Since the board doesn’t come with a 2-character POST code LED, this is a valuable feature to have when troubleshooting POST issues. The lights disappear when the parts above function normally. PSC diagnoses the computer during the POST process and emits a red light to indicate if CPU, Memory, VGA, or storage is non-functional. Wedged between these two features is the Post Status Checker (PSC). Located above the DRAM slots are two more fan headers and the first 3-pin ARGB and 4-pin RGB headers. Much beyond that and you’re veering away from the performance-to-cost ratio. We easily ran our DDR4 3600 kit at 1:1 in both 2x8GB and 4x8GB configurations. Per usual, your mileage will vary there, as reaching those speeds requires a processor with a great integrated memory controller (IMC) and a suitable memory kit to do so. The Riptide supports 128GB of RAM, with speeds listed up to DDR4 5000+(OC). To the right of the socket area are four unreinforced DRAM slots. This should be plenty of power for most fans and pumps. The CPU fan connector supports up to 1A/12W, while the CPU/Water Pump header and the Chassis/water pump connectors support up to 2A/24W. Several headers (CPU_FAN2/WP, CHA_FAN1/2/3/4/5/WP) auto-detect three (DC) or four-pin (PWM) configurations. Just below is the first of several (seven to be exact) 4-pin fan headers. Although the temperatures were in order in our open-air test system, I would still like to see both VRM banks with heatsinks. Delivering power to the CPU is a required 8-pin EPS connector and an optional 4-pin connector. Starting with the top half, we get a closer look at the “XXL” heatsink for the left VRM bank and the fully exposed top of the VRM bank. Below is a complete list of the included accessories from the ASRock website. With the best graphics cards seemingly growing in size by generation, this unique (patent pending) device that mounts to the motherboard should prove helpful to those with oversize GPUs. A great value-add to this stack is the Graphics card holder. The included accessory stack that comes in the box with the X570 Riptide is pretty thin on this budget-priced board, but should still include most of what you need to get going.
