In the past, ASRock was a bit of a hack brand. Indeed, they have released a number of crazy solutions with motherboards with two memory standards or AGP and PCIe cards. Now, the brand is doing it again by offering an expansion card equipped with a second chipset. With this card, you can transform your B650 card into an X670 model!
Turn your B650 card into an X670 model thanks to ASRock!
Physically speaking, we find an expansion card with a PCIe x4 interface. As you can see, this model has a number of connectors since there are already two SATAIII. In addition, two M.2 are also part of the game, ditto for the USB-C 10 Gbps and the three USB-A. We finish by mentioning the Ethernet in 10 Gbps also and the presence of a second chipset.
For the moment it is difficult to say if the card is compatible with this or that card. Currently, it seems that this model only works with the B650 Live Mixer Special Edition of the brand. In fact, this module requires a specific connector on the motherboard to drive specific I/O. For the time being, neither of these two cards is available for sale on the market. Think of it more as a “temperature check” (as Level1Techs) from ASRock.
