Dual Ultra M.2 For SSD
Two of the world's fastest PCIe Gen3 x4 Ultra M.2 slots that deliver up to
32Gb/s transfer speed, it also supports SATA3 6Gb/s M.2 modules.
Intel LAN
Intel LAN provides the best throughput performance, lower CPU utilization,
enhanced stability and is able to deliver ultimate network experience to
users!
Intel
Optane Memory Ready
Supports Intel Optane memory technology and Intel Optane storage
technology that redefines a new standard of high performance and
responsiveness.
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.
ASRock Intel 4-Layer Memory POOL Technology
POOL (Planes On Outer Layers) technology allows 4-layer boards to utilize
stripline routing instead of micro-strip routing, making motherboard having
better electrical properties and performance.
USB
Type-C
A latest reversible USB Type-C design that fits the connector either way.
User friendly UEFI & 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 PC's hardware. EZ mode is a dashboard which
contains multiple readings of the system's current status. You can check the
most crucial information of your system, such as CPU speed, DRAM frequency, SATA
information, fan speed, etc.
Digi Power
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.
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.
3 Graphics Outputs
Complete with all three types of most used connectors! Packed with a D-Sub +
DVI-D + HDMI combo. Plus the HDMI port supports 4K resolution.
