Question 1

Sorry for noob question but is this wifi?

Accepted Answer

This motherboard does not come wifi enabled. However, a pcie x4 or x1 wifi adapter can be used to add that functionality, assuming you would be using the pcie x16 for a graphics card.

Question 2

Will this board support 9th gen processors out of the box?

Accepted Answer

Supports 9th and 8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (Socket 1151).  You can see more details on the ASRock support page.  Just make sure that you update all the motherboard drivers.  That part took me a bit to figure out.  Got rock solid performance after that.

Question 4

Does this board have an RGB header?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe it does - that header comes with the Extreme model, not the Pro4.

Question 5

Can I use this to run a monitor at 2k?

Accepted Answer

I would think so.  I don't know much about this stuff but I think the board is only getting the video output from your CPU to your monitor.  The Intel 630 video is good for 4K on 2 monitors.......again, I think.

Question 6

How many fan headers does it have?

Accepted Answer

1 CPU header, 3 chassis headers.
Assuming the PICe slots are on the bottom, the CPU header is above the CPU, one chassis header is just below the CPU, and the other two chassis headers are at the very bottom of the board.

Question 7

Where is the wifi port? I know it doesn't have onboard wifi, but I'm looking for the m.2 wifi port and can't find it.

Accepted Answer

If you orient the board so that the I/O shield is on your left, the M.2 WiFi/Bluetooth connector is located between the PCIE2 and PCIE3 slots, and to the left of the round CMOS battery.  In the picture, look in the middle of the light gray area of the board -- the connector is labeled "M2 WIFI."

Question 8

I if use a M.2 PCIe Gen3. X4, NVMe 1.3 (Samsung 970 Evo) in either M.2 slot does it restrict the associated PCIe slot?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

The motherboard manufacturer has not disclosed any shared bandwidth restrictions on the PCIe slots when the M.2 slots are populated.
