ASRock B850 Riptide WiFi AM5 ATX Motherboard

The ASRock B850 Riptide WiFi delivers robust performance for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors. Built on the AMD B850 chipset with AM5 socket compatibility, this ATX motherboard features a 14+2+1 phase power design with 80A Dr.MOS for VCore+SOC, ensuring stable power delivery for gaming and professional workloads.

High-Performance Memory and Expansion

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support dual-channel memory configurations up to 8000+ MHz (OC) with a maximum capacity of 256GB. The motherboard includes one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with 15µ gold contacts for enhanced conductivity, plus one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (x4 mode) for additional expansion cards. Both XMP and EXPO memory profiles are supported for optimal overclocking performance.

Advanced Storage Configuration

Storage capabilities include one Blazing M.2 socket supporting PCIe Gen5x4 (128 Gb/s) and three Hyper M.2 sockets supporting PCIe Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s). The toolless multi-layer M.2 heatsink features a quick-release mechanism for effortless SSD installation. Four SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors provide additional storage options, with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support for NVMe devices.

Premium Connectivity Features

Networking includes Killer E3100G 2.5 Gigabit LAN and 802.11be WiFi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4 support. WiFi 7 operates across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequency bands with 160MHz channel bandwidth. The rear I/O panel features two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports (10 Gb/s), five USB 3.2 Type-A ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and one HDMI 2.1 port supporting 4K 120Hz output with HDR and HDCP 2.3. Lightning Gaming Ports reduce jitter and latency for competitive gaming peripherals.

Audio and Cooling Solutions

The Realtek ALC4082 7.1 CH HD audio codec with Nahimic Audio provides high-definition sound with individual PCB layers for left and right channels. Direct Drive Technology on the front headphone port supports headsets up to 600 Ohm. Exclusive 20K capacitors with 1000uF capacitance and 20,000-hour lifespan ensure long-term stability. The motherboard includes two CPU fan connectors, three chassis fan connectors, and one AIO pump fan connector, all with smart fan speed control supporting up to 3A (36W).

Enhanced Installation Features

The Lite Release Design features an enlarged latch for simplified graphics card installation and removal. RGB LED and addressable LED headers support up to 36W (12V) and 15W (5V) LED strips respectively, controlled via ASRock Polychrome SYNC software. The 256Mb AMI UEFI BIOS includes ASRock EZ Mode and Full HD UEFI interface, with BIOS Flashback button enabling firmware updates without CPU installation.
