- 2 x M.2 Socket 3 connectors
- 8 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors
Lacking is a U2 storage connector, which quite frankly nobody uses, and ditto to the SATA Express slot, we love the obvious and somewhat bold choice from ASRock here.
The audio solution is based on Realktek with the new 1220 CODEC (7.1). Nichicon capacitors are suited for high-grade audio equipment, using state of the art technology to provide rich sound in the bass and clearer high frequencies. Overall you cannot complain really, especially as ASRock also applies a Creative Labs audio suite.
A pretty cool design. You can spot two M.2. slots and also take note of the metal cover on the primary x16 PCI-Express slots. It provides a sturdier and stronger slot, handy for very heavy graphics cards.
Just one 8-pin connector to power that processor of yours, but it should be plenty though. The motherboard has a 10-Phase Digital Power Delivery Design, albeit a quick count shows 12 :) Maybe 10+2 for memory.
