“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.

From an ASRock press release:

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.

Live Mix Life Max
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.

Designed for Streaming
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 12V power to 5V, ensuring less voltage drop to provide more stable power to demanding USB devices. Completely separated from other 5V circuits, it ensures USB audio devices suffer less noise, and it prevents power-related interference from other 5V 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.
