AMD AM3 + platform with USB 3.1 Type C and M.2 PCIe SSDs

Up to 64 GB of DDR3 RAM refer to the four RAM banks, where appropriate memory can run at a maximum of 2,400 overclocked megahertz. A little highlight on ASRock 970A-G / 3.1 is also that there are on the I / O shield on the back of the motherboard two brand new USB 3.1 ports with Type A and Type-C connector, provided by the ASMedia ASM1143 additional chip. The new USB Type-C port is particularly thin and can finally be connected at both ends. USB 3.1 is commonly associated with the maximum attainable speed of 10 Gbit / s per port twice as fast as USB 3.0.

Media such as SSDs and hard drives manages the board has six SATA 6G ports (incl. RAID support) and a horizontal M.2 slot, which is connected with a maximum of four PCI-Express 2.0 lanes and thus extremely high speeds can reach up to 20 Gbit / s. It can be used from 30 to 110 mm length M.2 SSDs. The M.2 port shares its data lines with the PCIe x4 slot, so that only one can be used which respectively. In addition, this motherboard supports thanks to 8 + 2-phase power supply, the AMD FX processor 9000 series with its TDP of 220 watts.

The remaining connection repertoire includes at the back of the board itself including two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports, five 3.5 mm audio ports and one optical S / PDIF output for 7.1 sound one Gigabit LAN.
