Massive, charcoal black motherboard for gaming and work systems based on AMD Ryzen 7000 processors from the Raphael family (Zen 4 architecture). It is based on the top-level system logic X670E, which AMD released to the market in 2022. A key feature of the device is the use of dedicated USB Lightning ports with parallel input controllers. With their help, the manufacturer was able to minimize the delay when transmitting commands from the keyboard and mouse.

A useful joke for online shooters and esports disciplines that require lightning fast reactions. The model belongs to the upper price segment and is designed for gamers and specialized professionals who plan to assemble a productive PC with nextgen components. The main board is a 17-phase high-level power subsystem with heat-resistant Japanese capacitors, additional cooling for the VRM zone and support for proprietary Smart Power Stage technology.

With it, the ASRock X670E PG Lightning board is 100% ready for the challenges of the damn powerful and pretty hot Ryzen 7-level chips, DDR5 memory and GeForce RTX 4080-level graphics card. The board layout traditionally includes 4 DIMM slots for installing DDR5 RAM with maximum frequency 6600 MHz. Interestingly, the RAM simultaneously supports both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO RAM overclocking technologies.

To connect M.2 drives, there are four ports of different classes (Blazing, Ultra and Hyper), as well as four SATA3 connectors for connecting classic HDDs and SSDs. The RAM slots were equipped with digital protection when removed, and the M.2 ports were ennobled with heatsinks to cool overheated memory controllers. The Dragon RTL8125BG profile LAN controller with a bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps is responsible for processing network traffic.
