  • a 2oz copper PCB

  • six SATA III 6gb/s ports
  • four SATA II 3gb/s ports
  • four PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots (4-way SLI/CFX support)

ASRock have also taken into consideration that additional connectivity may be needed for devices such as sound or network cards and consequently included a PCI-E 2.0 1X  slot and two PCI slots. There is a healthy six USB 3.0 ports provided four by the rear panel and two via a front header intended for the case. For overclockers there is a useful diagnostic debug LED provided, onboard 7.1 HD audio is provided, two eSATA ports, one Fatal1ty mouse port (USB 2.0, allows users to set the mouse polling rate to 500 Hz), Gigabit Ethernet, a FireWire port, and a Clear CMOS button.

It also packs the traditional ASRock technologies like XFast USB and XFast LAN as well as being bundled with an 3.5" front panel USB 3.0 to internal header connector for cases which do not have native USB 3.0 support.
