FOR PROFESSIONAL USE
Unlike most so called overclocking motherboards that are designed by engineers who don’t have adequate experience in extreme overclocking or have never participated in an OC event, Z590 OC Formula is the only motherboard in the market that are designed by a genuine overclocker, Nick Shih, who is hands down one of the most talented overclockers alive.
HIGHER AND HIGHER SPEED
Using only specially selected performance components, this masterpiece pushes the Z590 platform to its extreme limits. Overclockers who are dead serious about breaking limits should look no further than ASRock Z590 OC Formula.
16 POWER PHASE DESIGN with 90A SPS
SPS (SMART POWER STAGE) is a new power solution with fully optimized integrated MOSFETs with advanced driver IC, current sensors and temperature sensors, which provides current monitoring and more stable current for extreme overclocking!
SMD TYPE DIMM
Compares to conventional DIP style DIMM slot, SMD type DIMM slot can reduce signal loss, improves stability under high frequency and maximize overclocking potential.
12 LAYERS SERVER-GRADE LOW-LOSS PCB
The 12 layers server grade PCB prevents PCB bending and improves signal integrity, giving higher performance as well as system stability, giving a reliable and long-lasting system without any compromise.
OC BUTTON
An array of OC friendly buttons with varies of function to help overclockers achieve the world record!
OLED DISPLAY
An OLED display was added to give a cleaner and informative way to express the status of the motherboard, the content can also be con gured in the BIOS for more user friendly application.
PCB Backdrill
Z590 OC Formula features a unique “PCB Backdrill” craftsmanship by removing the excess stub in multilayered printed wiring boards, this benefits in extreme memory overclocking by allowing signal to flow from layer to another with less signal attenuation and improves impedance matching.
