ASRock X470 Master SLI
 | Outdated Product £151.74 High performance 2018 top motherboard for AMD AM4 platform. Supports any AMD Ryzen 3/5/7 1st and 2nd generation processors, Radeon Vega integrated graphics APUs, and low-cost Athlon 200GE CPUs. Positioned as a product for creating top gaming systems, including those equipped with ultra-fast multiGPU configurations AMD CrossFireX and Nvidia SLI. With support for overclocking features and an advanced 12-phase CPU power subsystem, the ASRock X470 Master SLI motherboard may be of interest to low-cost-conscious enthusiasts and simple overclockers who want to operate key components of their PC in a moderate overclocking mode for a long time (with a reasonable increase in supply voltage). Supports up to 64 GB of high-performance DDR4 RAM (4x16 GB), which creates a convenient reserve for expanding...this subsystem in the future. To create a high-speed data storage subsystem, it is equipped with two M.2 ports, one of which has a special cooling radiator. The board received 16 different USB connectors, including 2xUSB 3.1 Gen2 (1xType-C). |

Maximum performance for every dollar spent
The X470 Master SLI model from ASRock is part of the Extreme gaming line and is designed for overclocking within reasonable limits (for the unreasonable, there is the Taichi line). The board is based on the latest X470 chipset, works with the latest generation Ryzen processors, has a set of all the necessary slots and boasts a 12-phase processor power subsystem.
Real game board
The functional set of X470 Master SLI includes 4 slots for DDR4, 2 M.2 slots for installing high-speed SSD NVMe drives, as well as USB 3.1 gen2 and USB-C, which are still far from mass distribution in inexpensive motherboards. Plus, the brainchild of ASRock boasts an M.2 cooler, a pair of reinforced PCI-E 16x slots for connecting two video cards and RGB lighting using ASRock's proprietary Polychrome technology. In general, the equipment is very decent.
Moderate overclocking potential
At the same time, it is important to understand that although there will be overclocking, as is often the case with ASRock, surprises await the user. Despite the fact that the board has a 12-phase power supply in the passport, the ISL95712 control chip works according to the 4 + 3 scheme. Because of this, powerful eight-core Ryzen processors behave unstable at above-average overclocking levels. Also, overclocking memory with XMP profiles works rather strangely. To top it off, the board does not have the most convenient BIOS by the standards of 2019, which in no way simplifies the overclocking process.
