ASRock UEFI – is comfortable and easy in using BIOS with the computer mouse support. For experienced users and overclockers there is an extended mode. EZ mode – is the informational panel of the system condition. It shows the information about CPU, DRAM, SATA conditions, the fan operation and other components of the system.

Unlike average motherboards, where the analogue power circuits are used, this motherboard uses the new-edge technology of digital pulse-width modulation,which provides more effective and sustainable supply of CPU. Though, it significantly increases the constancy and the service life of the motherboard.

There is a slot for the water cooling system supply. It gives the stream of 1,5 amp and suits to all popular models of cooling systems. The voltage can be increased for having much more effective cooling effect.

There are two PCIe x16 slots each given a steel cover (secondary is electrically x8), and there is a double space between them ensuring compatibility for triple slot coolers. There are an additional 4x PCIe x1 slots.
