ASRock B450M Pro4-F, AMD B450 mainboard - Socket AM4 [90-MXBAB0-A0UAYZ]

B450 motherboards support all the features of the second generation Ryzen processors, such as the new XFR2 overclocking feature. In addition, the mainboards support up to 64 GB of RAM with a guaranteed clock rate of 2,933 megahertz. With overclocking, significantly higher clock rates are possible, depending on the mainboard, and the B450 chipset also enables the processor to be overclocked.

The features of the ASRock B450M Pro4-F at a glance:
- 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16) for high-end graphics cards
- 1x USB 3.0 Type C / 6x USB 3.0 / 6x USB 2.0
- 1x M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4) + 1x M.2 (SATA) / 4x SATA 6G
- DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz using OC
- Three RGB headers (2x 4-pin, 1x 3-pin)
- Ready for AMD Ryzen 3000 processors

The features of the ASRock B450M Pro4-F in detail:
The ASRock B450M Pro4-F Micro-ATX motherboard has a PCI-Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection for graphics cards and a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot with four lanes. The mainboard has a PCIe x1 slot for additional expansion cards. The four RAM banks support up to 64 GB DDR4 main memory with a clock rate of up to 3,200 megahertz.

An M.2 slot with PCIe 3.0 x4 and another with SATA connection are provided by the AM4 mainboard. M.2 SSDs with the advanced NVM Express protocol (NVMe) and a connection via four PCI Express 3.0 lanes are up to eight times as fast as SATA 6G hard drives and support data transfer rates of up to 32 Gbit / s.

The ASRock B450M Pro4-F provides a USB 3.0 connection with a Type-C socket as well as four USB 3.0 Type A ports and two USB 2.0 ports on the I / O panel. The USB Type-C port can be plugged in on both sides and is particularly thin. USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port and USB ports with this standard usually support the fast charging function of smartphones and tablets. For CPUs with integrated graphics, such as AMD's Raven Ridge APUs, an HDMI, a D-Sub and a DVI-D slot are available.
