ASROCK B850 Steel Legend WiFi

ASROCK B850 Steel Legend WiFi
The ASROCK B850 Steel Legend WiFi is an ATX motherboard with an AMD B850 chipset, designed for AMD Ryzen™ 9000, 8000 and 7000 Series processors with an AM5 socket. It offers a 14+2+1 phase power design with Dr. MOS technology, support for DDR5 memory up to 8000+ MHz (OC), and a PCIe 5.0 interface for graphics cards and storage. It also includes Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Realtek 2.5G LAN, and a Realtek ALC4082 audio chip with Nahimic Audio, which ensures detailed and clear sound. The Lite Release feature makes handling graphics cards easier, while the Toolless M.2 Heatsink enables tool-free SSD installation. BIOS Flashback provides quick BIOS updates even without a processor or RAM, and the Auto Driver Installer automatically installs the necessary drivers on first boot. Nahimic Audio takes care of high-quality sound with noise cancellation and spatial effects. The board is complemented by POLYCHROME RGB backlighting with SignalRGB synchronisation, which allows for individual customisation of the system's appearance.

Stable power and long lifespan
The power system consists of a 14+2+1 Power Phase Design with Dr. MOS components, complemented by premium 20K Black capacitors with a 1000µF capacity. These elements provide stable voltage, lower temperatures, and an extended lifespan of up to 20000 hours. The board is designed with an 8-layer PCB, which improves signal transfer, power efficiency, and stability during overclocking. With support for DDR5 memory with XMP and EXPO profiles, it's easy to unlock their full potential without complex tuning.
Effective cooling and modern connectivity
The board uses robust aluminium heatsinks, an XXL M.2 Heatsink, and a bottom M.2 passive cooler to effectively dissipate heat and maintain optimal performance. It also features a Blazing M.2 slot with a PCIe 5.0 interface and transfer speeds of up to 128Gb/s. Network stability is ensured by Realtek 2.5G LAN. Wi-Fi 7 delivers higher throughput and lower latency for smooth gaming, streaming, and data transfers. A USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port with a transfer speed of up to 20Gb/s is also available.
