Verdict

The ASRock X570 Steel Legend WiFi ax is an ATX motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset, supporting AM4 socket processors from the Ryzen 2000 through 5000 series. It features a robust 10-power phase design with 60A chokes, four DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB at 4666+ MHz (OC), and dual PCIe 4.0 x16 slots. High-speed connectivity is a highlight, with integrated Intel Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) reaching up to 2.4Gbps, Bluetooth 5.2, and dual Hyper M.2 slots (PCIe Gen4 x4). Key pros include its exceptional power efficiency, extensive storage options with eight SATA3 ports, and premium Realtek ALC1220 7.1 CH audio. However, some users note drawbacks such as an adequate rather than top-tier VRM for heavy overclocking and the requirement to remove large passive heatsinks to access M.2 drives.
