The ASRock X570 Creator supports AMD's Ryzen 3000 processors and their complete feature set, most notably the PCI Express 4.0 standard, plus features such as a Wi-Fi 6/BT module, 10 Gigabit LAN, on-board sound, enhanced PCIe slots and numerous internal headers. It also supports OC memory with clock frequencies up to 4666 MHz. Two PCIe 4.0 slots in x16 format are available for graphics cards, which are directly connected to the Ryzen 3000 processor via a total of 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes. Another PCIe x16 slot is connected to the chipset via 4 lanes (PCIe 4.0 for Ryzen 3000; PCIe 3.0 for all previous generations). Three additional PCIe-2.0 x1 slots are available for plug-in and expansion cards. The X570 chipset supports AMD Ryzen 3000 processors and their complete feature set, most notably the PCI Express standard in version 4.0. PCIe 4.0 is downward compatible and can be used with all expansion cards of previous generations. Compared to PCIe 3.0, the data transfer rate per PCIe-4.0 lane is twice as high, so that a NVMe-SSD connected via four PCIe-4.0 lanes can achieve a theoretical speed of up to 7.8 GB/s. Mainboards with the X570 chipset are also suitable for all other AMD CPU series for the AM4 socket.
