Overview
The ASRock Z690M Phantom Gaming 4 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z690 chipset, designed for Intel 12th and 13th Generation Core processors using the LGA1700 socket. Its compact 9.6-inch by 9.6-inch (24.4 cm x 24.4 cm) form factor makes it an excellent choice for space-conscious builds that demand full-featured platform support without sacrificing connectivity or expandability. Power delivery is handled by a 7-phase Dr.MOS design rated at 50A per phase, underpinned by ASRock's Super Alloy components including a premium power choke and high-density glass fabric PCB on a Sapphire Black substrate. This configuration supports stable operation across the supported CPU range, including Intel Hybrid Technology and Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology. Memory support spans four DDR4 DIMM slots in dual-channel configuration, accommodating non-ECC unbuffered modules at speeds up to 5333+ MHz (OC) and ECC UDIMM modules operating in non-ECC mode, with a maximum installed capacity of 128 GB. Intel XMP 2.0 profiles are supported for straightforward memory overclocking. Storage is well provisioned: two Hyper M.2 sockets (both capable of PCIe Gen4 x4 at up to 64 Gb/s) plus four SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors. RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported for SATA devices, while RAID 0, 1, and 5 are available for M.2 NVMe devices. Expansion slots include one PCIe 4.0 x16 (CPU-direct), one PCIe 3.0 x16 (chipset, x4 mode), and one PCIe 3.0 x1, along with an M.2 Key-E socket for optional WiFi/BT modules. Rear I/O includes one HDMI 2.1 TMDS-compatible port supporting up to 4K (4096x2160) at 60 Hz, two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports (10 Gb/s) with ReDriver, four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, an Intel I219V Gigabit LAN port, and HD audio jacks backed by the Realtek ALC897 7.1-channel codec with Nahimic Audio enhancement and surge protection. Internal headers add four USB 3.2 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 front-panel ports, plus a Thunderbolt 4 AIC connector. RGB and addressable LED headers (one RGB + three ARGB) integrate with ASRock Polychrome SYNC software for coordinated lighting across compatible peripherals. The board ships with a 128 Mb AMI UEFI BIOS, ASRock EZ Mode interface, Instant Flash, Internet Flash, and Easy RAID Installer. ASRock Full Spike Protection covers all USB, audio, and LAN ports. The warranty is 3 years.
