High Density Glass Fabric PCB
What you’ve never understood about your computer is that it is scared to death
of water, H2O, humidity or whatever you’d like to name it. And even though you
do not see the water, actually there may be lots of excessive moist in the air
killing your motherboard silently and slowly. No, your motherboard doesn’t
melt when in contact with water like the wicked witch of the west, but it dies
of short circuit. Luckily, ASRock has a new High Density Glass Fabric PCB design
that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against
electrical shorts caused by humidity.

Solid Capacitor Design
ASRock applied solid capacitors on this motherboard. With these solid caps, this
motherboard is allowed to perform more stably and ensure longer lifetime.
ELNA Audio Caps
Who says high quality audio is only available on high-end motherboards? ASRock
applied ELNA audio capacitors on mainstream and entry-level motherboards!
Compared with traditional solid caps, the leakage current of ELNA audio caps is
merely 3uA. This is the key to reduce noise level significantly and satisfy even
the pickiest audiophiles.

This ASRock motherboard uses a Realtek gigabit LAN chip to support extremely
fast internet connections.
