Polychrome SYNC – Irresistible Aesthetics

Rule Your Own Lighting Way - Polychrome RGB

ASRock motherboards deliver stunning performance and superior aesthetics to rule your own colourful lighting way! ASRock offers a very comprehensive control to perform the built-in RGB LEDs or the connected LED strips, CPU fans, coolers, chassis and any RGB devices smoothly. Devices can be synchronized across the Polychrome RGB Sync-certified accessories as well.

*The addressable RGB LED header supports WS2812B addressable RGB LED strip (5V/Data/GND), with a maximum power rating of 3A (5V), a max of 80 LEDs and length within 2 meters.

*The RGB LED header supports standard 5050 RGB LED strip (12V/G/R/B), with a maximum power rating of 3A (12V) and length within 2 meters.

Ultra Cool, Ultra Stable

A Solid M.2-Solution Performer

Dual M.2 for SSD, Supports Type 22110 M.2

Two of the world’s fastest M.2 slots. One delivers up to PCIe Gen3 x4 32Gb/s transfer speed, the other one supports PCIe Gen3 x2 & SATA3 6Gb/s mode.

M.2 Armours

Good M.2 SSD protection is important for longevity and stability. ASRock provides a completed M.2 armour solution on B450 platform that makes SSDs to run in a certain low temperature.

Desired Performance

Dual USB 3.2 Gen2 (Type-A + Type-C)

This motherboard has a pair of onboard Type-A and Type-C USB 3.2 Gen2 ports built on the rear i/o for supporting next generation USB 3.2 Gen2 devices and to deliver up to 10 Gbps data transfer rates.

USB 3.2 Gen2 Doubles the Data Transfer Rate

• 10Gb/s - USB 3.2 Gen2 (2X Faster)

USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C Doubles the Charge Speed!

*Charge speed may vary due to controller protocol, please make sure your device can support 3.0A charging.

• 3.0A - USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C (2X Faster)

Ultra USB Power

Ultra Stable Power

+5V voltage is transferred from the +12V. Supplying enough current to USB devices without dropping voltage directly from the PSU.

Antistatic Shield

Protect mouse/keyboard against static electricity, especially lowering the chances of USB mouse lag or stuttering.

Pure Audio Quality

USB speaker is suggested to be connected via Ultra USB Power ports to perform the pure current and offer high audio quality without distortion.

2oz Copper

It comes with 2 ounces copper inner layers, using only carefully selected copper materials for PCB layers, delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for overclocking.

Rock-Solid Durability

Premium 60A Power Choke

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.

PCI-E Steel Slot

The advanced PCI-E Steel Slot packed with solid cover that prevent any signal interference with graphics cards. It also ensures the heavy graphics cards to be well-installed in the PCI-E slot safely.

AMD StoreMI Technology

A powerful tool that combines the speed of your SSD with the capacity of your hard disk into a single, fast, easy-to-manage drive, AMD StoreMI technology “combines” these two types of storage into a single drive and automatically moves the data you access the most to the SSD, so you get the best of both worlds.

• HDD
• SATA SSD
• NVMe SSD

XXL Aluminium Alloy Heatsink

Extra large aluminium alloy heat sinks that effectively take away heat from the MOSFET and chipset so that your whole system may perform more stable.

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.

Nichicon 12K Black Caps

Supreme 12K black 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 Black Caps that offer 20% longer lifespans and provide more stability and reliability.

I/O Armour

A new designed protective cover for all of the crucial parts near the motherboard's rear I/O, so that they won't easily be damaged by static electricity.

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.

2oz Copper PCB

Using only carefully selected copper materials for PCB layers, 2oz Copper PCB delivers lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for overclocking.

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.
