DDR5 EXPO & XMP Support
All X670E motherboards are made with high-quality 8-layer low-loss materials, allowing users to enjoy enhanced DDR5 memory overclocking performance up to 6600MHz and beyond by enabling pre-tested profiles. Ensure that the memory modules are capable of AMD EXPO/ Intel XMP and overclocking can become affordable, satisfying, and easy.
Blazing OC Tuner
The Blazing OC tuner allows the AM5 CPU to switch between OC mode and PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) mode when the CPU current reaches the limit. Anything above the current limit will trigger manual OC mode; if it is below the current limit, then Precision Boost Overdrive mode will be activated. The idea is to combine all-core overclocking and single-core automatic boosting to achieve the best possible performance for your CPU. There is no need to enter the BIOS for the setup; you can modify all settings in real-time under the operating system.
AMD PBO Technology
PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) is an automatic performance maximization technology that can enhance your computer's performance by increasing clock speeds based on the conditions inside your computer. AMD processors are equipped with intelligent thermal sensors designed to analyze the conditions inside your computer and make the "go faster" decision as often as possible. Ensure that the system's cooling is adequate before enabling PBO.
PCIe Gen5 Blazing M.2
The Blazing M.2 hosts the latest PCI Express 5.0 standard for double the bandwidth compared to the previous generation, with an astonishing transfer speed of 128GB/s, it is ready to unleash the full potential of future ultra-fast SSDs.
M.2 Heatsink
The very large M.2 heatsink made of aluminum alloy effectively improves heat dissipation to keep high-speed M.2 SSDs as cool as possible, being able to offer better stability while maintaining top performance.
ASRock Graphics Card Holder
Place your heavy graphics card on the stand. Connect it to your motherboard and chassis with screws. Slide flexibly up and down to perfectly adjust the height required to position your graphics card in place.
Polychrome RGB
Apart from the built-in RGB lighting, it also features integrated RGB headers and an addressable RGB header that allow the motherboard to connect with compatible LED devices, such as strips, CPU fans, coolers, chassis, and so on. Users can also synchronize the RGB LED devices to the certified Polychrome RGB Sync accessories to create their own unique lighting effects.
Dragon 2.5 Gb/s LAN
The intelligent 2.5Gb/s LAN platform is designed for maximum networking performance for the demanding requirements of home networking, content creators, online gamers, and high-quality streaming media. Enhancing networking performance up to 2.5 times the bandwidth compared to standard Gigabit Ethernet, you will enjoy the fastest and uncompromised connectivity experience for gaming, file transfers, and backups.
Wi-Fi 6E 802.11ax
WiFi 6E technology has expanded into the entire new 6GHz spectrum band, providing more WiFi capabilities and delivering even better and faster internet traffic. In addition to providing higher speeds, WiFi 6E also enhances lower latency and supports service levels equivalent to 5G networks.

Guys, whoever wants to build a PC with Ryzen 9 and not worry, go for it blindly. Amazing motherboard. It also has a graphics card support bracket, but at the back, WiFi antenna, etc, etc, etc..... it's very beautiful, with a nice BIOS and overall good temperatures. You can set the LEDs to any color you want through software.
The ports are also plenty.
One issue was that it required a BIOS update to read the RAM (Gskill).
Excellent motherboard even though its price has increased a lot lately, it doesn't hold back anything, it works with 6-8-12 cores and 16 cores of the new generation AM5. Tested in crazy overclocking at 5.88MHz from a 4.7MHz base clock with a 7900X processor. It supports high-frequency memory above 14000MHz. Temperatures can reach up to 98 degrees Celsius, but due to overclocking at 6.0MHz, it supports over 20TB decoding in the BIOS for high-end graphics cards with PCI-E 5.0. Most people use liquid cooling in their new systems, but I have dual coolers with dual fans and it works perfectly. As soon as Windows starts and I open the motherboard program to check temperatures, the processor is at 28 degrees Celsius and the motherboard at 30 degrees Celsius. In games, where I play online for hours, for example, the motherboard reaches temperatures of 38-44 degrees Celsius and the processor ranges from 32-60 degrees Celsius. With the overclocking I have done, the temperatures have changed. The motherboard reaches around 48 degrees Celsius during gameplay, and the processor reaches a maximum of 76 degrees Celsius. You can adjust temperatures with low voltage in many components and achieve crazy overclocking in memory, processors, NVMe drives, and graphics cards. The motherboard offers many options through the BIOS, and before trying anything, watch a video on YouTube about ASRock motherboards for AM5 generation. The BIOS is the same in all of them, with the same parameters, only the internal color and background change. Tips: if someone really wants to test a heavy game around 170GB, you can download Forza Horizon 5 from somewhere. It's a heavy game with high requirements from all aspects. There you can see how long it takes to load and how it performs. Alternatively, you can try Doom 3 or the latest Halo.
Very good and beautiful, it didn't give me any trouble and everything was compatible. The bios needs work but it's still early, they will make it better. Very good for CPU overclocking.
Now, the money is a big issue, it's not worth that much in any case. I would say its value is around 250-270.
Also, those who go for AM5 motherboards should know that boot times have increased by at least 3 times due to the bios.
