Feel The Pull of the Tide
The Z790 Riptide is named after a riptide current, representing the nature of the sea calm but with unlimited strength. Built to squeeze the most from the incredible 12th and 13th generation intel processors. With a robust 14+1+1 power phase design, DDR5 memory support, PCIe 5.0 technology, the capability to house a total 5x M.2 storage drives (1x PCIe 5×4, 4x PCIe 4×4), 2.5GbE LAN and USB Type-C technology, the Z790 Riptide is perfect for daily enthusiasts, gamers, creators and those looking to downsize their system without losing out on performance. Do more with ASRock.
14+1+1 Power Phase Design
Featuring sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capabilities and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.
Built to Last
6 Layer PCB
The 6 Layer PCB provides stable signal traces and power shapes delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency, ensures a reliable and long-lasting system while delivering ultimate performance without any compromise.
DDR5 XMP & EXPO Support
Derived from the “built for stable and reliable” design concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. This motherboards is built with low-loss materials, enthusiasts are able to enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance up to 6800MHz and beyond by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are Intel® XMP/AMD EXPO™ capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying and absolutely no sweat at all.
DIY Friendly Design
Due to the unique electrical architecture of DDR5 DIMM, there’s a high risk of damaging the memory module if AC power isn’t disconnected properly during removal or installation. To prevent this, ASRock has implemented a trouble free protection circuit on every DDR5 motherboard, lowers the risk of damaging your memory module.
PCIe 5.0 + Surface-Mount Tech
Compared to conventional DIP style PCIe slot, the SMT type PCIe slot improves signal flow and maximise stability under high speeds, a key breakthrough to fully support the lightning speeds of the latest PCIe 5.0 standard. The latest PCI Express 5.0 is capable of perform up to a breath-taking bandwidth of 128GBps, ready to unleash the full potential of future high end graphic cards.
PCIe Gen5 Blazing M.2
The Blazing M.2 accommodates the latest PCI Express 5.0 standard to perform at twice the bandwidth when compared to previous generation, with a breath-taking 128GB/s transfer speed, it is ready to unleash the full potential of future ultrafast SSDs.
ASRock POLYCHROME RGB
In addition to the built-in RGB illumination, it also features onboard RGB headers and an addressable RGB header that allow motherboard to be connected to compatible LED devices such as strips, CPU fans, coolers, chassis and so on. Users may also synchronise RGB LED devices across the Polychrome RGB Sync-certified accessories to create their own unique lighting effects.
