Ultra M.2
The onboard M.2 socket is a new interface for connecting Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) SSDs or other devices. ASRock is the first in the world to implement PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 socket on motherboards. The ultimate Ultra M.2 interface pushes the speed up to 32Gb/s which is 6X faster compared to other M.2 Gen2 x1 solutions that are limited to 5Gb/s. In addition to support PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 modules, the Ultra M.2 also supports SATA3 6Gb/s M.2 modules.
Compared to other M.2 design, Ultra M.2 design uses PCIe Gen3 x4 bandwidth from CPU directly which delivers lower latency and higher speed.
Support 5 types of M.2 devices: 30 mm, 42 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, and 110 mm
XXL Aluminum Alloy Heatsink Design
The extra large aluminum alloy heatsinks provide super fast heat dissipation. All MOSFETs and chipset areas are well covered by these heatsinks to protect them from overheating. The CPU and chipset can therefore perform with lower temperature, and your motherboard and system will be more stable and reliable.
Premium Memory Alloy Choke
Specially designed for memory power delivery, the new-gen alloy chokes feature a highly magnetic and heat resistant design, thus delivering more stable and reliable power to the motherboard.
Ultra Dual-N MOSFET
Combining with two silicon dies into one MOSFET, Ultra Dual-N MOSFET provides larger die area and lower Rds(on), so the power supply for the CPU Vcore is more efficient.
NexFET™ MOSFET
The next generation NexFET™ MOSFETs provide higher efficiency with lower temperature and lower RDS(on) 2.9 mΩ. ASRock applied a special design on NexFET™ MOSFETs to offer up to 7.5 times the ESD protection levels compared to traditional MOSFETs.
NexFET MOSFETs in memory areas use a special design for protecting them from electrostatic discharge and offer up to 7.5 times the ESD protection levels compared to traditional MOSFETs.

Purity Sound™ 2
Purity Sound™ 2 includes 7.1 CH HD audio with Realtek ALC1150 audio codec, 115dB SNR DAC with Differential Amplifier, cap less Direct Drive technology, EMI shielding cover, PCB isolate shielding, and DTS Connect. As Nichicon audio capacitors are what every audiophile has been longing for on a PC, ASRock applied these high quality capacitors for Purity Sound™ 2.
This frequency response chart was tested with 32 ohm normal headphones. It indicates how traditional audio solution's frequency response drops drastically at low frequencies. Compared to traditional audio solution's (2.0dB) at 20 Hz bass low freq area, Purity Sound™ still maintains its frequency response (0.4dB) and provides better bass with the TI® NE5532 amplifier, improving the bass quality by 20% (1.6dB)!

HDD Saver Technology
There is a dedicated 4-pin HDD Saver Connector placed near the SATA ports. By connecting it to the HDDs, you can switch on and off the HDDs via software when needed. HDD Saver Technology secures more privacy, saves more energy, and extends the HDDs' life spans.
2 HDDs connected to the motherboard can be switched
on or off when needed.
2 HDDs connected to the power supply unit can be switched on or off along with the PC only.
Use the Hotkey [Ctrl + Alt + S] to run HDD Saver under OS.
Once you shut down your connected HDDs, they will disappear from your file explorer screen. Therefore other people won't even know these HDDs existed, nor can they access your private data stored on these HDDs. You can protect your privacy easily.
Shut down and hide up to 2 HDDs for privacy when needed
Without HDD Saver Technology, all HDDs are visible all the time. Your privacy is NOT protected!
Many HDDs are used for storing data only, while ODD is not frequently used. However, these occupied HDDs/ODD still consume a lot of energy and increase the internal temperature of the chassis when idle. This eco-friendly design allows you to shut down those devices for saving more energy. You can turn them back on anytime you need them.
Switch on or off the connected HDD/ODD whenever you want! Save more energy!
It is always annoying when your HDDs fail, not to mention the loss of your precious photos, videos, data, etc. By avoiding shutting your HDDs on and off frequently, you can protect them from any potential damage and prolong your HDDs' life.
