A few months ago during the CES 2017 ASRock has shown their first batch of socket AM4 motherboards for AMD’s upcoming Ryzen processors and Bristol Ridge APUs. Yesterday, during their latest Webinar session some more information on the X370 Fatal1ty Professional Gaming motherboard has surfaced.


The X370 Fatal1ty Professional Gaming features a black PCB with covers made from red metal. Since the Fatal1ty motherboards usually are flagship models within ASRock’s lineup we don’t believe ASRock will make an exception regarding AMD Ryzen. Furthermore this model might be the more expensive version of the Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4 motherboard, which has been unveiled a few days ago.

Having a more detailed look at the board we see three PCIe Gen 3.0 slots with steel reinforcements and two PCIe slots. Between the first and the second full-sized PCIe slot there are two slots distance providing plenty of space for graphics cards to breathe in the case of multi-GPU setups. On the storage side we see two M.2 slots and there are eight SATA ports. Compared to the Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4, we find a better power design with components from International Rectifier.

Apart from that, on their upcoming socket AM4 based motherboard ASRock will offer the same features that can be be found on the vendor’s Z270 based boards. For example we find a Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 3 audio solution, debug LED, USB 3.1 and RGB headers.
