Overview
The ASRock Z690 Phantom Gaming Riptide is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the Intel Z690 chipset, designed for 12th Generation Intel Core, Pentium, and Celeron processors installed in the LGA1700 socket. It targets gaming enthusiasts who want access to the PCIe 5.0 interface and a comprehensive storage ecosystem without stepping up to a premium flagship price tier. At the heart of its power delivery sits a 13-phase Dr.MOS design rated at 55 A per phase, paired with premium 60 A power chokes and a 2 oz copper PCB to keep temperatures in check under sustained loads. The motherboard accepts up to four DDR4 DIMMs across two channels, supporting a native speed of DDR4 3200 and overclocked profiles up to DDR4 4800, with a maximum installed capacity of 128 GB. Expansion options are generous. The primary x16 slot runs PCIe 5.0 at full x16 bandwidth, while the secondary x16 slot operates at PCIe 4.0 x4. Three PCIe 3.0 x1 slots round out the layout. Storage connectivity is equally well equipped: two Hyper M.2 sockets (M2_1 and M2_2) run PCIe Gen4 x4 at up to 64 Gb/s, a third Ultra M.2 socket (M2_3) supports both PCIe Gen3 x4 and SATA3, and eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports provide legacy drive support. SATA RAID modes 0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported natively. Networking is handled by a Killer E3100 controller delivering 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps), and a Key-E M.2 slot accommodates an optional WiFi 6E module or Intel CNVi card. Audio comes from a Realtek ALC897 codec with 7.1-channel HD output enhanced by Nahimic Audio software. The rear panel includes one USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C (20 Gb/s), two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A (10 Gb/s), two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, two USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI output, optical S/PDIF out, and a BIOS Flashback button. Front-panel connectivity adds a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C header plus four USB 3.2 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 ports. Polychrome RGB sync is supported via one RGB header and three addressable RGB headers. An ASRock Graphics Card Holder is included in the box alongside two SATA data cables, M.2 screws, I/O shield, and a Quick Installation Guide.
