ASRock guarantees VRM stability for Intel processors® Xeon® W-2400 and W-3400 series and DDR5 memory under all conditions and system loads. Its leading VRM design features 20+2 Power Phases with 90A SPS, Nichicon 12K Black Capacitors and server-grade power chokes, mounted on a low-loss 14-layer PCB, which prevents the PCB from bending and ensures signal integrity even under extreme performance conditions.

On top of the VRMs is a large array of aluminum fins with three fans for active cooling, plus an aluminum alloy heatpipe and heatsink on the rear panel, which acts to further dissipate heat. Users can also manually adjust the fan speed curve in the BIOS to suit their individual needs.

Network connectivity includes dual 10GbE LANs (Marvell AQC113CS), ensuring super-fast file transfers, whether for network or cloud storage. an intel® I225LM (2.5GbE LAN) with vPro, provides Intel Technology® Active Management e Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA), enabling reliable remote management for corporate environments. In addition, Wi-Fi 6E with 2×2 antenna for connection reliability provides gigabit-class wireless networking, offering the convenience of built-in high-speed wireless connectivity.
