Question 1

Is there enough room on the mobo for an Corsair H60 cooler to attach? Those blocks on the side look a bit too large, but I'm not sure from the pictures.

Accepted Answer

I've fit a Lepa Aquaxhanger 120 and a a Corsair h90 on it, so it should be fine.

Question 2

Will this fit a Hyper 212 Plus aftermarket CPU cooler?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but I've found that many aftermarket coolers block one if not both of the memory slots.

Question 3

Has anyone found USB 3.0 drivers for this board?  I cant find them, even on the ASRock website.

Accepted Answer

USB 3.0 drivers work perfectly for Windows 10. They definitely are in the Asrock website. Install all the drivers you can see there, not the utilities.

Question 4

What version of HDMI is on board? and will it support 3084x2160 @60Hz

Accepted Answer

Nothing junk about this board imo.  No crashes at all in my experience.

I am using BIOS v1.8 and latest Windows 10 build - I was the first person to review this board and it is still running strong.  Photoshop and Lightroom and Davinci Resolve all run perfectly and I just stress tested the board using the intel 64 bit CPU diagnostics tool.  Rock solid under 100% load.

Question 5

Will this motherboard fit the Arctic Freezer i32 CPU cooler?  Looks like it might hang off the edge?

I'm concerned about the clearance with RAM stick and with the WiFi half-card.
I want the i7-7700, and 32GB RAM, so I think I need the cooler, and obviously need both RAM slots.
I also need a Display Port connection to use my old 27" iMac as a monitor (all this led me to this mobo).
Might have to spend more for liquid cooled if the i32 won't fit...

Accepted Answer

Sadly, the i32 is a bit too large to fit this mobo.

Question 6

Compatible with DDR4?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is ddr4 compatible.
