amazon Asrock X570 Steel Legend reviews

AMD has officially launched the Ryzen 3000 series and motherboards using its new X570 chipset. In particular, the Ryzen 3000 Series still uses the mainstream socket like the 1000 Series/2000 Series is AM4, but is based on the latest Zen 2 architecture.

As a result, the Ryzen 3000 series processors can achieve up to a 15% increase in IPC (Instruction Per Clock IPC), which is achieved through improved Execution Pipelines and optimized cache for instructions. Along with that are the motherboards using the latest AMD X570 chipset, which integrates the world’s first PCI Express 4.0 data transmission technology.

The addition of PCIEx 4.0 doubles the bandwidth for signal transmission compared to the previous generation, the maximum speed can be up to 64GBps. Steel Legend is the latest motherboard series from ASRock that was officially introduced on January 25, 2019.

A special feature of the Steel Legend series is that it was first launched on the AMD platform with the use of the B450 chipset, the first products are B450M Steel Legend and B450 Steel Legend (mATX and ATX versions). Accordingly, the reason for this is that the ASRock team has recognized the potential market from AMD products, and the previous series of motherboards based on this platform has sold very well in the Japanese and Korean markets.

The design philosophy of this Steel Legend series is highlighted by three basic things as follows: * Durability: ASRock has used components of a quality that is superior to motherboards from leading manufacturers. Other paintings in the same price range.

For example, using a PCB design with 2 copper layers, doubles the size of the PCB compared to conventional products, providing more specific performance. What is most noticeable in mid-range products with better VRM circuit design, XXL-sized metal heatsink for better heat dissipation, using Choke Premium 60A and long-life Black Cap 12K capacitors. * Performance on price: This is a key concept on ASRock’s motherboard line and so the Steel Legend series is no exception.

It offers better specs but is more affordable than the competition. As a practical example, Steel Legend offers 3 RGB headers including Addressable RGB, a rarity in its product segment. * Aesthetic: Steel Legend in addition to military-style design, also brings a very cold “steel” substance, showing the image as tough as steel and bringing the highest strength. Today’s version of Steel Legend we see uses the X570 chipset and has valuable improvements to be used with the best Ryzen 3000 Series processors.

X570 Steel Legend

The box is still bold steel that ASRock introduced in previous products. In general, as a mid-range product, the design for the box and the design quality of the box is also quite average. Proceed to unpack the box to peel off the main character, the board is sturdy, the design is in harmony with the heatsink blocks and the prominent camouflage pattern.

The board design is identical in style across both Intel and AMD. Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend Large aluminum alloy heatsink for VRM and PCH – XXL Aluminum Alloy, effectively removing heat from mosfets and chipsets so that the whole system can operate more stably for a long time when operating maximum strength.

A special feature here is that the heatsink for PCH and M.2 are fixed together through 3 screws, with serrated lines on the top to help optimize airflow and better heat dissipation. This heatsink cluster is also equipped with a thermal pad for both the chipset and this M.2 slot.

Before using the product, users should remove the screws to peel off the plastic cover inside.

The product’s RGB LED is also equipped with two components, including I/O Shield and PCH with the words Steel Legend prominently in operation. Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend Below the Heatsink PCH/M.2, ASRock also equips a cooling fan for the X570 chipset.

The product’s RGB LED is also equipped with two components, including I/O Shield and PCH with the words Steel Legend prominently in operation. Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend X570 Steel Legend is also equipped by ASRock with the PCIe SteelSlot feature, which is armored to further strengthen the first PCIE 4.0 x16 slot.

The board supports 2 PCIEx 4.0 x16 slots and 3 PCIEx 4.0 x1 slots, with the bandwidth specified from ASRock as follows: Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend Support for storage bandwidth on X570 Steel Legend, ASRock provides two Hyper ports M.2, which means the Mainboard can plug in the latest popular-format SSDs M.2 2280 and 22110 SSDs according to the PCIEx4 Gen 4 standard for data transfer speeds of up to 64Gb/s. In addition, it also supports M.2 SATA 3 6Gb/s modules.

There are 8 horizontal SATA 3 ports for easier wiring. Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend The VRM circuit is well designed to be able to run the Ryzen 3000 Series processors well when equipped with an 8+4 pin EPS power supply. 12V with 8+2 phase design in which ASRock uses Premium Choke with saturation current up to 60A, 3 times higher than conventional choke.

Going into more detail, ASRock has used Digital PWM controller ISL69147, according to the specification ISL69147 is a multi-phase digital PWM controller, with the number of supply phases (X + Y = 7) compliant with the specifications. AMD SVI2 specs. When the ISL69147 is configured to use the SVI2 interface, Rail 1 can support up to six phases and Rail 2 must be assigned a phase.

Used now, ASRock uses 4 phases for vCore CPU with Dr.Mos 8xSiC632A and 2 phases for SoC with 2xSiC632A, but the CPU vCore part is in the form of a doubler, bringing the total capacity for VRM to 600A vCore and 100A SOC to increase the load circuit in the best way.

This explains the appearance of 4 phase channel control chips on the back of the PCB. Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend Despite being a mid-range product, the X570 Steel Legend also uses Nichicon 12K Platinum capacitors for the entire area on the Main.

With two different types of capacitors at capacity levels of 820uF and 100uF, the Mainboard helps the motherboard to operate stably and continuously compared to products using 5k and 10K capacitors. The main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend X570 Steel Legend of course supports the dual channel with up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC and non-ECC RAM support, the clock also supports very high up to DDR4 4666+(OC). These slots are 15μ gold-plated ASRock against interference and oxidation. Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend uses Intel I211AT LAN to increase transmission bandwidth, making the online game experience or network data smoother. The sound area is equipped with 5 high-end Nichicon condensers, providing warm, natural sound with a clearer tone.

Noise filtering circuitry is also equipped to separate analog/digital signals to reduce interference from many sides. The audio driver chip still uses ALC1220 11oDB SNR with Differential Amplifier. Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend Further improvement is ASRock generously equipped with 3 additional RGB headers, among which support RGB Digital LED. This LED generation ASRock has also improved quite well, especially can be synced with other RGB devices such as the heatsink, RAM, SSD, Case… . To control and synchronize LED devices, users can download the latest Polychrome RGB software on the homepage. Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend Part I/O Panel with Steel Legend style I/O shield, connectivity ports include – 2 x Antenna Ports (on I/O Panel Shield) – 1 x PS/2 Mouse/ Keyboard Port – 1 x HDMI Port – 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 – 1 x Optical SPDIF Out Port – 1 x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A Port (10 Gb/s) (Supports ESD Protection) – 1 x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C Port (10 Gb/s) (Supports ESD Protection) – 6 x USB 3.2 Gen1 Ports (Supports ESD Protection)* – 1 x RJ-45 LAN Port with LED (ACT/LINK LED and SPEED LED) – HD Audio Jacks: Rear Speaker / Central / Bass / Line in / Front Speaker / Microphone (Gold Audio Jacks) Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend Basic product accessories: User manual, driver installation disc, 04 SATA cables, 03 M.2 screws and 02 screws for M.2 Main ASROCK X570 Steel Legend Summary: Steel Legend carries the steel of ASRock, targeting users in the mid-range segment. The product’s VRM circuit has a decent design, enough to run CPUs around 3800X stably. Although it lacks some features such as Debug Code, and Power / Reset button … but what the product shows is enough for users to wonder about another X50 motherboard on the market.
