TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 22, 2015 – Remember that time when you had to perform a sort of sword dance ritual with your dysfunctional TV remote in order to make it work? To refresh your memory, it involved fanatical waving, twisting your arms into unfathomable yoga positions, and lots and lots of cursing. Those barbaric days of the dark past are almost over, pretty soon you can use ASRock Gaming's new router G10 to turn your smart phone into a universal remote controller!

Speed Up with ASRock's Front USB 3.1 Panel and U.2 Kit

TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 16, 2015 – We've already seen plentiful amounts of motherboards that have USB 3.1 ports built into the rear I/O, but I bet you've never seen this new interface appear on the front panel of your computer case. Apparently not, because ASRock is the world's first to support front Type-A and Type-C USB 3.1 ports with their Front USB 3.1 Panel. Additionally, the innovative company has also announced the birth of U.2 Kits, add-on cards that may support the latest and fastest Intel® SSD 750 Series.

That said, you still need to double check on whether your motherboard supports Microsoft's new operating system. The good news is ASRock is ready.
