ASRock Z87 OC Formula/ac LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

Based on the new Intel Z87 Chipset, the ASRock’s new OC Formula/AC ATX motherboard supports Intel 4th generation processors in LGA1150 packages -- even the K-series unlocked one. Enjoy the power of the latest Intel processor and chipset technologies with the ASRock’s new OC Formula/AC ATX motherboard.

Chipset is only part of the story. ASRock’s unique OC Formula kit includes Power Kits, Connector Kits and Cooling Kits and the new Monitor Kit for precise power delivery, efficient cooling, better performance and intuitive system monitoring. In addition, a collection of lifestyle-based features called A-Style will be implemented on ASRock’s new OC Formula/AC ATX motherboard as well. These features include Purity Sound, HDMI-In, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Home Cloud and Conformal coating.

The ASRock’s new OC Formula/AC ATX motherboard also supports NickShih's OC Profile, Formula Drive, FAN-Tastic Tuning, Fine-Tuning V-Controller, Interactive UEFI, Timing Configurator, USB Key and Rapid OC, PCIe ON/OFF, V-Probe for intuitive tuning to achieve maximum performance.

The Intel Z87 Chipset supports Intel 4th generation Haswell processors and has many improvements over its predecessor. It offers native support for USB 3.0, SATA 6Gbps and support for Quad-Read speed SPI Devices. The platform would consume lower TDP, Idle and S3 power inside a smaller package (22mm x 23mm FCBGA). Manageability and security is significantly enhanced with next gen Intel vPro and Intel identity-protection technology. Improvements to Intel’s already implemented RST (Rapid Storage Technology and optimization's to the SSD performance have also been carried out.

Waterproof by Conformal Coating

Conductive liquids such as water pretty much destroy all kinds of electronics on contact. That’s why ASRock has implemented a special layer of Conformal Coating on our motherboards, which makes the motherboards invulnerable to conductive liquids, corrosion and dust. Users won’t have to worry about spilling liquid nitrogen, liquid helium or even clam chowder over their motherboards while overclocking.

HDMI-In

Connect your PC and another device to one monitor and toggle between the primary and secondary screen without replugging the connectors every time.

Home Cloud

This motherboard supports remote wake with the onboard Intel LAN, so you can connect with your PC from anywhere in the world. You will be able to power your PC on or off, and monitor and take control of it remotely with another smartphone, tablet or computer.

Wi-Fi 802.11ac

An exclusive 802.11ac Wi-Fi (5G Wi-Fi) module supports up to 867Mbps wireless networks. The ASRock’s new OC Formula/AC ATX motherboard also features Bluetooth v4.0.

Purity Sound

Purity Sound is a combination of several hardware, software audio solutions and technologies that will satisfy even the pickiest audiophiles.

Multiple Filter Cap (MFC)

With the combined power of three kinds of capacitors, MFC allows users to overclock their PC rig to extreme levels without worrying about the hardware components.

Eight-Layer PCB

The eight-layer PCB comes with four sets of 2-ounce copper inner layers, using only carefully selected copper materials for its PCB layers, delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for overclocking.

15µ Gold Finger

Compared to other boards that come with only 3 - 4µ gold, this motherboard provides 15µ gold within the CPU socket, DRAM slots, and PCIE x16 slots, thus delivering three times better performance than usual.
