ASROCK Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 is a full-sized ATX motherboard built on Intel's Z390 chipset, designed for LGA 1151 socket processors including Intel K-Series unlocked CPUs with support for Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. Measuring 12.0 in x 8.8 in (30.5 cm x 22.4 cm), it fits standard mid-tower and full-tower cases and is an established platform for enthusiast-grade 8th and 9th generation Intel builds. Power delivery is handled by a 10-phase digital power design using premium 50A power chokes, providing stable, clean power to the CPU under sustained workloads and overclocking scenarios. ASRock's BCLK Full-range Overclocking support, combined with a Performance Mode / Easy OC header, gives experienced builders flexible tuning options directly through the UEFI. Memory support spans four DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 64 GB. The board accepts DDR4 speeds from 2133 MHz up to 4300 MHz (OC) and is compatible with Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 2.0. DIMM slots feature 15μ gold contacts for reliable, corrosion-resistant connections. Storage is comprehensive: six SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports support RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 via Intel Rapid Storage Technology 16, while two Ultra M.2 sockets (M2_1 and M2_2) each support PCIe Gen3 x4 (up to 32 Gb/s) and SATA3 modes. M2_2 additionally accommodates the longer Type 22110 form factor. Intel Optane memory and storage technology is supported. Note that SATA port availability changes depending on which M.2 slots are occupied and whether SATA or PCIe M.2 modules are installed. Expansion slots include two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (single GPU runs at x16; dual GPU configuration runs x16/x4), three PCIe 3.0 x1 Flexible slots, and one M.2 Key E slot for a 2230 WiFi/Bluetooth module or Intel CNVi module. AMD Quad CrossFireX and CrossFireX multi-GPU configurations are supported. Connectivity at the rear I/O includes one USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A port (10 Gb/s), one USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port (10 Gb/s), two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports, and two USB 2.0 ports. Internal headers add four additional USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and three USB 2.0 ports. Networking is handled by the Intel I219V Gigabit LAN controller (10/100/1000 Mb/s) with Wake- LAN, Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az, ESD/lightning protection, and PXE support. Audio is delivered by a Realtek ALC892 codec supporting 7.1-channel HD audio with ELNA audio capacitors and Blu-ray audio support. Display outputs cover D-Sub (up to 1920×1200 @ 60 Hz), DVI-D (up to 1920×1200 @ 60 Hz), and HDMI 1.4 (up to 4096×2160 @ 30 Hz), with triple-monitor support via integrated graphics on compatible CPUs. HDCP 2.2 is supported on HDMI 1.4. ASRock Polychrome SYNC controls two onboard 12V RGB LED headers and one 5V addressable RGB header, enabling synchronisation with compatible lighting accessories. The board carries FCC and CE certifications and includes a 3-year warranty.
