The modern ASRock X870 PRO RS motherboard for the AM5 socket delivers top-tier performance for Ryzen processors and the ideal feature set for both gaming and creator builds. It stands out with a robust 14+2+1 power design with Dr.MOS 80 A, support for DDR5 up to 8000+ (OC), PCIe 5.0 x16, and ultra-fast Blazing M.2 (PCIe Gen5x4) slots. Also included are USB4 40 Gbps, 2.5G LAN, high-quality ALC1220 audio with Nahimic, and smart solutions for easy assembly and M.2 cooling.
The ASRock X870 PRO RS is built on an 8-layer PCB with a robust power design to provide stability, low temperatures, and headroom for effective overclocking. With support for DDR5 memory with XMP/EXPO, you can reach higher frequencies without complex tuning. Graphics cards benefit from PCIe 5.0 x16 with steel reinforcement, and storage is served by a trio of M.2 slots including a Gen5 Blazing slot with an enlarged heatsink.
The board features dual USB4 Type‑C on the rear, a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type‑C front-panel header, a rich selection of USB 3.2/2.0 ports, and Realtek 2.5G LAN. The audio section with Realtek ALC1220 7.1 HD and Nahimic Audio delivers clean sound, noise suppression, and gaming features like Sound Tracker. Polychrome RGB enables lighting synchronization with compatible components.
Builder-friendly features include tool‑less M.2 mounting and quick-release heatsinks, BIOS Flashback for easy updates without CPU/RAM, Hi‑Density Power connectors for higher current capacity, and an integrated I/O shield with fine-fit adjustment. Quality 1000 µF capacitors, enhanced heatsinks, and thoughtful cooling ensure long-term reliability and stable performance.
