ASROCK X570M Pro4 DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The ASRock X570M Pro4 is a Micro ATX form-factor motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset and designed for AMD AM4 socket processors, including Ryzen 2000 and 3000 Series CPUs. Its compact 9.6-inch by 9.6-inch footprint makes it well-suited for space-conscious builds that still demand high-end platform features. Memory support spans four DDR4 slots in a dual-channel configuration, accommodating up to 128 GB of DDR4 RAM at speeds up to DDR4 4200+ via overclocking, including ECC unbuffered modules for workstation and data-intensive use cases. The 10-phase power design delivers stable VRM performance for demanding processors. Storage options are a clear strength of this board. Two Hyper M.2 slots — one supporting both PCIe Gen4 x4 and SATA3, the other PCIe Gen4 x4 only — enable high-speed NVMe SSD installations. Complementing these are eight SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support, providing ample flexibility for large storage arrays. Expansion is handled by two PCIe 4.0 x16 slots reinforced with ASRock's Steel Slot design for added structural integrity, one PCIe 4.0 x1 slot, and an M.2 Key E slot for optional Wi-Fi module installation (802.11ac). AMD CrossFireX multi-GPU configurations are supported. Connectivity on the rear I/O includes one HDMI output, one DisplayPort, two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports (one Type-A, one Type-C) delivering up to 10 Gbps, six USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, one PS/2 combo port, and standard HD audio jacks. Two additional USB 3.2 Gen1 headers serve front-panel connections. Wired networking is provided by an Intel I211-AT Gigabit LAN controller (10/100/1000 Mbps). Audio is powered by the Realtek ALC1200 codec delivering 7.1-channel HD output, enhanced by ELNA audio capacitors that reduce leakage current to approximately 3 µA for a noticeably lower noise floor. ASRock Polychrome SYNC RGB headers allow lighting customisation and synchronisation with compatible accessories.
