Software & Lights
As far as motherboard companion software ASRock makes it quite easy for you to download software with their Live Update & App Shop software. It lists available drivers, utilities, etc that you can download.
The main companion software is called Phatom Gaming Tuning. On the main page you’ll see your operation mode. You can choose from Performance Mod, Standard Mode, and Power Saving.
The next tab over is OC Tweaker. Here you can fully tune your system by changing the CPU ratio, BCLK, voltages, etc.
The System Info tab is next. This gives you live information on your system.
In FAN-Tastic Tuning you can tune all of the fans connected to your motherboard.
The other piece of software we want to highlight was ASRock’s Polychrome RGB. Here you can set the colors on the onboard RGB LEDs under the PCH heatsink as well as the three RGB headers on the board.
The lighting under the PCH heatsink is quite nice, although it will be partly covered up by your graphics card.
