The 6 Layer PCB provides stable signal traces and power shapes delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for memory overclocking! Thus it’s able to support the latest memory modules with most extreme memory performance! 2 ounce copper inner layers that provide stable signal traces and power shapes! Delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for overclocking. DDR5 Memory with Protection Circuit The reinforced DIMM slot is surfaced mounted onto the motherboard to give better physical strength as well as a more stable memory signal with this superior revolutionary design it is able to dramatically overclock DRAM module up to insane frequency. Due to the unique electrical architecture of DDR5 DIMM there?s a high risk of damaging the memory module if AC power isn?t disconnected properly during removal or installation. To prevent this ASRock has implemented a trouble free protection circuit on every DDR5 motherboard lowers the risk of damaging your memory module. PCIe 5.0 + Surface-Mount Tech Compares to conventional DIP style PCIe slot the SMT type PCIe slot improves signal flow and maximize stability under high speed a key breakthrough to fully support the lighting speed of the latest PCIe 5.0 standard. The latest PCI Express 5.0 is capable to perform a breathtaking bandwidth of 128GBps ready to unleash the full potential of future high end graphic cards. Nahimic Audio Whether you are using headphones a headset external or internal speakers via USB Wi-Fi analog output or even HDMI Nahimic Audio offers you the most engaging listening experience vibrant and rich with details. The Powerful algorithms to ensure the best noise-free conversation giving a constant vocal level no matter the distance from your mic. The Nahimic audio engine dynamically clear the sound and remove interference noise and lower the voice variation. Result is a better comprehension and less fatigue. Sound Tracker The Sound Tracker is a visual indicator that points out the directions from which predominant sounds are coming. Each sound is properly positioned in 360 degree on a radar for a full immersion during the game. ASRock Graphics Card Holder Install your heavy graphics card on the holder; connect it to your motherboard and chassis with screws. Flexibly slide up and down to perfectly adjust the height required for your graphics card in place. POLYCHROME RGB In addition to the built-in RGB illumination it also features onboard RGB headers and an addressable RGB header that allow motherboard to be connected to compatible LED devices such as strip CPU fans coolers chassis and so on. Users may also synchronize RGB LED devices across the Polychrome RGB Sync-certified accessories to create their own unique lighting effects.
