Introduction

SUPPORTS INTEL XEON PROCESSOR & ECC MEMORY
The W480 Creator motherboard can fully support Intel XEON processors and also ECC memory modules that delivers server-grade performance and rock-solid durability for high-end computing.

ECC MEMORY SUPPORT
ECC (Error-correcting code) is a method of detecting and correcting single-bit memory errors. It's mission-critical to minimize errors in data especially for the server business and data centers. This motherboard is capable of supporting DDR4 ECC un-buffered memory modules that delivers server-grade performance and rock-solid durability for high-end computing systems, such as scientific or financial computers.

SUPPORTS NVIDIA® QUADRO® PROFESSIONAL GRAPHICS
The W480 Creator fully support NVIDIA® QUADRO® Professional Graphics cards which are designed specifically for artists, designers, providing true firepower for any kind of graphical creation.

THUNDERBOLTT 3 TECHNOLOGY
The highly desirable reversible Thunderbolt 3 Type-C interface delivers breathtaking 40 Gb/s data transfer speeds and also supports USB PD charging up to 9V@3A (27W).

Built with primo components and out edge technology, ASRock Creator series makes content creation easy and pleasure.

XXL ALUMINUM ALLOY HEATSINK & HEATPIPE DESIGN
Extra-large aluminum alloy heatsink along with heatpipe that effectively take away heat from the MOSFET, so that your whale system may perfarm mare stable.
