User friendly UEFI & EZ Mode
ASRock UEFI is the smoothest, slickest mouse-controlled BIOS has been
improved to make it even more friendly. Advanced mode provides a more
comprehensive environment that is designed for overclockers and power users who
want maximum control over their PCs hardware. EZ mode is a dashboard which
contains multiple readings of the systems current status. You can check the most
crucial information of your system, such as CPU speed, DRAM frequency, SATA
information, fan speed, etc.

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.
M.2 (KEY E) For WiFi
Besides the onboard LAN port, users may also choose 802.11ac wireless
connections by M.2 (Key E) slot.
*Wi-Fi module is not included.
Water Pump Header
