
XXL
Aluminium Alloy HeatsinkExtra large aluminum alloy heat sinks
that effectively take away heat from the MOSFET and chipset so that your whole
system may perform more stable.
Premium
60A Power ChokeCompared to traditional chokes, ASRock’s premium
60A power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times
better, thus providing enhanced and improved Vcore voltage to the
motherboard.
Premium
Memory Alloy ChokeSpecifically designed for memory power
delivery, these new alloy chokes feature a highly magnetic and heat resistant
design, thus delivering more stable and reliable power to the motherboard and
memory modules.
Dual-Stack
MOSFET (DSM)Dual-Stack MOSFET (DSM) is another innovative
MOSFETs design by ASRock. The silicon die area is increased by stacking two dies
into one MOSFET. The larger the die area, the lower Rds(on). Compared to
traditional discrete MOSFET, DSM with larger die area provides extreme lower
Rds(on) 1.2 mO, so the power supply for the CPU Vcore is more efficient.
Nichicon
12K Black CapsA combination of 820uF and 100uF capacitors.
Together these capacitors provide clearer, efficient and more responsive CPU
Vcore power, and overclockers may achieve higher scores.
I/O Armor
A new designed protective cover for all of the crucial parts near the
motherboard's rear I/O, so that they won't easily be damaged by static
electricity.
Matte Black PCB
A new mysterious matte black and copper color scheme to match the
prestigious components on ASRock's high-end motherboards.
High Density Glass Fabric PCB
High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the
PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by
humidity.
Intel LAN
Intel LAN provides the best throughput performance, lower CPU
utilization, enhanced stability and is able to deliver ultimate network
experience to users!
SLI HB Bridge Free Bundled
The free bundled ASRock's new SLI HB Bridge is compatible with the
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 graphics cards that doubles the
available transfer bandwidth, thus delivering rock stable gameplay and
experiencing surround gaming in the best way.
2oz Copper
It comes with 2 ounces copper inner layers, using only carefully selected
copper materials for PCB layers, delivering lower temperature and higher energy
efficiency for overclocking.
Water Pump
Header
This is not only a standard CPU fan header, but also supports water pumps!
This header provides a maximum of 1.5A power for supporting the most popular
water pumps. User also can adjust the voltage of water pump to get higher
cooling performance with lower noise.
A-Tuning
A-Tuning is ASRock's multi purpose software suite with a new interface,
more new features and improved utilities.
