ASRock Z790 PG SONIC, an officially licensed motherboard featuring SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog. A 16-bit spinning ring emblazons the rear IO cover, while on the rear side you’ll even catch a glimpse of Sonic mid-run. The ASRock motherboard is co-launched to celebrate the release of SEGA’s new Sonic Frontiers game. Designed to bring back epic memories of catching rings in Green Hill Zone, the motherboard echoes Sonic’s lightning speed with its fast blue and silver shards and Sonic silhouette. The "Ring" is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Though of unknown origin, Rings can be found everywhere on earth and other places beyond time and space, as well as motherboards! Besides the motherboard outlook is designed around the Sonic the Hedgehog theme, the ASRock Z790 PG SONIC also features a SONIC-inspired UEFI BIOS interface. On the PCB back side you'll even catch a glimpse of Sonic mid-run. Accommodates the latest PCI Express 5.0 standard to perform twice the bandwidth compared to previous generation, with a breathtaking 128Gb/s transfer speed. Tired of dropping screws or screws missing inside chassis? The enhanced M.2 heatsink with anti-drop screw design makes installation process more easily and eliminates risk of missing screw and could be installed easily. The reinforced DIMM slot is surfaced mounted onto the motherboard to give better physical strength as well as a more stable memory signal, with this superior revolutionary design, it is able to dramatically overclock DRAM module up to insane frequency. Derived from the "built for stable and reliable" designing concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. Z790 PG SONIC is built with 6-Layer PCB, 2OZ copper inner layer design, enthusiasts are able to enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are Intel XMP/AMD EXPO capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying and absolutely no sweat at all.
