ASRock Intel X299 Motherboard, Steel Legend Legend ATX

The ASRock X299 Steel Legend is a high-performance ATX motherboard designed for Intel's 7th generation Core X-series processors, which use the LGA2066 socket. It is built around the Intel X299 chipset, offering robust support for high-end computing and gaming setups. The motherboard features an XXL aluminum alloy heatsink and heatpipe design, which helps in efficiently dissipating heat from critical components such as the VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) and PCIe slots. This ensures stable performance even under heavy workloads or during extended gaming sessions.

The motherboard supports up to 8 DIMM slots for DDR4 memory, allowing for large amounts of system memory. It is compatible with high-speed memory modules, with support for frequencies up to 4200 MHz (overclocked), making it ideal for users looking to push their system's performance to the limit. The 11-phase digital power supply design ensures stable and efficient power delivery to the CPU, which is crucial for maintaining performance and longevity.

The X299 Steel Legend offers multiple PCIe slots for expansion, with four PCIe 3.0 x16 slots. Depending on the number of lanes provided by the CPU (48, 44, or 28 lanes), the configuration of these slots can vary. This flexibility allows users to install multiple high-end graphics cards or other expansion cards as needed. The motherboard also includes a PCIe x1 slot for additional peripherals.

For storage, the motherboard provides eight SATA3 ports and two M.2 slots that support PCIe Gen3 x4 and SATA3 interfaces. This allows for fast data transfer speeds and the ability to install multiple NVMe SSDs or traditional hard drives.

The motherboard includes a range of USB ports, including USB 2.0, USB 3.1 Gen1, USB 3.1 Gen2, and a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port with a data transfer speed of up to 20 Gb/s. These ports provide ample connectivity options for peripherals and external storage devices.

Audio capabilities are enhanced with a 7.1-channel ALC1220 codec and Purity Sound 4 technology, delivering high-quality sound output through five front panel jacks. The motherboard also supports 3-way CrossFire for multi-GPU configurations, making it suitable for users who want to maximize their graphics performance.

The Polychrome SYNC LED feature allows users to synchronize RGB lighting across compatible components, adding a personalized touch to their build.
