ASROCK B365M Pro4 DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASRock B365M Pro4 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel B365 chipset, designed to accommodate Intel 8th and 9th Generation Core processors via an LGA 1151 socket. With a compact footprint of 9.6 x 9.0 inches (24.4 x 22.9 cm), it fits standard Micro ATX cases while delivering a feature set more commonly associated with larger boards. Memory support is handled by four DDR4 DIMM slots operating in dual-channel configuration, accepting DDR4 speeds of 2133, 2400, and 2666 MHz in non-ECC unbuffered modules, with a maximum capacity of 64 GB. The board also accepts ECC UDIMM modules, though these operate in non-ECC mode. Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 2.0 is supported, allowing compatible kits to run at their rated speeds with a BIOS profile selection. Storage options are generous for a board of this class. Two Ultra M.2 sockets (M2_1 and M2_2) each support PCIe Gen3 x4 (up to 32 Gb/s) and M2_2 additionally accommodates SATA3 M.2 devices. Six SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports support RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations via Intel Rapid Storage Technology 17. Note that if M2_2 is populated with a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_0 is disabled. Expansion slots include two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (running at x16 single or x16/x4 dual), one PCIe 3.0 x1 flexible slot, and one M.2 Key E socket for a type 2230 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module (module not included). AMD Quad CrossFireX multi-GPU configurations are supported. The rear I/O panel provides three display outputs — D-Sub, DVI-D, and HDMI 1.4 (up to 4K at 30 Hz) — enabling triple-monitor use with integrated graphics on compatible processors. Connectivity includes one USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C port, four USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and a PS/2 keyboard/mouse combo port. Networking is handled by an Intel I219V Gigabit LAN controller supporting Wake- LAN, Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az, and PXE boot. Audio is delivered through a Realtek ALC892 codec supporting 7.1-channel HD output with content protection, ELNA audio capacitors, and Blu-ray audio support. The BIOS is a 128 Mb AMI UEFI implementation with multilingual GUI, ACPI 6.0 compliance, and SMBIOS 2.7 support. RGB lighting is catered for via two standard 12V RGB LED headers (up to 3A/36W each) and one addressable 5V LED header (up to 3A/15W, max 80 LEDs, WS2812B compatible), managed through ASRock Polychrome SYNC software.
