USB3.0, the world's best-known computer peripheral
interface once again receives a major revamp to stay
current with today’s most demands for connectivity
bandwidth. Delivering data transfer rates up to ten times
faster than USB 2.0 with the optimized power efficiency,
USB 3.0 promises a major leap forward in transfer
speeds and capability.
The above rear I/O layout is just an example and it may be different from the actual layout.
SATA3, the world’s fastest interface, enables to maximum your hard disk drive performance. With the new SATA Revision 3.0 technology, ASRock ensures you the incredible data transfer rate up to 6Gb/s speed over SATA2.
eSATA3, the much-anticipated interface, can not only provide the faster transfer speed up to 6 Gb/s but also the hassle-free computing environment.
ASRock True 333 series motherboards
can run the PCI-E for VGA card, SATA3
and USB 3.0 at full speed together at the
same time. However, other 333 series
motherboards can only run one of them
at full speed at one time.

ErP/EuP Ready Motherboard ErP/EuP Ready Power Supply ErP/EuP System
What is ErP/EuP?
ErP/EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by European Union to define the power consumption for
the completed system. With the great quantity and the popularly using of the electrical products nowadays and the continuously
increasing of the electrical products categories in the following 20 to 30 years, European Union decided to establish an effective
strategy to solve the energy consumption problem. That is, according to ErP/EuP, the total AC power of the completed system
shall be under 1.00W in off mode condition.

This unique function allows you to easily select the suitable BIOS version instead of browsing through all data.
