Features
12 + 4 Phase Power Design |
Since quite some time ASRock has been equipping its boards with digital power designs. With the OC Formula they are very proud about their quite complex solution which consists of Dual-Stack MOSFET's (DSM), NexFET MOSFETs and 12K Platinum caps. |
|
Purity SoundTM 2 |
The ASRock Purity 2 audio solution is based on a Realtek ALC1150 audio codec and features 115dB SNR. It also comes with EMI shielding for the main chip as well as onboard isolation. In order to improve signal quality, the motherboard features excellent Nichicon onboard capacitors. |
 |
M.2 Support |
The new OC Formula motherboard from ASRock features two M.2 slots. Both have been placed in between full-size PCIe slots. The first slot is connected via two Gen2 lanes offering up to 10Gbps bandwidth. The second slot is connected via four Gen3 lanes and therefore offers up to 32Gbps bandwidth and is therefore more than five times faster than a SATA-III port. |

NickShih's OC Profile |
Overclockers might be aware that it can take ages until ideal settings have been found. For this purpose NickShih, who is ASRocks product manager for this board, already prepared different presets. These presets actually make the life of any overclocker much easier, no matter if he's experienced or not. |
|
Rapid OC |
What you get with this feature are two buttons, which have been placed on the motherboard directly. Their purpose is to make overclocking even easier. In fact you can change the multiplyer, BCLK as well as VCore by simply pressing the plus or minus button. |
 |
Conformal Coating |
Conformal Coating is a special layer, which prevents shortcuts when spilling water or other conductive liquids over the motherboard. In this case overclockers won't have to worry anymore about accidentally spilling liquid nitrogen over the board while overclocking. |
