The very first time we can it, it had to update the onboard controller firmware. This was quick, and only happened once, so no worries.

Once in, you have quite a few options and effects to choose from. Our ram and even RGB M.2 drive showed up and were easily controllable as well.

ASRock Motherboard Utility (A-Tuning)

The landing page gives you three operational modes, Standard, Performance, and Power saving.

The OC Tweaker page gives you all overclock settings. In this case, the H470 platform only allows some tweaks to voltages.

You can adjust all connected fans from the FAN-Tastic Tuning tab.
