Description

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. 4K is the standard for display resolutions with a minimum of 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of the 1080p format and four times as many pixels overall. Get ready to lose yourself in this eye popping virtual reality. ASRock has a High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity. 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.

  • High Density Glass Fabric PCB

    What you've never understood about your computer is that it is scared to death of water, H2O, humidity or whatever you'd like to name it. And even though you do not see the water, actually there may be lots of excessive moist in the air killing your motherboard silently and slowly. No, your motherboard doesn't melt when in contact with water like the wicked witch of the west, but it dies of short circuit. Luckily, ASRock has a 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.
  • 4K x 2K

    4K is the standard for display resolutions with a minimum of 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of the 1080p format and four times as many pixels overall. Get ready to lose yourself in this eye popping virtual reality.
  • ELNA audio caps

    Who says high quality audio is only available on high-end motherboards? ASRock applied ELNA audio capacitors on mainstream and entry-level motherboards! Compared with traditional solid caps, the leakage current of ELNA audio caps is merely 3uA. This is the key to reduce noise level significantly and satisfy even the pickiest audiophiles.
  • 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.
