PCI-E STEEL SLOTS
The 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 Aluminum Alloy Heatsink
Extra 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 Choke
Compared to traditional chokes, ASRocks premium 60A power chokes effectively
make the saturation current up to three times better, thus providing enhanced
and improved Vcore voltage to the motherboard.

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 m, so the power supply
for the CPU Vcore is more efficient

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
IntelLAN 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
NVIDIAGeForce 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.
Live Update & APP Shop
ASRock Live Update & APP Shop is designed for your convenience. We
