Features
Beyond fast with USB3.1
A PCIe x4 add on card that provides a Type A USB 3.1 connector for
delivering up to 10Gbps data transfer rates, plus a Type C USB 3.1 connector for
plugging mobile devices.
1. Faster device charging with power currents of 3.0 ampere
2. Ultra durable supports over 10,000 plug and removals
3. A reversible design that fits the connector either way
Super Motherboard Alloy Stable And Reliable
XXL Aluminum Alloy Heatsink Design
The extra large aluminum alloy heatsinks take away heat dramatically. As
the MOSFETs and chipsets areas are well covered by these heatsinks to protect
them from overheating, MOSFET and chipsets can perform with lower temperature,
and your motherboard and system will be more stable and reliable.
Premium 60A Power Choke
Compared to traditional chokes, ASRock’s new-gen premium power chokes
effectively increase up to 3 times better saturation current, providing enhanced
and improved Vcore voltage to the motherboard.
Premium Memory Alloy Choke
Specially designed for memory power delivery, the new-gen alloy chokes
feature a highly magnetic and heat resistant design, thus delivering more stable
and reliable power to the motherboard.
Ultra Dual-N MOSFET
Combining two silicon dies into one MOSFET, Ultra Dual-N MOSFET provides
larger die area and lower Rds(on), so the power supply for the CPU Vcore is more
efficient.
Nichicon 12K Platinum Caps
Supreme 12K platinum capacitors with lifespans of at least 12,000 hours.
Compared to other counterparts on high-end motherboards that merely have
lifespans of around 10,000 hours, ASRock applied Nichicon 12K Platinum Caps that
offer 20% longer lifespans and provide more stability and reliability.
Tested under industry standard 105 degree Celsius ambient
temperature.
Sapphire Black PCB
Pure black PCB appearance. The new Sapphire Black PCB represents rock-solid
quality and gives the motherboard a more mysterious touch.
12 Power Phase Design
Designed with a 12 Power Phase design, this motherboard features 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.
Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3)
The Worlds Fastest M.2 Socket - PCIe Gen3 x4
The onboard M.2 socket is a new interface for connecting Next Generation
Form Factor (NGFF) SSDs or other devices. ASRock is the first in the world to
implement PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 socket on motherboards. The ultimate Ultra M.2
interface pushes the speed up to 32Gb/s which is 6X faster compared to other M.2
Gen2 x1 solutions that are limited to 5Gb/s.
X Series OC Socket
ASRock’s newly designed LGA2011 CPU socket that adds more pins to boost the
performance of the CPU and memory, plus it also unlocks several hidden voltage
tweaking options for advanced overclocking.
Digi Power
More Precise, More Efficient
Unlike traditional motherboards that use analog power, this motherboard
uses a next generation digital PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) design, which
provides CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly, so that the stability
and lifespan of the motherboard is greatly enhanced.
Purity Soundâ„¢ 2
Purity Soundâ„¢ 2 includes 7.1 CH HD audio with Realtek ALC1150 audio codec,
115dB SNR DAC with Differential Amplifier, TI® NE5532 Premium Headset Amplifier,
cap less Direct Drive technology, EMI shielding cover, PCB isolate shielding and
DTS Connect. As Nichicon audio capacitors are what every audiophile has been
longing for on a PC, ASRock applied these high quality capacitors for Purity
Soundâ„¢ 2.
This frequency response chart was tested with 32 ohm normal headphones. It
indicates how traditional audio solution's frequency response drops drastically
at low frequencies. Compared to traditional audio solution's (2.0dB) at 20 Hz
bass low freq area, Purity Sound 2 still maintains its frequency response
(0.4dB) and provides better bass with the TI NE5532 amplifier,
improving the bass quality by 20% (1.6dB)!

XFast LAN : Your Smartest Internet Access Manager
A-Tuning
A-Tuning is ASRock's multi purpose software suite with a new interface,
more new features and improved utilities, including XFast RAM and a whole lot
more.
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 OMG (Online Management Guard)
Limit and control your children's time spent on the internet. ASRock OMG
(Online Management Guard) technology allows you to establish an internet curfew
or restrict internet access at specified times. Administrators are able to
schedule the starting and ending hours of internet access granted to other
users.
UEFI Tech Service
Contact ASRock Tech Service by sending a support request from the UEFI
setup utility if you are having trouble with your personal computer. Users may
try to choose the category of the issue they have encountered, describe the
problem in detail, and then attach an optional picture or log file for our
technical support team.
Dehumidifier
Dampness kills most electronics, so it's a better idea to keep your
personal computer dry. Now users may prevent motherboard damages due to dampness
by enabling Dehumidifier. When it is enabled, the computer will power on
automatically to dehumidify the system after entering S4/S5 state.
Easy Driver Installer
For users that don’t have an optical disk drive to install the drivers from
our support CD, Easy Driver Installer is a handy tool in the UEFI that installs
the LAN driver to your system via an USB storage device, then downloads and
installs the other required drivers automatically through the internet.
Completely no CD or optical disk drive required!
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.
Tired of listening to crappy audio that makes your ears bleed? Experience
high-quality surround sound from your personal computer. DTS Connect is a
blanket name for a two-part system, including DTS Interactive and DTS Neo:PC, it
is used on the computer platform only, in order to convert PC audio into the DTS
format.
