ASRock Signs Up as Intel Arc Board Partner, Shows Off A380 Challenger Custom Board

ASRock has signed up as one of Intel's board partners for its Arc "Alchemist" graphics cards, and is ready with its custom-design Arc A380 Challenger card, pictured below. The company joins the likes of China's Gunnir, in bringing to market some of the first graphics cards from the yet-elusive GPUs from Intel. The ASRock-branded custom A380 card surfaced on Chinese social-media site Bilibili, revealing a cost-effective design, with a simple aluminium mono-block fan-heatsink. The board draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, and like Gunnir's A380 card, has a spartan-looking PCB. There's still no word on global availability, and ASRock could stick to the China-first rollout of Arc.

Thats a healthy mix of parts, AMD CPU's, SuperMicro motherboard, Noctua coolers, Phanteks case, Intel GPU, AMD GPU, nVidia GPU, not sure of the nVME drive, but it might be a WD Black.

It is a WD Black drive. I think its a 750 (non SE).

This made me giggle a bit. It's like Gunnir made a super engineered-backplated-illuminated launch card and Asrock slapped in a flower aluminum heatsink with a tampo print on the plastic shroud and called it a day :D
