How to use

Install a compatible AMD Socket AM5 processor and DDR5 memory modules into the four DIMM slots, mount M.2 or SATA drives as needed, and connect power using the 24‑pin ATX connector and CPU power headers. Use the UEFI BIOS (AMI) to configure memory XMP/OC settings, storage RAID (0/1/10 supported) and boot order. Connect network and peripherals via the rear USB and Type‑C ports or via Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth. Install Windows 10/11 64‑bit drivers provided by ASRock for full hardware support.

Recommendations

For stable performance with high core‑count Ryzen processors and overclocking, use a high‑quality ErP/EuP‑ready PSU and ensure adequate case cooling. Use NVMe drives in the PCIe Gen5 M.2 slots for maximum storage throughput and enable the M.2 heatsinks when installing high‑performance SSDs.
