ASRock X870 PRO RS AM5 ATX Motherboard

ASRock X870 PRO RS | AMD AM5 Motherboard with PCIe 5.0 & 2.5GbE

The ASRock X870 PRO RS AMD AM5 Socket Motherboard delivers extreme performance for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors. Built with PCIe 5.0 support, DDR5 memory, and a 14+2+1 power phase design, it offers rock-solid stability for gaming, content creation, and heavy multitasking.

Quick specs

Power delivery engineered for stability

The 14+2+1 phase design with 80A Dr.MOS power stages ensures smooth, efficient delivery to the CPU even under extreme overclocking loads. The Hi-Density Power connectors handle higher currents than standard 8-pin and 24-pin connectors, reducing heat and fire risk. Eight-layer PCB construction improves signal integrity and lowers operating temperatures, which is critical for sustained high performance.

PCIe 5.0 storage and graphics performance

A PCIe 5.0 x16 slot supports the latest GPUs at full 16-lane speed, while the Blazing M.2 socket delivers up to 128 GB/s for next-gen NVMe SSDs. Combined with DDR5 memory support and AMD EXPO/XMP profiles, this motherboard removes bottlenecks for gaming, video editing, and large file transfers.

Advanced cooling and toolless M.2 installation

Large aluminum heatsinks on both the chipset and M.2 drives keep high-speed components cool under load. The toolless M.2 heatsink design lets you install SSDs without screws, and the anti-drop mechanism prevents losing hardware inside your case. Bottom-mounted M.2 heatsinks also use the PCB for passive cooling, ensuring consistent thermal performance.

Connectivity and audio for creators and gamers

Dual USB4 Type-C ports provide 40 Gb/s data transfer and 8K display output. A 2.5GbE LAN port with Dragon software prioritises gaming or streaming traffic, while Nahimic Audio delivers immersive 7.1 surround sound with voice stabilisation and noise cancellation. Front-panel USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C adds 20 Gb/s for quick peripheral connections.
