Verdict

The ASRock B460M PRO4 is a Micro ATX motherboard designed for 10th Gen Intel Core processors on the LGA 1200 socket, featuring a robust 9-phase power design and premium 50A power chokes for stable delivery. Key specifications include four DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB at 2933MHz, dual Ultra M.2 slots (PCIe Gen3 x4), and comprehensive connectivity with HDMI, DisplayPort, and a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C port. Its primary advantages include Base Frequency Boost (BFB) technology for non-K CPUs, a dedicated M.2 Key E slot for WiFi modules, and high-quality Realtek ALC1200 7.1 CH audio. However, notable drawbacks include a lack of CPU and memory overclocking support inherent to the B460 chipset, and the disabling of one SATA port if the second M.2 slot is used with a SATA-type device.
