amazon ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 reviews

Overview

The recently launched Phantom Gaming series is an exciting development from ASRock. Not only is it exciting, but it is also a revolutionary change. To replace the Fatal1ty series, let’s learn about those changes through the ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 mainboard – the newest member of its famous mainboard family.

Design

According to Asrock, this mainboard is ranked in the segment below Phantom Gaming 9 and Taichi. From there, the price of this mainboard will be lower, but the design language and functions will remain the same. So, if you are not too fastidious, it will be difficult to tell the difference by your senses.

Expand and Store

ASRock equips this motherboard with a cool and beautiful chipset heatsink. In addition, we also have 2 power + reset buttons on the main, which is quite convenient. 3 armored PCI-e slots with x16, x8, x4 communication respectively.

In terms of storage capacity, the Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 has 8 regular SATA ports and 2 M.2 slots for installing NVMe or SATA SSDs. 4 RAM slots allow up to 64GB to be plugged in, supporting a maximum clock speed of up to DDR4-4266 when overclocked.

Plug in the fan and VRM

ASRock also equips this product with 14 VRM phases in a 12+2 design and two power supplies (one 8-pin and one 4-pin). That is more than enough for OCers to show off their capabilities, even with the i9-9900K. Unlike the Z390 Phantom Gaming 9 which has eight fan pins, the Phantom Gaming 6 is reduced to just four. Fortunately, the error LED is still present on the Z390 Phantom Gaming 6.

Rear connection

Speaking of connectivity, the Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 will have 2 LAN ports (controlled by Gigabit Intel I211AT and Realtek RTL8125AG). Unlike Phantom Gaming 9, Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 no longer supports Wi-Fi and has some USB 3.1 Gen2 ports missing. The Realtek ALC1220 HD audio codec includes 5 3.5mm audio jacks, and a single optical S/PDIF output. Finally, there are three basic video outputs HDMI, D-sub, and DisplayPort.

Epilogue

In short, ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 is a shortened version of Z390 Phantom Gaming 9, with the circuit board almost the same, with only slight changes in the components.
