ASROCK B450 Pro4 DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The ASRock B450 Pro4 is a full-size ATX motherboard built on the AMD B450 chipset, designed for AMD AM4 socket processors including Ryzen series (Summit Ridge, Pinnacle Ridge, and Raven Ridge). Measuring 12.0 x 8.8 inches (30.5 x 22.4 cm), it fits standard mid-tower and full-tower cases, making it a versatile foundation for desktop AMD Ryzen builds. Memory support is handled through four DDR4 DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration, accepting up to 64 GB of unbuffered DDR4 RAM. Supported speeds reach DDR4 3200 via overclocking, with native support for 2933, 2667, 2400, and 2133 MHz. ECC memory is supported with Pinnacle Ridge and Summit Ridge CPUs. DIMM slots feature 15-micron gold contacts for reliable long-term connectivity. Storage is a strong point of this board. Six SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors are available — four natively supporting RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10, and two additional connectors powered by the ASMedia ASM1061 controller. Two M.2 sockets round out the storage options: the primary Ultra M.2 slot (M2_1) runs up to PCIe Gen3 x4 at 32 Gb/s for NVMe drives, while the secondary slot (M2_2) supports both SATA3 and PCIe Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s), accommodating form factors from 2230 to 22110. Expansion slots include two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and four PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. With Summit Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge CPUs, the primary x16 slot runs at full x16 bandwidth. AMD Quad CrossFireX multi-GPU configurations are supported. The board's 9-phase digital power design (Digi Power) delivers stable CPU Vcore voltage, while the ASRock Super Alloy build includes a 2oz copper PCB, high-density glass fabric PCB, and premium power choke for enhanced durability. Connectivity on the rear I/O panel includes one USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A port and one USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port (both at 10 Gb/s), four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, and a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN port with Wake- LAN and Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az) support. Three video outputs — D-Sub, HDMI, and DisplayPort 1.2 — enable triple-monitor configurations when using Ryzen APUs with integrated Radeon Vega graphics. HDMI supports up to 4K at 30 Hz; DisplayPort 1.2 supports up to 4K at 60 Hz. Audio is delivered through a Realtek ALC892 codec with 7.1-channel HD audio output and ELNA audio capacitors for reduced noise floor. RGB and addressable LED headers, along with ASRock Polychrome RGB software, allow lighting customization. Full Spike Protection covers all USB, audio, and LAN ports against ESD and power surges.
