<b>High Density Glass Fabric PCB</b>
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.
<b>D-Sub, HDMI, Parallel, COM</b>
Packed with a COM port + Printer port + D-Sub + HDMI combo. Plus the HDMI port supports Full HD 1080p Blu-ray (BD) playback.
<b>HEVC (H.265) Decoding</b>
Supports HEVC (H.265) decoding to provide substantially improved video quality.
<b>Intel® Quad-Core Processor J3160 (Up to 2.24 GHz)</b>
Improved performance, lower power consumption, and new multimedia capabilities.
<b>Supports Standard & Low Voltage SO-DIMMs</b>
Capable of supporting both standard and low-voltage SO-DIMMs.
<b>16GB Memory Support</b>
Each slot supports 8GB memory modules, thus delivering a maximum capacity up to 16GB.
<b>Power Gear</b>
Toggle between three operational modes (Eco, Normal and Sport) to maximize performance or conserve energy. Use Eco mode for saving power during torrent downloads or other light activities, normal mode for regular tasks such as web surfing or word processing, and then shift to Sport mode to take on heavy jobs such as gaming or 4K video playback.
<b>ELNA Audio Caps</b>
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.
<b>Live Update & APP Shop</b>
ASRock Live Update & APP Shop is designed for your convenience. We provide various apps and support software for users to download. You can also easily optimize your system and keep your motherboard up to date with ASRock Live Update & APP Shop.
<b>Full Spike Protection</b>
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.
<b>USB Key</b>
In a world where time is money, why waste precious time everyday typing usernames to log in to Windows? Why should we even bother memorizing those foot long passwords? Nobody has time for that! Just plug in the USB Key and let your computer log in to windows automatically!
<b>Restart to UEFI</b>
Fast Boot is so fast that it is impossible for users to enter the UEFI setup utility during POST. Therefore, ASRock Restart to UEFI technology allows users to easily enter the UEFI setup utility automatically when turning on the PC next time. It is designed for those who constantly need to enter the UEFI setup utility.
ASRock XFast RAM fully utilizes the memory space that cannot be used under Windows® 32-bit operating systems. It shortens the loading time of previously visited websites, making web surfing faster than ever. And it also boosts the speed of Adobe Photoshop 5 times faster. Another advantage of ASRock XFast RAM is that it reduces the frequency of accessing your SSDs or HDDs in order to extend their lifespan.
When Internet Explorer loads very slowly for no clear reason, it's usually due to inefficient management. ASRock is rolling out super efficient web management in the motherboard industry. XFast LAN is a convenient tool that controls internet related applications easily and efficiently. Creating a perfect Internet environment, all you need is a smart manager. ASRock XFast LAN allows you to enjoy more speed, easier multitasking, enhanced multimedia experience, and more – all without weighing you down.
This motherboard supports HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) which is an interface standard for transferring uncompressed video data and delivering multi-channel audio through a single cable. Both video and audio data signals transferred through the HDMI™ interface are digital without being converted into analog, therefore it delivers the richest pictures and the most realistic sounds.
