Optimized VRM Design
The Dr.MOS design features the latest SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology. It is optimized to monitor the current and temperature of each phase, delivering smoother and tidier power to the CPU with improved performance and OC capability.
 
24+2+1 power phase design
With rugged components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Additionally, it offers unmatched overclocking capabilities and improved performance at the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.
 
Server Grade Low Loss PCB
Server-grade low-loss PCB improves signal integrity, allowing the motherboard to support PCIe 5.0 for both graphics card and M.2 SSD, also improves OC potential of memory to deliver the most extreme memory performance.
 
8 Layer PCB Design
The 8-layer PCB provides stable signal traces and power forms that deliver lower temperature and higher power efficiency, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting system while delivering maximum performance without any compromise.
 
12cm Carrara Edition Cooling Fan
Replace the rear fan to give it a carrara style look consistent with the motherboard.
 
Composite VRM Heatsink
It is equipped with a VRM composite heatsink that combines a cooling fan, a larger aluminum heatsink, and a heat pipe for maximum heat dissipation.
 
DDR5 memory with protection circuit
The reinforced DIMM slot is mounted on the surface of the motherboard to provide better physical strength and more stable memory signal. With this superior revolutionary design, it is able to dramatically accelerate the DRAM module to an incredible frequency.
Due to the unique electrical architecture of DDR5 DIMM, there is a high risk of damaging the memory module if AC power is not properly disconnected during removal or installation. To prevent this, ASRock has implemented a seamless protection circuit on each DDR5 motherboard, reducing the risk of damaging the memory module.

PCIe 5.0 + surface mount technology
Compared to the conventional DIP-style PCIe slot, the SMT-type PCIe slot improves signal flow and maximizes high-speed stability, a key advancement to fully support the lighting speed of the latest PCIe 5.0 standard.
The latest PCI Express 5.0 is capable of an impressive 128GBps of bandwidth, ready to unleash the full potential of future high-end graphics cards.
 
Blazing OC Tuner
The Blazing OC Tuner allows the AM5 CPU to switch between OC mode and PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) mode when the CPU current reaches the threshold. Anything above the current threshold will activate manual OC mode; if it is below the current threshold, it will activate Precision Boost Overdrive mode. This idea is to combine overclocking on all cores and auto boost on a single core to get the best performance from your CPU. No need to enter BIOS to configure, you can modify all settings in time in the operating system.

Lightning ports for gaming
Aimed at the hardcore gamers and enthusiasts! Lightning Gaming ports come from two different controller interfaces that help gamers connect high-speed mice/keyboards with lower jitter and latency.
 
RGB POLYCHROME
In addition to built-in RGB lighting, it also features integrated RGB headers and an addressable RGB header that allows the motherboard to connect to compatible LED devices such as strips, CPU fans, coolers, chassis, etc. Users can also sync RGB LED fixtures through certified Polychrome RGB Sync accessories to create their own unique lighting effects.
 
High-speed M.2 solution
The Blazing M.2 adapts to the latest PCI Express 5.0 standard to realize double the bandwidth compared to the previous generation, with an impressive transfer speed of 128 GB/s, it is ready to unleash the full potential of future Ultra-fast SSDs.
To unleash the full potential of the latest PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSD, an M.2 fan cooler was specially designed for ASRock motherboard. It is capable of delivering maximum cooling performance for stability and maintaining peak performance.
 
WiFi 6E 802.11ax
WiFi 6E technology has been extended to the entire new 6 GHz spectrum band, bringing more WiFi capacity and delivering even better and faster Internet traffic. In addition to offering higher speeds, WiFi 6E also improves lower latency and supports service levels equivalent to 5G networks.
 
Front USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C
