ASRock Unveils Z170M OC Formula Mainboard
ASRock came into the market with a new small-sized overclocking-oriented mainboard. Entitled Z170M OC Formula, the model is designed in micro-ATX form-factor on the basis of Intel Z170 chipset. The latter is ready to cooperate with Intel Skylake CPUs for Socket LGA1151. The PCB offers a pair of DIMM slots for DDR4-4500 MHz RAM (up to 32 GB capacity).
ASRock Z170M OC Formula accommodates three PCIe 3.0 x16 expansion slots, enabling the creation of various graphics configurations (including Nvidia SLI & AMD CrossFireX). Storage subsystem is introduced by a pair of SATA Express ports (10 Gb/sec) as well as four SATA ports (6 Gb/sec) and one Ultra M.2 slot (32 Gb/sec).
This motherboard boasts a high-quality audio subsystem; it is based on Realtek ALC1150 controller, generating 7.1-channel sounding (Purity Sound 3). The 10-layer PCB comes with an integrated 14-phase power subsystem with dual-stack MOSFETs, premium choke coils, and solid-state capacitors Nichicon 12K Platinum. Network facilities are realized by means of Intel I2119V controller (gigabit Ethernet).
It should be noted that all key nodes are supplied by heatsinks. The CPU environment received a dedicated circuit that provides for extreme cooling on extreme overclocking process. The board supports Hyper BCLK Engine chip for fine tuning of BCLK frequency.
In addition, the model features rich connectivity options: 5x audio ports, 1x S/PDIF Out, 1x PS/2 Combo, 1x RJ-45, 4x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.1 (Type A/C), 1x HDMI, and 1x DisplayPort.
