Colorful released a new white-themed X870 motherboard for AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 processors. The CVN X870 ARK Frozen V14 is aimed at mid-range users rather than the high-end market segment. It features 14+2+1 power phases with 80A DrMOS components that help with CPU and memory overclocking, alongside decent-sized heatsinks to manage temperatures.

The board sports a mostly white design with orange accents and comes with frost cooling armor for better heat control. It includes shields for all M.2 slots and offers modern connectivity like WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Memory support goes up to 8200 MT/s, which works well for AM5 platforms where hitting high speeds can be challenging, especially with multiple RAM modules.

Storage options include two PCIe Gen 5.0 M.2 slots and one Gen 4.0 slot controlled by the chipset. The motherboard has two PCIe x16 slots and one PCIe x1 slot for expansion cards. A unique CVN Pullout Switch makes GPU installation and removal easier than with standard designs.

The rear panel includes several USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A ports, one USB4 40 Gbps Type C port, and two USB 2.0 ports. Display outputs consist of both HDMI and DisplayPort connections. A BIOS update button simplifies firmware upgrades, though the board lacks advanced troubleshooting features.
