Card Readers
This covers front-panel card readers on ASRock-based desktops, which are not standalone devices but bays wired into an internal USB header on the motherboard. Their behavior therefore follows the board's chipset and USB drivers rather than any reader-specific package. When a front-panel slot misbehaves, install ASRock's chipset and USB drivers for your exact board model, since a healthy USB stack is what makes the header and its attached reader work.
Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11
Front-panel readers connect via USB headers; chipset/USB drivers come from the board maker.

For a desktop using an ASRock motherboard's video outputs, the driver that runs the display comes from the GPU vendor, whether that is the integrated graphics in the processor or a discrete card, not from ASRock itself. ASRock's role is the chipset support underneath. When a motherboard display output misbehaves, install the appropriate GPU vendor's graphics driver for your processor or card, and use ASRock's chipset package for the platform beneath it.

For motherboard display outputs, the driver comes from the GPU vendor; chipset support from the board maker.

ASRock boards that ship with wireless include an onboard Bluetooth radio, and the driver is listed under the individual board's support page rather than as a universal file. As with other board makers, the wireless part changes across models, so the correct package is the one named for your exact board. Check the model designation printed on the board when in doubt.

ASRock provides chipset packages per motherboard, pairing the AMD or Intel platform driver with the descriptors tested for that model and revision. As with other board makers, the correct file depends on the exact board, since chipset generations differ across the range. Check the model name on the board when choosing the download.

Read the full family referenceEthernet & LAN
For an ASRock-based build, this is the LAN driver ASRock provides for the network controller on that particular board, matched to its firmware. ASRock boards carry a mix of gigabit and multi-gig Realtek and Intel controllers, so finding your board's support page helps ensure the correct pairing. Using the board-specific package rather than a generic controller driver is what keeps the wired link stable on ASRock hardware.

Read the full family referenceNetwork & Wi-Fi
ASRock publishes wired and wireless network drivers on the support page for each of its motherboards, matched to the specific Ethernet and Wi-Fi hardware fitted to that board. The right package is tied to your exact ASRock model and revision. Reach it by looking up your board on ASRock's support site and installing the networking drivers listed there.

ASRock desktop boards get their chipset and storage packages, including RAID support, from ASRock's support page by board model. These drive the board's storage controllers and enable array modes where used. Download the package listed for your specific ASRock board, since selecting the wrong model can leave the controller driven by a generic driver and hide a RAID array.

Read the full family referenceUSB & Thunderbolt
ASRock lists USB controller drivers on the support page for each of its motherboards, covering both chipset ports and any add-on controllers on the board. Because the mix of controllers varies by model, the correct package is the one tied to your exact board and revision. Reach it by looking up your board model on ASRock's support site and taking the USB package listed there.

Read the full family referenceBIOS & UEFI
This is the UEFI firmware for ASRock desktop motherboards such as the Steel Legend and Taichi lines. It initializes the platform and stores boot and tuning settings. The Instant Flash tool built into the UEFI menu is the recommended way to update it, reading the firmware file directly from a USB drive. In general, select the file listed for your specific board model to avoid an incompatible flash.
Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11
Use Instant Flash from the UEFI menu with the file for your specific board.
