Riptide is named after a specific kind of water current with strong waves that occurs in the ocean, representing the philosophy of sea's double-side, calm and unlimited strength. Built around powerful gaming-related features, the Riptide has given a powerful smash and immersed users in the sense of stability.

Key Features:

• Optimized VRM design
  Dr.MOS is the integrated power stage solution which is optimized for synchronous buck-set down voltage applications! Compared to traditional discrete MOSFETs, it intelligently delivers higher current for each phase, thus providing improved thermal result and superior performance.
• DDR5 XMP and EXPO support
  Derived from the "built for stable and reliable" designing concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. This motherboard is built with low-loss materials, enthusiasts are able to enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are Intel XMP/AMD EXPO capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying and absolutely no sweat at all.
• DDR5 memory with protection circuit
  Due to the unique electrical architecture of DDR5 DIMM, there's a high risk of damaging the memory module if AC power isn't disconnected properly during removal or installation. To prevent this, ASRock has implemented a trouble-free protection circuit on every DDR5 motherboard, lowers the risk of damaging your memory module.
• PCIe 5.0 + surface-mount tech
  Compares to conventional DIP style PCIe slot, the SMT type PCIe slot improves signal flow and maximizes stability under high speed, a key breakthrough to fully support the lighting speed of the PCIe 5.0 standard.
• Reinforced steel slot
  The reinforced steel slot is capable of supporting PCI Express 5.0 standard. The various benefits include extra anchor points, strong latch, ensure signal stability and make sure heavy graphics cards to be well-installed.
