Installation
During our installation, we used our vertical Open Chassis along with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL 240 AIO cooler. Everything fitted nicely, with no issues whatsoever. There was plenty of room in and around the Intel LGA1700 processor socket.
The only think I wished ASRock should have included, is a little extra RGB trims on the I/O hood … I think this will really compliment the holographic golden ring.
BIOS
The first page you’ll see as soon as you enter the BIOS is the “Easy Mode”. Here you can monitor all the system status on this page. In “Advanced Mode”, you’ll be able to see all the other options available for tweaking your processor, memory and more. Voltages for memory and processor can also be adjusted here.
Other options in the advanced tab allows users to configure settings for the chipset, storage and NVMe, LEDs, as well as onboard devices such as LAN, audio, and Bluetooth.
Since our DDR5 ram is XMP 3.0 ready, we selected Profile 1 and ran the memory at DDR5-6200 speeds. All other BIOS settings were left on AUTO/Default.
For overclockers, the BIOS allows CPU and memory overclocking, and you can also set the CPU frequency and voltages too.
For memory compatibility and QVL (qualified vendors list), I recommend you check ASRock’s QVL page here.
