Colorful just gave us a peek at their brand new AMD X870 motherboard, the CVN X870 ARK FROZEN V14. You can find it listed on their website right away. What makes this board special? It comes with a neat graphics card release system. They added a simple switch near the memory slots marked "ON or OFF" that lets you pop out your graphics card fast. They say this setup keeps everything super safe.
The board looks amazing with its white circuit board and frost-themed cooling parts. Power comes from a strong 14+2+1 phase design using 80 A DrMOS parts. It needs two 8-pin plugs for the CPU power. Memory options rock as well. Four slots hold up to 192 GB total RAM, with each slot taking 48 GB max. Want speed? This board handles memory running at 8000 MHz when you push it hard.
Looking at expansion slots, the main PCIe 5.0 slot links straight to the CPU. They added metal around it and that quick-release switch. You also get another full-size PCIe 4.0 slot that shares data paths with the third M.2 spot. A small PCIe 4.0 x1 slot rounds things out. Storage options feel generous, with two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots talking directly to the CPU and one more PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot through the chipset. Four SATA ports let you hook up older drives.
Internet runs fast through the Realtek chip, giving you 5 GbE wired speeds. The MediaTek part brings cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 plus Bluetooth 5.4 to the party. Sound comes through a Realtek ALC1220 system. The back panel sports HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs. USB ports abound, including a speedy USB-C port with 40 Gbps data speed that also works with monitors. You find five audio jacks back there, plus optical audio out and antenna connections.
Want to buy one? Colorful said these boards should hit stores around mid-April. They haven't told us the price yet. This board marks their first step into making graphics card removal easier with that special switch system. The white color scheme really stands out compared to most dark motherboards on the market. The high-end parts inside match its premium look, making this a great choice for anyone building a powerful AMD system.
