Description

This motherboard is compatible with both AMD FM2 and FM2+ APUs. ASRock is determined to use high quality materials to build the best motherboards, that’s why all the capacitors on this motherboard are built with 100% solid capacitors. These solid capacitors bring long lasting durability and ultra stable performance. Graphics, graphics and even more graphics! You’ve demanded for more eye candy, so this motherboard supports Triple Monitor. You may choose up to three display interfaces from the rear i/o to connect monitors and use them simultaneously without installing another graphics card.
