ASRock Z790 PG Sonic Leaks, Most Likely Limited Edition for the Asian Market
Today Intel launched its 13th gen Core processors alongside the Z790 chipset, which in turn lead to a lot of new motherboards being available. However, it appears that ASRock is working on a special edition of its Z790 PG Riptide board that has something of an unusual twist. The board is known as the Z790 PG Sonic and appears to be some kind of cooperation with Sega, since the board carries clear Sonic the Hedgehog branding.
The board seems to be some kind of limited edition version of the Z790 PG Riptide, as we can't spot any features that have changed, at least not based on the pictures posted by @momomo_us on Twitter. The top of the board has Sonic themed heatsinks, as well as some of the printing on the PCB and the rear is adorned with a rather large Sonic in white on the black PCB. Obviously the packaging is also adorned with a Sonic print, but there doesn't appear to be any other connection to Sonic or Sega, which makes the whole partnership a bit of a mystery at the moment, but it's highly likely that we're looking at a limited edition product for the Asian markets here.

I, for one, would love a blood soaked Doom themed motherboard.
this is a really cool design
I guess traditional Swedish blood bread would be less messy though...
"Gotta Go Fast"
yeah yeah ... door's on the left ... i know i know
(seriously dig that design tho ... )
heck even the box is cult-lector
but... i want AM4/5, from a brand that do them right ... i don't want Oogway, Cecil or Franklin turtle licensing on them .... eventually Bowser if it has to be that kind O.o
:roll:
I should point out that it's boiled before eaten in this way.
It's really quite tasty.Not that keen on smörgåstårta, personally I'd rather have the blood bread...
maybe a xuě dòufǔ
ASRock Z666 Schweizer Blutwurst edition, when?
Good to see them doing something different.
