Super Alloy Motherboard Premium 45A Power Choke Compared to traditional chokes ASRock’s premium 45A power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times better thus providing enhanced & enhanced Vcore voltage to the motherboard Premium Memory Alloy Choke Specifically designed for memory power delivery these new alloy chokes feature a highly magnetic & heat resistant design thus delivering more stable & reliable power to the motherboard & memory modules Sapphire Black PCBPure black PCB appearance The new Sapphire Black PCB represents rock-solid quality & gives the motherboard a more mysterious touch High Density Glass Fabric PCBHigh Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity 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 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 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 M2 (KEY E) For Wi Fi Besides the onboard LAN port users may also choose 80211ac wireless connections by M2 (Key E) slot 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 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 A-Tuning A-Tuning is ASRock&s multi purpose software suite with a new interface more new features & enhanced utilities ELNA Audio Caps Who says high quality audio is only available on high-end motherboards? ASRock applied ELNA audio capacitors on mainstream & entry-level motherboards! Compared with traditional solid caps the leakage current of ELNA audio caps is merely 3u A This is the key to reduce noise level significantly & satisfy even the pickiest audiophiles Specification Motherboard Type Desktop Form Factor ATXSocket 1151 Chipset Intel Z370 Hide DDR Type DDR4RAM Technology DDR4 (Dual Channel)RAM Slots 4 x DIMMRAM Speeds 4266 (OC) 4133 (OC) 4000 (OC) 3866 (OC) 3800 (OC) 3733 (OC) 3600 (OC) 3200 (OC) 2933 (OC) 2800 (OC) 2666 2400 2133 MHz Maximum Memory 64GBGraphics Supports Intel HD Graphics Graphics Ports 1 x VGA1 x DVI-D1 x HDMIMulti-GPU Support Supports AMD Quad Cross Fire X Technology PCI Express 2 x PCIe 30 x 163 x PCIe 30 x 1PCI 1 x PCIStorage 6 x SATA III2 x Ultra M2 (2230224222602280)RAID "RAID 0 1 5 10" Wireless -LAN GB LANAudio 71 CH HD Audio with Content Protection (Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec)USB Ports "1 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 31 Gen 1 Type-C (at back)7 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 31 Gen 1 (A) (5 at back 2 at mid-board)5 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 20 (at mid-board)" Back Panel IO Ports 2 x Antenna 1 x PS2 Mouse Keyboard 1 x D-Sub 1 x DVI-D1 x HDMI5 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 31 Gen 1 Type-A1 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 31 Gen 1 Type-C1 x RJ-45 LANHD Audio Jacks Internal IO Connectors 1 x COM Port 1 x TPM1 x Chassis Intrusion 1 x Power LED & Speaker 1 x CPU Fan 1 x 24 pin ATX1 x 8 pin 12V1 x Front Audio 1 x Thunderbolt AIC3 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 201 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 31 Gen 12 x Chassis Fan 1 x Chassis Optional Water Pump Fan CPU Support See manufacturers link (next to product images) Accessories " Quick Installation Guide Support CD IO Shield 2 x SATA Data Cables 3 x Screws for M2 Sockets" Package Type Retail Additional Features See Overview Package Weight 12620kg Warranty 3 Years
