ASRock Launches LiveMixer Series Motherboards

[btarunr]

Leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, is proud to announce its new lineup, LiveMixer. There are Z790 LiveMixer and B650 LiveMixer for Intel's and AMD's new platform separately, which are produced in partnership with content creators that need motherboards with superb reliability, cutting-edge performance and an extended connectivity mix for the many auxiliary devices required for streaming. LiveMixer is the incarnation of valiance. It sets us free from the concrete jungle with its colorful graffiti. The stylish pattern represents the courage and bravery we possess to speak up for ourselves and try new things enriching life.

"We've studied the need of live streaming for a long time, and here comes our first LiveMixer that helps streamers to stream in great quality with its well VRM design, additional PCIe slots and twenty-plus USB ports." Says Chris Lee, Vice President of ASRock Motherboard & Gaming Monitor Business Unit. With a maximum of 23 USB ports to connect external devices, users will never run short. Hook up every peripheral, whether it's mice, keyboards, microphones, headsets, multiple cameras, fill-lights, macropads, and much more. Equipped with dual PCI-Express 4x slots & Thunderbolt header, The LiveMixer allows users to connect a graphics card, a high-speed capture card and a Thunderbolt add-in card at the same time.



Expedite video editing using the newest PCI-Express 5.0 NVMe SSDs with incredible data-transfer speeds. A multi-layer heatsink provides superb heat dissipation, ensuring even during sustained heavy use the highest performance SSDs can work without thermal throttling.

Ultra USB Power
The LiveMixer features Ultra USB Power, which uses a dedicated IC that converts 12 V power to 5 V, ensuring less voltage drop to provide more stable power to demanding USB devices. Completely separated from other 5 V circuits, it ensures USB audio devices suffer less noise, and it prevents power-related interference from other 5 V connected devices, such as ARGB LEDs.

Lightning Gaming Ports
The LiveMixer includes Lightning Gaming Ports that are dedicated to providing the lowest latency mouse and keyboard input. Lightning Gaming Ports connect via their own dedicated controller, which avoids signal delay, helping gamers to play with minimal jitter and input latency.

Show Your Personality
Build a fresh rig that reflects your personality, enjoyment of streaming, and gaming live. Create without compromise, attach all your gear all the time. Never sweat it. Set your streams free.

Whoa! That was fun and different. Nice job ASRock, though it's too bad that the vast majority of these boards won't actually be visible (especially given the size of current gen GPUs!). Still, really nice to see something (very!) different for once.

 

[KrazedOmega]

I...actually like the orange one. Both are a nice change from the usual black, silver, or white.

 

[Space Lynx]

I actually like this, its nice to see some change. I may get that orange one

 

[Valantar]

Honestly, pulling of a "graffiti themed" motherboard without this seeming incredibly cheesy and hackneyed is really well done. Even if these are "just" graphics, there's some real design thinking put into this.

 

[bonehead123]

WELL, at first I was saying to myself, oh my, just what we need, moar circus lite'em up rainbow puke....now applied to mobos like everything else nowadayz....

But when I opened the post, I was pleasantly surprised to see some graphics designs that actually look kinda cool...especially that ORANGE one, nice job ! And I am generally not a big AsSruk fan either....

But what exactly is a "lightning gaming port" ? Probably just a over-hyped description of the USB ports for the rodent & KB that has it's own controller ?....the marketing team must have worked overtime on that one, hehehe

I'm with you on this. It's actually interesting and fresh. I prefer all black boards or ye old green with copper and ALU but this is a new take on things. They've also got a clear market of the twitch and creator crowd. My niece needs a new box and this would work well for her. Also no reason they can't pull this same stunt on a GPU!

The last silly "hot take" on mobo colors I thought was interesting was when MSI just made everything silver. That died off though.

Also interesting they seem to have done this without littering with extra lights, massive heatsinks that do nothing, and LEDs/OLED everywhere.

I dislike the idea. Graffiti is ugly and ruins the original idea of the object.
If you want interesting pictures, then open Paint or visit a gallery

 

[HTC]

Isn't this merely a way to charge more for a board?

 

[Valantar]

Graffiti [...] ruins the original idea of the object.

... what? What does that even mean?

Isn't this merely a way to charge more for a board?

Only if it's actually meaningfully more expensive than similar alternatives? Also, isn't the same true for, well, any aesthetic considerations that aren't "screw it, let's pick the cheapest option"?

 

[ARF]

... what? What does that even mean?

Imagine a wall of a building. Who told you that you have the right to paint it with graffiti?
Or imagine a train - who gives you the right to ruin the train with graffiti?

... what?

1: graffiti is paint. Walls are often - even mostly - painted. There is no clear break between "wall" or "train" and "paint". The only question is the legality or officialness of the paint job. Which brings us to the next point:
2: This is a motherboard explicitly designed with this design. By the motherboard maker. From the start. "The original idea of the object" here is literally "graffiti-themed motherboard".

Your logic here makes no sense whatsoever. You're entirely welcome to dislike the graffiti aesthetic, but please don't try to make that taste judgement into some bigger argument than what it is.

Ah, my favorite, orange soda and grape-juice flavor motherboards

we don't know the price yet, best not to jump to conclusions just yet. ASRock has been the budget option for awhile now, so we will see.

It's interesting what they did with the USB power; I wonder if it does any good. USB is one of the worst (noisy, jittery) ways to transfer audio to and from a PC (I'm not going to argue about that so don't bother lol). Then again, audio generally gets ruined once it gets compressed by Youtube, etc., and it's generally just voice for streaming, so it really doesn't matter.

Then, I dislike it and they won't receive a single coin from me

That's a collab I can get behind - assuming they bundle a chocolate replica of the motherboard alongside it, of course.

 

[kapone32]

What I like about this is both AMD and Intel get some love.

Just wait till your motherboard starts to melt under load.

Uhhh people and local governments set up graffiti sites and often not only sanction but pay huge sums of money to let local artists paint on the walls in areas. Not all graffiti is the same. It's a recognized art form.

Here's stuff from where I am from.

Graffiti isn't what you seem to indicate it is. Are there vandals, yeah sure. But that's like saying punk rock or techno are all underground illegal drug fed movements. May have been at some point, sure as hell is not true now. Things change times change.

Yeah and some of the most famous graffiti artist have art exhibits!

Again, just in my home town.

Grafitti is often connected with criminal activity, for good reason. Get out of your comfy neighborhood, take a tour through he hood sometime, and you'll see how bad the tagging can get.

No Graffiti was used as propaganda just like the term "Disco Sucks". There is no evidence of a leak between Crime and Graffiti until then.

More interesting than the RGB G@m3r aesthetic we're use to seeing.
