Colorful Technology Company Limited has officially unveiled the CVN X870 ARK FROZEN, a new ATX motherboard designed to support the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors. This marks the company’s first entry into the AMD X870 chipset platform, bringing a fresh offering to users building around the AM5 socket.
The CVN X870 ARK FROZEN continues COLORFUL’s approach to visually distinctive designs, drawing inspiration from military and naval engineering. The board features a titanium gray PCB with frost gray heatsinks, a departure from the brand’s previous AM5 models. Bright orange accents are used across the board to emphasize key zones and add visual contrast. The M.2 heatsinks have etched patterns resembling aircraft carrier runways, reinforcing the board’s design theme.
From a hardware standpoint, the CVN X870 ARK FROZEN is built to handle high-performance components. It features a 14+2+1 power phase configuration, aimed at supporting the full performance of top-tier processors like the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. This setup provides stable power delivery, especially under demanding workloads or overclocked conditions.
The motherboard supports DDR5 memory with speeds up to 6400 MHz and CL28 latency, which is a key specification for users looking to optimize gaming and content creation performance. An updated BIOS introduces a new “X3D Game Mode,” offering users tailored performance settings that align with AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, particularly beneficial for latency-sensitive applications.
On the connectivity front, the CVN X870 ARK FROZEN is equipped with 5 GbE wired networking and Wi-Fi 7 wireless capabilities. These additions ensure fast and stable connections, catering to both esports players and general users who require reliable bandwidth for high-speed downloads, game streaming, and multitasking.
A notable physical feature of this motherboard is the CVN Pullout Switch. This mechanism is positioned near the PCIe slot and is designed to make GPU removal easier. By using a rear latch system, it helps prevent damage to the PCB during component swaps. This function is especially useful in cramped builds or when upgrading graphics cards frequently.
The board also includes multiple PCIe Gen5 slots, high-speed USB connectivity, and several M.2 slots with dedicated heatsinks for managing thermals during intensive storage operations.
The CVN X870 ARK FROZEN aims to serve users looking to build high-performance PCs with AMD’s newest CPUs while offering a design that stands out visually. More technical details and availability can be found on COLORFUL’s official website.
