alright guys so we just got to asrock and look at all these motherboards I feel like me and the team on motherboard heaven and thanks to our sponsors for making this trip possible thanks to fan fics coolermaster and Corsair but aside from all these epic motherboards we found this guy it's what they're calling the ultra quad and up to card and let me tell you this thing has the potential to be one of the fastest storage devices around so what asrock has done here is pretty straightforward but its design it's purely focused on delivering inside the read and write performance through the PCIe x16 slot the ultra quad has a simple brushed aluminum housing as well as a small fan to draw in cool air and move it across the internal SSDs and then exhausted through the backplate which also includes for activity LEDs for individual drives so taking off the shroud reveals the force loss which have been angled to not only offer space for a longer type and the two drives but also increase air flow for each SSD and now the benefit to this layout is shorter PCB trace length between the slots and the PCIe connector which should result in faster and more consistent speeds and just in case you end up using next-generation and VM e drives which will draw more power than the PCIe can provide as rod also includes a single six pin power connector and while the ultra quad may look like an interesting option for adding extreme storage to any system it doesn't have any onboard rate controllers so its use will be strictly limited to the X 299 and X 399 motherboards but not only that you'll still need a viewer key to use with skylight X systems luckily aim these thread Ripper has a pretty decent free utility for nvme raid so this could be a good option for that you also may have noticed there are a few switches on the card so there's one for the fan power and the other four are actually used to place the card if you want to use multiple of these cards in a single system so basically the DI piece which indicates the card number so if you have two installed the primary one will be switched as the one position while the second in the number two and as rocks included utility allows for further control of these cards so another thing we saw was this little I TX X 299 e AC motherboard now I know it's already been announced at Computex and you actually can buy it right now for about $400 so it's a bit expensive but the extra and II still has the capability to run an 18 course colic X processor without any problems of course you will end up sacrificing on some of the connectivity that the Intel platform typically provides but as Erick has worked really hard to limit the impact of their small motherboard so the memory is used to free up space for two riser cards that add six SATA ports three ultra m dot two slots and two USB 3.1 gen2 connectors and of course there's only a single graphics card slot and the last thing on the agenda is this brand-new micro SD X motherboard which is based off a miniaturized Z 370 chips and design this adds support for higher and coffee-like processors by improving PWM cooling there's also higher speed xpm memory compatibility and as with all STX motherboards this one uses an MX m GPU which will add to the overall cost of this platform but it also ensures the system remains compact and we would expect this to be rolled out into their upcoming desk mini Refresh launching in just a few weeks alright guys so that's it from azrog this ultra quad M de 2 card is super awesome for people who want the best performance with the M de to storage and this thing is pretty compact and what allows you to expand your storage addiction and this is new z3 70s DX motherboards for bear born species brings better performance and yeah really happy to see that improvement so guys thanks so much for watching make sure to subscribe and check out this other relevant CS content we'll see you in next video
