Z590 PG Velocita is one of the first boards to come through with the new Intel chipset without deploying Thunderbolt 4. ASRock looks to offset this with 10 USB ports, gigabit LAN and 2.5Gbe all on the rear I/O. Additionally, this is the first motherboard in the office to have the Killer AX1675 chipset, which includes Bluetooth 5.2 and that 2.5Gbe we mentioned above, features Killer E3100G with a direct PCIe link to the CPU for lower latency.

ASRock signs a solid Z590 platform with this Z590 PG Velocita. Aiming at the top of the range, its benefits are up to the mark whether we are talking about performance or equipment. Its sleek look is intended primarily for gaming platforms in search of the latest technologies.
We don’t have much to fault this Z590 PG Velocita. Its UEFI BIOS offers an airy and fairly well-organized interface. The OC of our Core i9-10900K did not pose any problem with in the end a nice performance gain. It might be a shame that faster Ethernet isn’t present.

Taipei, Taiwan, March 30, 2021 — The leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, proudly announces the return of its OC Formula motherboard lineup with the overclocker-designed Z590 OC Formula built for Intel’s 11th-generation desktop processors.
For years, ASRock has set the standard for overclocking with its previous OC Formula motherboards and its engineers have learnt from world-renowned overclocker Nick Shih, diligently studying what they need to break world records and perform their best.
“As Intel® launches its Z590 chipset to power the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, ASRock once again is your partner in conquering the overclocking world with the Z590 OC Formula,” said Chris Lee, general manager of ASRock motherboard business unit.
Back by popular demand from overclockers, the ASRock Z590 OC Formula is filled with overclocking-friendly specs such as SMD Type DIMM Slots, a 12-layer server-grade low loss PCB, and 16 power phase 90A smart power stage technology.
ASRock’s SMD DIMM Slots help reduce signal loss, as well as improve RAM stability under high frequency so you can maximize your memory overclocking potential. The 12-layer server-grade PCB prevents PCB bending and improves signal integrity, giving higher performance as well as system stability. Smart power stage technologies are optimized for monitoring the current and temperature of each power phase which means the CPU gets a smooth supply of power resulting in enhanced overclocking performance and capability.
The Z590 OC Formula features unique PCB Backdrill craftsmanship which removes the excess stub in multilayered printed wiring boards. This benefits extreme memory overclocking by allowing signal to flow between layers with less loss through attenuation while also improving impedance matching.
To ensure that overclockers have easy access to key performance data, the motherboard also includes an OLED display. The motherboard also features an OC button for easy control of the overclocking features.
Aside from the world’s leading overclocking features, the Z590 OC Formula has industry-leading specs that everyone from overclockers, gamers to power users need.
The WiFi 6E technology that extends to the whole new 6GHz spectrum band, providing more WiFi capability gives better and faster internet traffic. The onboard 2.5Gb/s LAN high-performance network delivers plenty of bandwidth to devices like NAS backup devices or allowing gamers to enjoy the lowest latency so they can rack up the most kills. The board is also equipped with USB 3.2 Gen-2×2 headers, providing the most convenient connectivity for USB storage devices in need of superfast 20Gb/s transfer speeds.
PCIe4.0, the latest interconnect standard which doubles bandwidth available with PCIe 3.0, comes standard on the board to ensure that SSDs and GPUs perform their best. For the richest and clearest audio on the market, the Z590 OC Formula has ESS 9218 DAC Wima audio caps built-in delivers true HiFi audio without distortion to give crystal clear audio quality, and with the 112dB THD+N there is support for higher impedance for up to 600ohm using headphones.

This is a product from the Phantom Gaming range, which includes the Phantom Gaming 4 mATX, the 4/ac, and the Phantom Gaming ITX boards. Asrock has also the Taichi, Extreme, Steel Legend, and Pro series, so you can choose whichever tier suits you. The PG Velocita is a higher-end product line within the Phantom Gaming family. “Velocità” is Italian for “Velocity”, and here it’s supposed to tell you that this is the top product in the PG range. Still, if we compare it with the rest of the Asrock line-up, this is actually more of a mid-tier Intel socket 1200 board. It should give you the most important features, while also providing a level of stability and extras you won’t find in the cheaper models. The design is very attractive. Dynamic, yet stylish, the Asrock Z590 PG Velocita uses a black-and-silver design, on an all-black PCB.

The 11th generation Intel Core series CPU has not yet appeared, the motherboard of the Z590 chipset will be the first to enter the battle, ASRock will launch the new Z590 TAICHI, continue to use strong power supply materials and perfect peripheral connectivity as a selling point, using 14-phase 90A Dr.MOS The power supply module fully meets the power requirements of the next generation Intel Core i9 under heavy overclocking. Continue to have a full-covered heat-dissipating armor and aluminum alloy back panel design. The all-black color scheme sets off the gear decoration that symbolizes the Tai Chi series. One set of gears will rotate slowly when the system is running. I want to build the 11th generation Intel machine. Readers may wish to consider it.

ASRock’s Taichi range of motherboard has been a solid choice for both AMD and Intel processors and the Z490 is the latest for team blue. As well as continuing the gorgeous aesthetics we’ve come to love with this series, the latest Taichi motherboard from ASRock comes with support for 10th and 11th Gen Intel processors.
Because we’re talking 11th Gen support, ASRock has worked in PCIe 4.0 tech that will be ready to go with the latest CPUs from Intel. There’s a heavy power delivery phase design with active cooling for enhanced performance and overclocking and 2.5Gb/s LAN (or Wi-Fi 6) connectivity allows for some seriously fast data transfer over networks.

First, Z590 offers native PCIe 4.0 support from the CPU, which means the PCIe and M.2 slots powered off the CPU will offer PCIe 4.0 connectivity when an 11th Gen CPU is installed. The PCIe and M.2 slots controlled by the Z590 chipset are still PCI 3.0. While many high-end Z490 motherboards advertised this capability, it was not a standard feature for the platform. In addition to PCIe 4.0 support, Z590 offers USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 from the chipset. The USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 standard offers speeds of up to 20 Gb/s. Finally, Z590 boasts native support for 3200 MHz DDR4 memory. With these upgrades, Intel’s Z series platform has feature parity with AMD’s B550. On paper, Intel is catching up to AMD, but only testing will tell if these new Z590 motherboards are up to the challenge.
