Description

Three video outputs and 4K over HDMI

The rear panel carries HDMI, DVI-D and D-Sub, so both a new and an older monitor can be connected. HDMI supports 4K at 60 Hz. The outputs only work with a processor that has integrated graphics, because the picture comes from the CPU. The M.2 slot accepts both PCIe Gen3 x4 and SATA SSDs, and the board supports up to five drives in total. 50A power chokes and Full Spike Protection guard the components against voltage spikes.

Who this motherboard is for

Anyone building an office or home PC around an AM4 processor and DDR4 memory; users upgrading an older system who want to keep a DVI or D-Sub monitor; and anyone for whom wired networking and two memory slots in a compact micro-ATX case are enough.

Questions & answers

Which processors does this motherboard support?

The board has an AM4 socket, and the manufacturer data lists AMD Ryzen 3000 Series as the compatible series. Support for a specific model and the required BIOS version are in the ASRock CPU support list.

Do the video outputs work with any processor?

No. HDMI, DVI-D and D-Sub only output a picture with a processor that has integrated graphics. With a CPU without graphics, a separate graphics card in the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot is needed.

Does the board have Wi-Fi?

No, there is no Wi-Fi module on the board. Networking runs through the Gigabit Ethernet port, which also supports Wake-on-LAN.
