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.
Surge Protection
Protects the motherboard from excessive surges from the power supply unit.
Lightning Protection
The onboard LAN chip is protected against sudden and violent voltage spikes caused by lightning.
ESD Protection
USB : Added ICs to protect the onboard USB ports from electrostatic discharges.LAN : Prevents the onboard LAN from being damaged by electrostatic discharges.MOSFETs : MOSFETs in critical areas use a special design for protecting them from electrostatic discharge during the installation process.
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 + HDMI combo. Plus the HDMI port supports Full HD 1080p Blu-ray (BD) playback.
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.
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 new High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity.
Gigabit LAN
This ASRock motherboard uses a Realtek gigabit LAN chip to support extremely fast internet connections.
A-Tuning
A-Tuning is ASRock's multi purpose software suite with a new interface, more new features and improved utilities, including XFast RAM and a whole lot more.
