Installation
Installation was a breeze and we didn’t encounter any issues whatsoever. We used the our standard Open Chassis for our test rig and everything fitted nicely.
For cooling, we used a Thermaltake ToughLiquid 360 Ultra AIO cooler and there was plenty of room in and around the LGA 1700 processor socket.
There’s no RGB on the I/O hood, but you do get some RGB lighting near the M.2 heatsink along the bottom of the motherboard.
BIOS
The first page you’ll see in the BIOS is the default Easy Mode. This page shows you the BIOS version, the processor type, the speed of the CPU and the total memory, including the default speed of the ram.
The ASRock B760M Steel Legend WiFi is able to support both AMD’s EXPO and Intel’s XMP. During our test, we used the Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-7200, which is fully XMP 3.0 certified. All we had to do was to enable XMP profile in the BIOS and that’s it!
If you select “Advanced Mode”, you’ll then see even more options available for tweaking your processor, memory and more. Voltages for memory and processor can also be adjusted here.
For overclockers, the BIOS allows CPU and memory overclocking, and you can also set the CPU frequency and voltages too.
The other options allows users to configure settings for CPU, chipset, storage and NVMe, LEDs, as well as onboard devices such as LAN, audio, and Bluetooth.
For storage/memory compatibility and QVL (qualified vendors list), I recommend you check ASRock’s QVL page here.
