Overview
The ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming 4 is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the Intel Z490 chipset and designed for 10th Generation Intel Core processors using the LGA 1200 socket. Whether you are assembling a high-performance gaming rig or a capable productivity workstation, this board provides a solid foundation with its 10-phase digital power delivery design, ensuring stable and consistent power to the CPU — including support for unlocked K-series processors and Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology. Memory flexibility is a highlight: four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodate up to 128 GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, with native speeds up to 2933 MHz and overclocked profiles reaching DDR4 4400+ MHz (OC) via Intel XMP 2.0 support. The 15-micron gold contacts in the DIMM slots add long-term reliability to every memory swap. For storage, the board provides six SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 support via Intel Rapid Storage Technology 17, plus one Ultra M.2 socket (M2_2) capable of PCIe Gen3 x4 speeds up to 32 Gb/s alongside SATA3 module support — ideal for pairing a high-speed NVMe SSD with traditional drives. Connectivity is extensive: the rear panel delivers one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A and one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port (both at 10 Gb/s with ReDriver), two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 port, HDMI 1.4 output (4K @ 30 Hz for iGPU-equipped CPUs), an RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port powered by the Intel I219V controller, and HD Audio jacks. Internally, two USB 3.2 Gen1 headers support up to four additional front-panel ports. Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC1200 codec delivering 7.1-channel HD audio with PCB isolate shielding and individual PCB layers for left and right channels, complemented by Nahimic Audio software for an enhanced listening experience across headphones and speakers. Expansion options include two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, and one M.2 Key-E socket for a WiFi/BT module or Intel CNVi. AMD CrossFireX multi-GPU configurations are supported. RGB enthusiasts will appreciate two 12V RGB LED headers and two addressable (5V ARGB) LED headers, all manageable through ASRock Polychrome SYNC software.
