Prepare yourself well to enjoy the impressive world of Virtual Reality Before that you have to make sure everything is qualified including hardware software & drivers Motherboard is the key to connect every critical components & ASRock’s VR Ready motherboards are definitely the one you’re looking for The premium qualify is assured by rigorous testing during development The sturdy components & rock-slid performance makes you completely immersive in the VR scenario Users can be assured to experience VR enjoyments without any compatibility problems Ultra M2 32 Gbs (PCIe Gen 3 x 4 & SATA3) The PCIe Gen 3 x 4 Ultra M2 interface pushes data transfer speeds up to 32 Gbs In addition it also supports SATA3 6 Gbs M2 modules & is compatible with ASRock’s U2 Kit for installing some of the world’s fastest U2 PCIe Gen 3 x 4 SSDs Dual Intel LAN Users are able to connect two LAN cables to this motherboard&s rear IO Dual LAN with Teaming function enabled on this motherboard allows two single connections to act as one single connection for twice the transmission bandwidth making data transmission more effective Intel Optane™ Memory Ready Supports Intel Optane™ memory technology & Intel Optane™ storage technology that redenes a new standard of high performance & responsiveness Dual Band 80211ac Wi Fi No one has time for weak Wi Fi signals & sluggish internet! That&s why this motherboard comes with a 80211ac Wi Fi (24G 5G Wi Fi) module which supports wireless networks & Bluetooth v 40 Premium Power Choke Compared to traditional chokes ASRock’s premium power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times better thus providing enhanced & enhanced Vcore voltage to the motherboard 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) 12 m& Omega; so the power supply for the CPU Vcore is more efficient Nichicon 12K Black Caps A combination of 820u F & 100u F capacitors Together these capacitors provide clearer efficient & more responsive CPU Vcore power & overclockers may achieve higher scores Sapphire Black PCB Pure black PCB appearance The new Sapphire Black PCB represents rock-solid quality & gives the motherboard a more mysterious touch 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 User friendly UEFI & EZ Mode ASRock UEFI is the smoothest slickest mouse-controlled BIOS has been enhanced to make it even more friendly Advanced mode provides a more comprehensive environment that is designed for overclockers & 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 & smoothly so that the stability & lifespan of the motherboard is greatly enhanced Triple Monitor Graphics graphics & 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 io to connect monitors & use them simultaneously without installing another graphics card Water Pump Header This is not only a standard CPU fan header but also supports water pumps! This header provides a maximum of 15A 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 & enhanced utilities Live Update & APP Shop ASRock Live Update & APP Shop is designed for your convenience We provide various apps & support software for users to download You can also easily optimize your system & keep your motherboard up to date with ASRock Live Update & APP Shop Memory Number of memory
