ASRock X470 Master SLI AM4 ATX AMD motherboard

AM4 socket X470 ATX motherboard

This ASRock board fits AMD processors using the AM4 socket and is built around the X470 chipset in an ATX layout. It provides four DDR4 DIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory up to 64 GB and speeds from 2133 to 3466 MHz. Two M.2 (E) slots are included for wireless modules, while six SATA III ports and multiple USB headers handle storage and front-panel connectivity. Multi-GPU setups are supported through CrossFireX and SLI technologies.

Suited for Ryzen CPU builds needing multi-GPU

Builders planning a Ryzen system that will run two or more graphics cards can use the X470 chipset's CrossFireX and SLI capabilities. The board also supplies 7.1-channel audio, an 8-pin EPS connector, three chassis-fan headers and dual-channel DDR4 up to 3466 MHz. Buyers who need integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth should note the M.2 (E) slots accept only keyed wireless modules. Those requiring more than four memory slots or a smaller form factor will need a different board.

Four DDR4 slots with 64 GB maximum capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the memory subsystem: four unbuffered DDR4 DIMM slots running in dual-channel mode with a 64 GB ceiling and supported speeds of 2133, 2400, 2667, 2933, 3200 and 3466 MHz. If the planned build needs more memory slots, higher capacity or different memory technology, this motherboard will not meet the requirement.
