That being said, the motherboard offers two RGB LED headers, so you can light up if you like or keep things dark if you so choose.The X399 Professional Gaming features dual Intel NICs, an Aquantia 10Gbit NIC, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, SATA6Gb/s, three Ultra M.2 slots, support for up to 4-way SLI/CrossFireX, U.2, and even multiple RGB LED headers.Just like almost every other X399 motherboard, the PCI-E slots are hard-wired x16/x8/x16/x8 PCI-E 3.0.
If you see the value in it, then it's worth it, and if you don't, then the Taichi is better for you if you want to stick with ASRock. A single PCI-E 2.0 x1 slot is located at the center, and there isn't a x4 slot because the Aquantia 10G NIC gets those four lanes from the X399 chipset. Each memory VRM uses a UPI Semiconductor uP1647P PWM to control and drive two SinoPower SM7341EHKP dual N-Channel MOSFETs.An Intel Wireless AC 3168NGW 1x1 Wireless AC card is used to provide up to 433Mbps of WIFI. The SoC VRM uses three IR3555 PowIRstages. An ICS clock generator is used to enhance clock overclocking; its model number is ICS 9VRS4883BKLF.The X399 Professional Gaming has the same VRM as the X399 Taichi and uses the same heat sink design. Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3, Premium-grade CPU Cooler for AMD sTRX4/TR4/SP3 (140mm, Brown) £77.32 A larger difference in temperature between the back and front of the PCB points towards a more effective heat sink.The motherboard features two ASMedia ASM1480 that switch x4 PCI-E 3.0 from the CPU to either M2_1 or the U.2 port.I expect differences like that to even out as we move towards more consistent microcode updates in AMD's AGESA code for this platform. There are five ratings for audio: 1. $31 for 12 months with PayPal Creditopens a installment calculator layer* $31 for 12 months. Supported CPU. It's a fully digital cutting edge PWM and controls eight IR3555 fully integrated power stages rated at 60A each.
The codec also has an integrated amplifier for the headphone/speaker jack, and ASRock added a Texas Instruments NE5532 to amplify the front panel header output. The motherboard also features dual CPU power inputs, with the 8-pin at the top right corner.The ASRock X399 Professional Gaming has you covered at home or even in a professional setting. Model ASRock X399 Professional Gaming. Series Fatal1ty. We find two Intel i211AT 1Gbit NICs on the motherboard as well.All systems will act differently, so I will look for commonalities, such as how far from the VRM the heat spreads through the PCB and the difference in temperature between the front side and backside of the PCB. Fan control is quite good and menu and GUI options as both available. Problems, 2. A COM port is located near the audio headers, and that is one feature this board has over the Taichi. A nuvoton N76E885AT20 provides RGB LED control, and a drivers and receivers chip (labeled 232GG) provides the COM port header.The rear IO panel features BIOS Flashback button, PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, WIFI antenna, eight USB 3.0 ports, USB 3.1 type-A, USB 3.1 type-C, two Gbit ports, one 10Gbit port, and 7.1 gold-plated audio outputs with S/PDIF output.To achieve the above overclock I set the CPU overclocking mode to manual, input CPU frequency of 4000MHz and set VCore to 1.325v. Very good, 5.
Networking performance could be better.The motherboard's box and packaging are similar to the rest of ASRock's killer lineup. AMD X399 ; Ryzen Threadripper Series ; DDR4 3600+(OC)/ 3200(OC)/ 2933(OC)/ 2667/ 2400/ 2133 . ExcellentThe Zenith Extreme and the X399 Professional Gaming both use the Aquantia AQC107 10Gbit NBase-T NIC, and it does operate near 9400Mbps as it should. Model X399 Professional Gaming. An ASMedia ASM1543 type-C switch and CC logic chip are used for the rear IO panel's type-C port.
