Optimized VRM Design

SPS (Smart Power Stage) - Dr.MOS design features the latest SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology. It’s optimized for monitoring current and temperature of each phase, thus delivering smoother and neater power to the CPU with enhanced performance and OC capability.
20+2 Power Phase Design - Featuring sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capabilities and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.
14 Layer PCB - The 14 Layer PCB provides stable signal traces and power shapes delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for memory overclocking! Thus, it's able to support the latest memory modules with most extreme memory performance!
Composite VRM Heatsink - The advanced cooling system of the composite VRM heatsink provides efficient heat dissipation, which means users can enjoy high-performance computing without having to worry about thermal issues. The triple EBR cooling fans, XXL aluminum-alloy heatsink, aluminum fin array, and heat pipe work together to maintain optimal temperature levels for the system, ensuring smooth and stable operation even under heavy workloads.
Server-Grade Ultral Low-Loss PCB - The server grade PCB prevents PCB bending and improves signal integrity, giving higher PCIe 5.0 and memory performance as well as system stability, giving a reliable and long-lasting system without any compromise.
Digi Power - Unlike traditional motherboards that use analog power, this motherboard uses a next generation digital PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) design, which provides CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly, so that the stability and lifespan of the motherboard is greatly enhanced.

DDR5 ECC Memory Support

ASRock W790 WS supports 8 DIMMs Quad-Channel DDR5 RDIMM ECC Memory overclocking with max capacity of 2048GB and is able to automatically detected and corrected data corruption, reducing the chance of system crashes to ensure workstation stability with multiple memory modules.

PCIe Gen5 Blazing M.2

The Blazing M.2 accommodates the latest PCI Express 5.0 standard to perform twice the bandwidth compared to previous generation, with a breathtaking 128Gb/s transfer speed, it is ready to unleash the full potential of future ultrafast SSDs.

Dual AQUANTIA® / Marvell 10GbE LAN

Equipped with dual Marvell (Aquantia) 10GbE controller. The new 10Gb/s network standard was specially designed to satisfy the user who is seeking immediate performance improvements. It offers blazingly fast 10-gigabit/sec transfer speed over Cat6 cable. The 10Gb/s Ethernet not only fully compatible with 5Gb/s, 2.5Gb/s & Gigabit Lan but also delivers lightning fast transfer speed, perfect for media center, workstation and gaming PC.

Supports Intel® vPro technology

The Intel® Ethernet Controller I225LM is designed for use on any mobile, desktop, workstation, value-server, or industrial designs that have critical space constraints. Featuring 2.5Gb/s Ethernet and supports Intel® Active Management Technology on systems enabled with Intel® vPro® technology.

Wi-Fi 6E 802.11ax

WiFi 6E technology has extended to the whole new 6GHz spectrum band, providing more WiFi capability and giving an even better and faster internet traffic. In addition to deliver higher speeds, the WiFi 6E also enhances the lower latency and supports service levels that are equivalent to 5G networks.

EZ Setting

Auto Driver Installer - Optical drive or driver DVD is no longer needed! ASRock motherboard already has its Ethernet driver prepacked in BIOS ROM, once finish installing the operation system, simply follow the instructions and allow ADI to download and install all necessary drivers automatically!
BIOS Flashback - Get the most convenient BIOS flashing with just a simple click. Users can easily achieve the latest BIOS support with a USB and power supply, No CPU, RAM or other components required.
Flexible Integrated IO Shield - Unlike most so called pre-mounted I/O shield that is only decorated with fancy color schemes. We reserve more tolerance space and allow IO shield is adjustable when installing, thus fitting chassis perfectly without any mechanical issue.
