High Density Glass Fabric PCBWhat 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 moisture in the air killing your motherboard silently and slowly. 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. |
|

12K Platinum CapsSupreme 12K platinum capacitors with a lifespan of at least 12,000 hours. Compared to other counterparts on high-end motherboards that merely have lifespans of around 10,000 hours, these platinum capacitors have a 20% longer lifespan and provide more stability and reliability. |
|
NexFET MOSFET for Memory PowerThe next generation NexFET MOSFETs control the power supply to DRAM slots more efficiently. They provide lower RDS(on) 2.9 mO, delivering higher efficiency and lower temperature. |
|
Dual-Stack MOSFET for CPU PowerDual-Stack MOSFET (DSM) is another innovative MOSFET design by ASRock. The silicon die area is increased by stacking two dies into one MOSFET. The larger the die area, the lower Rds(on). Compared to traditional discrete MOSFET, DSM with larger die area provides extreme lower Rds(on) 1.2 mO, so the power supply for the CPU Vcore is more efficient. |
