Installation
Installation was breeze, we used a Thermaltake ToughLiquid Ultra 360 AIO cooler which we mounted with ease. There’s plenty of room around the LGA 1700 socket after the AIO installation.
All the pin headers for the cooling fans, pump and ARGB were located nearby which is great and makes it much easier for cable management.
BIOS
The first page you’ll see as soon as you enter the BIOS is the “Easy Mode”. Here you can monitor all the system status on this page. In “Advanced Mode”, you’ll be able to see all the other options available for tweaking your processor, memory and more. Voltages for memory and processor can also be adjusted here.
Other options in the advanced tab allows users to configure settings for the chipset, storage and NVMe, LEDs, as well as onboard devices such as LAN, audio, and Bluetooth.
For overclockers, the BIOS allows CPU and memory overclocking, and you can also set the CPU frequency and voltages too.
Since our DDR5 ram is XMP 3.0 ready, we selected Profile 1 and ran the memory at DDR5-7200 speeds. All other BIOS settings were left on AUTO/Default.
For memory compatibility and QVL (qualified vendors list), I recommend you check ASRock’s QVL page here.
