ASRock H370M-ITX / AC, Intel H370 Motherboard - Socket 1151 [90-MXB6R0-A0UAYZ]

 The new features compared to the direct predecessor include, for example, the native support of up to four USB 3.1 and 3.0 ports for the first time, so that no additional chips need to be used. In addition, Intel Optane, SATA RAID (0, 1, 5, 10) and up to two of the extremely fast PCIe M.2 SSDs are supported.

The features of the ASRock H370M-ITX / AC at a glance:
1 × PCIe (3.0) x16 (x16) / 4 × USB 3.1 Type A
Total 4 × USB 3.0 and 5 × USB 2.0 (internal & external)
1 × M.2 (PCIe 3.0 × 4) / 6 × SATA 6G
Supports max. 32 GB DDR4 RAM up to 2.666 MHz
Fast AC-WLAN module incl. Antennas
The ASRock H370M-ITX / AC in detail
The ASRock H370M-ITX / AC Mini-ITX motherboard for Intel Core 8000 Series processors has one PCIe x16 slot connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes, while the other is connected to four data lines ,

Up to 32 GB of RAM can be run in the two DIMM slots for DDR4 RAM in fast dual-channel mode. RAM modules up to a 6666 MHz memory clock are supported by the Coffee Lake CPUs. Furthermore, the motherboard offers an M.2 slot, which is connected to the chipset via four PCIe 3.0 lanes and supports extremely fast NVMe SSDs. The NVMe protocol allows a data transfer rate of almost 4 GB / s. This makes M.2 PCIe SSDs up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs! Six SATA 6G ports also allow you to connect to conventional drives such as SSDs, HDDs and optical drives.

The ASRock H370M-ITX / AC has four USB 3.1 Type A ports on the I / O panel. USB 3.1 ports are twice as fast as conventional USB 3.0 ports with maximum speeds of 10 Gbps! Two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports allow you to connect additional peripherals. Two LAN jacks and audio outputs for the Realtek ALC892 audio codec are also located on the I / O panel. The external connection repertoire is rounded off by a DisplayPort and two HDMI connections for image reproduction via the integrated graphics unit of the processor.

Internally, the motherboard comes with a USB 3.0 header and a USB 2.0 header and a TPM header. In addition to a 4-pin header for CPU cooler, the board provides a 4-pin header for case fans. The special features of the ASRock H370M-ITX / AC include the fast AC-WLAN module with the two associated antennas as well as the high-quality and reliable power supply for the CPU and the sound chip.
