Supports 9th and 8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (Socket 1151) Supports DDR4 2666 1 PCIe 3.0 x16 Graphics Output Options: HDMI, DVI-I, DisplayPort 7.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC887 Audio Codec), ELNA Audio Caps 4 SATA3, 1 Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3) 6 USB 3.1 Gen1 (2 Front, 4 Rear) Intel® Gigabit LAN Intel® 802.11ac WiFi + BT 4.2 Supports PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3 Type 22110 M.2 The PCIe Gen3 x4 Ultra M.2 interface pushes data transfer speeds up to 32Gb/s. In addition, it is also ready for higher capacity and even faster Type 22110 M.2 NVMe SSD to fulfill the need of performance. Dual Band 802.11ac WiFi No one has time for weak WiFi signals and sluggish internet! That''s why this motherboard comes with a 802.11ac WiFi (2.4G / 5G WiFi) module which supports wireless networks and Bluetooth v4.2. 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. Premium 60A Power Choke Compared to traditional chokes, ASRock''s premium 60A power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times better, thus providing enhanced and improved 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) 1.2 m?, so the power supply for the CPU Vcore is more efficient. Sapphire Black PCB Pure black PCB appearance. The new Sapphire Black PCB represents rock-solid quality and 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. 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 DisplayPort + DVI-I + HDMI combo. 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. A-Tuning A-Tuning is ASRock''s multi purpose software suite with a new interface, more new features and improved utilities. Full Spike Protection Some sensitive digital components on the motherboard are vulnerable to power surges, the excessive current may cause your system to malfunction immediately. ASRock Full Spike Protection includes various technologies to prevent your motherboard''s components from being damaged by these unexpected voltage spikes.
