Estoy a favor de la abundancia de placas base blancas en el mercado y esta ASRock B850 Steel Legend Wi-Fi ofrece la mayorĂa de lo que necesito para un PC AMD
White PC cases are very common these days but finding hardware to color-match with them can be tricky. Thankfully, there’s a growing number of motherboards and graphics cards to choose from when it comes to creating a clean, white PC and the ASRock B850 Steel Legend Wi-Fi is one of the cheapest options out there for doing so if you’re building an AMD PC using a Ryzen 7000 or 9000-series CPU.It doesn’t go quite as far with the white as Gigabyte and its Aorus Elite Ice motherboards, though, which have white ports and sockets for items such as memory modules and PCIe devices, However, the equivalent of the ASRock B850 chipset model we’re looking at today retails for noticeably more on Gigabyte’s side. The B850 chipset also brings with it the flexibility to drop certain features you might expect to see on a modern AMD motherboard.
For the ASRock B850 Steel Legend Wi-Fi, that cut comes in the form of USB4, which is optional on this chipset, and has been dropped from a variety of similar boards too as it’s deemed unnecessary given its expense and niche appeal that likely don’t match up with what is essentially a low-end motherboard in the overall scheme of things.
Ultimately, it also depends on what else ASRock has decided to cut from the specs list as to whether the ASRock B850 Steel Legend Wi-Fi is a decent option in its own right, aside from its color scheme.
He probado esta placa base Mini-ITX de ASRock y solo tiene sentido si puedes conseguirla a buen precio
He tenido el primer PC portátil modular para juegos en mis manos... y estoy bastante asustado de que lo voy a romper

For just over $230, it’s a great-looking motherboard, although, up close those white trimmings are more of a light silvery grey than pure white, but would still look better in a white PC case than a black motherboard. The 14+2+1 power phase design is cooled by two large heatsinks, with similar chunks of aluminium dealing with three of the four M.2 SSD ports too.
At mid-board is a single PCIe 5.0 M.2 port that’s equipped with a large tool-free heatsink, while the rest of the M.2 ports are all PCIe 4.0 and all can be used at the same time at full speed, with the only sacrifice being the second PCIe slot. Being able to run a PCIe 5.0 graphics card, SSD and three additional PCIe 4.0 SSDs at the same time is quite impressible for what is a low end motherboard, even if graphics cards won’t benefit for a few years in terms of actually offering higher frame rates.
Only of those ports lacks a heatsink and the lower ports use one single heatsink that will need tools to install.
