Board Software

ASRock's software is relatively basic, but provides good control over fan speeds and RGB lighting. There's certainly not as much granularity and options when it comes to fan control here compared to the competition's software, though, and the EFI has more options, even if it appears to have fewer fan curve points. Ideally we'd like these to be mirrored across both EFI and software and visible from one page. There are basic overclocking options too, although with the abundance of physical controls this is maybe a little pointless on a board like this. The RGB lighting suite, otherwise known as Polychrome Sync, offers separate control over all the boards RGB channels where you can pick specific colors or choose from an array of lighting effects.
