The ASRock X48 motherboard has officially arrived
A repository of standard construction and extra features next to the intelligent top tile set.
X48TurboTwins-WiFi is typically the card where knowledge of the chipset is paramount, we don’t have to be afraid that a horde of included accessories or just an army of doubled, tripled controllers will totally twist our heads. What’s more, we can’t even see spectacular heat tube chipset cooling, TurboTwins customers should be content with simple aluminum fins. The color scheme of the printed circuit board is clearly designed according to the ASRock tradition, and the 24-pin power connector, as usual, can be welcomed at the top of the page.
