ASRock Phantom Gaming Z790 Nova WiFi Motherboard With Six M2 Slots Launched - Explained All Details

This motherboard is engineered with a 20+1+1 phase power design featuring 90A smart power stages, high-quality black capacitors rated for 20,000 hours of mean time between failures (MTBF), and a robust voltage regulator module (VRM) configured with an eight-layer printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a 2oz copper layer for improved electrical conductivity and heat management. The VRM&thermal solution comprises dual extra-large heatsinks linked by a heat pipe, with one of the heatsinks integrating a fan for active cooling. The ASRock Phantom Gaming Z790 Nova WiFi motherboard is designed as an ATX form factor platform, incorporating the Intel Z790 chipset with support for the LGA 1700 socket, compatible with Intel&12th to 14th generation processors. Focusing on the motherboard&storage capabilities, it integrates six M.2 slots designed for NVMe drives, accommodating 2260 and 2280 form factors. The primary M.2 slot offers PCIe 5.0 interface with maximum bandwidths up to 128 Gb/s, while the second slot provides PCIe 4.0 connectivity with up to 64 Gb/s bandwidth, directly routed through the CPU lanes. An additional three M.2 slots are available through the chipset&PCIe lanes, with one supporting both SATA III and PCIe 4.0 modes. The inclusion of four SATA III ports complements the NVMe slots, with all interfaces supporting various RAID configurations for enhanced storage flexibility. Notably, the activation of the M.2_1 slot adjusts the PCIe1 slot to operate at x8 mode. For...
