10G BASE-T LAN

Two 10G BASE-T LAN ports by Intel® X540 plus another two gigabit LAN ports by Intel® I210AT. The four LAN ports on this motherboard support Teaming, which allows four connections to act as one single connection for an unearthly transmission bandwidth.

4-Way SLI & CrossFireX Supported by Two PLX PEX 8747 Bridge Chips

PLX PEX 8747 is a PCIe Gen3 bridge chip that offers solid PCIe 3.0 lanes for PCIe devices and is optimized to support high performance graphics. Via the two PLX PEX 8747 bridge chips onboard, this motherboard is able to support 4-Way SLI or 4-Way CrossFireX at PCIe Gen3 x16/x16/x16/x16 mode with four graphics cards.

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 Thin Design to Fit 1U Chassis

The back of motherboard is mounted with ultra short screws and the length of the CPU back plate is less than 3mm, allowing this board to fit in server-grade 1U chassis.

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 for Memory Power

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.

Sapphire Black PCB

Pure black PCB appearance. The new Sapphire Black PCB represents rock-solid quality and gives the motherboard a more mysterious touch.
