Gigabyte Launches B850M Force microATX Motherboards, Reviving Orange Force Series for AMD AM5 Processors

GIGABYTE has a little surprise as it just listed a new B850 motherboard on its website, named B850M Force. This standard microATX form-factor AM5 motherboard marks the return of GIGABYTE's SOC Force series (i.e., GA-Z170X-SOC Force or GA-Z97X-SOC Force) that "eons ago" delighted Intel users with its striking orange aesthetics. Going from the cold, full white designs of its B850 Ice motherboards such as B850 Aorus Stealth Ice or B850M Eagle Ice series launched in January, this newly launched Force motherboard series packs a complete set of features tailored for a variety of users as well as retro enthusiasts from the Intel Z97 and Z170 times a decade ago.

The GIGABYTE B850 Force microATX motherboard is built around AMD's B850 chipset and supports the full range of AMD Ryzen processors for the AM5 socket, including the latest 9000 series CPUs. The board has an 8+2+2 phase digital VRM with heatsinks and supports up to 128 GB of DDR5 memory across two DIMM slots, with speeds up to overclocked 9600 MT/s (including AMD EXPO and XMP profiles). Storage connectivity consists of three M.2 slots supporting different PCIe configurations alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s connectors. Expansion capabilities include a PCIe x16 slot that supports PCIe 5.0 and an additional PCIe x4 slot from the chipset. Connectivity features include integrated Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3 (for the Wi-Fi 6E model), a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controller, and multiple USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen 2 and USB-C connections. Alongside its orange appearance, the motherboard has another surprise: a PS/2 port for those who are truly into the retro theme. Display outputs consist of HDMI 2.1 supporting 4K at 60 Hz and DisplayPort 1.4 capable of 4K at 144 Hz (depending on the iGPU capabilities of the installed processor).

ASRock BIOS Update Mentions Next-gen AMD CPU Compatibility - Possibly Ryzen 9000G Series

Yesterday, ASRock's South Korean office issued a statement regarding problematic hardware pairings; affecting current-gen motherboards and AMD Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" desktop processors. Curiously, the Taiwanese manufacturer's local branch slipped in an intriguing tidbit into its message, addressed to members of the Quasar Zone forum: "ASRock has released a new BIOS version 3.25. This version is based on AMD AGESA 1.2.0.3d, and has been improved to enhance compatibility with next-generation CPUs and optimize PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) settings to enable more stable system operation." Due to media outlets focusing on an important BIOS update, a major hint was largely ignored. Fortunately, VideoCardz's keen eye was not distracted by current affairs.

According to their evening report (dated June 4), their local contacts have confirmed that there are no misunderstandings when Westerners machine translate ASRock Korea's original statement. Naturally, guess work—about the company's teasing of next-gen processors—will land on two upcoming Team Red product families. VideoCardz quickly eliminated a successive "Zen 6" CPU series, aka "Ryzen 10000." Despite recent leaks, industry watchdogs anticipate (at best) a mid-2026 debut. Given the uptick of semi-official Ryzen 9000G "Gorgon Point" leaks throughout Q2'25, VideoCardz reckons that AMD and mainboard partners are preparing for the arrival of this Zen 5 + RDNA 3.5-based APU series. Industry insiders have proposed a fourth quarter launch window.

ASRock Taking AMD Motherboard and Ryzen CPU Issues Very Seriously

At Computex 2025, ASRock deliberated over the problems that have plagued certain AMD 800-series motherboard models. Fatal combinations—usually affecting popular Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming CPUs—have been highlighted by sections of the PC hardware community, and (subsequently) press outlets. Months ago, the Taiwanese mainboard manufacturer's Japanese branch took a combative stance (in response to widespread criticism). Following continued failures of Team Red "Granite Ridge" desktop processors on "mid-to-high-end" ASRock mainboards—even in non-3D V-Cache guises—company representatives have interacted with key media conduits, including Tech YES City's Bryan Bilowol. Coinciding with the release of fresh BIOS fixes, long-form video coverage of Q&A sessions have turned up on YouTube.

Company reps have alluded to a warranty replacement scheme, but full details were not disclosed during May-time Computex proceedings. Many critics are still waiting for an official company statement; hopefully addressed to a global audience. In the meantime, one regional office has weighed in with some much-needed outreach: "ASRock Korea takes the recent AMD 800 series motherboard issues experienced by some users very seriously and will follow up with you to protect your trust. ASRock is continuously monitoring the performance and stability of the platform and will provide a firmware update as soon as possible if any issues are identified. In addition, if the system you are using is damaged due to this issue, we will take responsible measures for both the CPU and the motherboard distributed through the official domestic importer, and please submit the case through ASRock Korea's official distributor for diagnosis and processing. ASRock Korea will continue to listen to the voices of our customers and do our best to remain a trusted brand." This message was posted on Quasar Zone; a high-traffic PC hardware forum. A good number of manufacturers have responded to cases raised by members of this South Korean community.

ASRock Motherboard Team Believes That Overly Fierce PBO Settings Have Damaged Ryzen 9000 CPUs

Earlier this month, Bryan Bilowol—of Tech YES City fame—was taken aback by the unexpected "death" of his Ryzen 9 9950X processor, at the alleged hands of an ASRock X870 Steel Legend motherboard. Throughout early 2025, widespread news reports and community tracking efforts have largely implicated ASRock boards. AMD's highly popular Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming CPU has "fallen victim" on numerous occasions, but a smaller number of incidents have affected non-3D V-Cache equipped Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" models. The Taiwanese manufacturer and Team Red have investigated these problems, and have released fixes via BIOS updates. Despite these efforts, unhappy owners have experienced CPU failures in Q2'25. Following the uploading of initial findings and theories, Bilowol promised further reports. Fortunately, a sit-down—with ASRock's motherboard team—happened late last week, at Computex 2025. At the time of writing, the company has not published an official statement regarding their latest findings or fixes. Tech YES City shared a couple of compelling details in a May 26 YouTube upload (viewable below).

Commenting on the Ryzen 9000 CPU failure situation, Bilowol relayed important ASRock material: (the motherboard team) told me it had to do with the EDC and TDC, which is the electric design current as well as the thermal design current. Essentially, they're saying it's an ampage problem that exists with the precision boost overdrive (PBO) settings. In particular, these mid-range and high-end motherboards—say for instance a B650E or an X670E Taichi or even a B850 Steel Legend—have the ability to run Ryzen 9000 series CPUs at their maximum PBO settings out of the box. What's happening here is ASRock told me they were implementing these settings to what they believe was too aggressive for what the CPUs were able to handle, at least for earlier samples. However, they do promise me that these issues have been fixed with their latest BIOS updates that they're rolling out for these mid-range and high-end motherboards. They also told me that the lower-end boards, say for instance, an A620 HDV or something like that, shouldn't be affected by this issue simply because those PBO settings have been deliberately tuned down, due to the motherboard in question not being a high-end model." Three months back, ASRock's Japanese branch accused the PC hardware community of spreading "misinformation." Hopefully, the latest batch of fixes will bring an end to all Ryzen 9000 CPU + high-end/mid-range ASRock mainboard controversies.

Maxsun's Concept Water Cooled GPU Spotted Next to iCraft Z890/B860 Motherboards at Computex 2025

Among Maxsun's iCraft Z890 and B860 motherboards, there is an interesting "tiny little" product on display at their Computex 2025 booth. It seems that Maxsun engineers are flexing their muscles, presenting what seems to be a concept water-cooler graphics card with tubing on the side, encased in a transparent monoblock. Not much is known at this moment, we cannot guarantee that such an idea will ever get beyond experimental stages. However, the concept is interesting, and we can see its applicability as an external GPU (product is shown standing both horizontally and vertically), more than as a classic internal graphics card. More for its aesthetic value and compact format, it would be a shame to hide it inside a desktop PC case.
More pictures with iCraft series motherboards follows.

ASUS ROG Teases Continued Refinement of Modular Hardware Concepts
