ASRock to reveal “Game-Changing” BMD (Back-Connect) motherboards at CES 2025

ASRock plans to reveal its first Back-Connect motherboards at CES 2025

ASRock has confirmed that it plans to reveal its first “BMD” motherboards at CES 2025. What’s BMD? BMD stands for “Back Mount Design.” This is ASRock’s brand name for back-connect motherboard designs. These motherboards have power and IO connectors facing backwards, allowing for cleaner-looking systems when paired with compatible cases. These motherboards hide the cables that are connected to motherboards, removing the need for tidy cable management.

ASRock was not the first manufacturer to create “Back-Connect” motherboards. ASUS has their BTF series motherboards, and MSI has Project Zero. Now, ASRock is preparing to enter the arena with new BMD series designs. We expect to see BMD motherboards with AMD’s socket AM5 and Intel’s LGA1851 series chipsets.

ASRock’s New BMD Motherboards Are Game Changers for Empowering Your Next-Gen PCs

ASRock will showcase the new motherboards for the mainstream and budget segment that are based on the upcoming Intel & AMD chipset. The new motherboards include the Phantom Gaming series, the ever popular Steel Legend that comes in a white PCB design and the feature filled but budget friendly Pro RS and Pro-A series. ASRock will also be debuting its first BMD (back mount design) motherboard during CES 2025.

We expect to see a lot of back-connect products at CES 2025. Rumour has it that ASUS plans to unveil new AM5 BTF motherboards at the event. We also expect to see a new wave of Project Zero products from MSI. Will other motherboard manufacturers do the same? We will be keeping an eye out for any new developments at CES 2025.
