ASRock Motherboard (Z390 PHANTOM GAMING 4)

My RTX 3080 Super died on me, followed by my motherboard a few days later. Given my budget, I couldn't afford a completely new system while also replacing my GPU with an RTX 5070. This was the only motherboard I could find that supported my two NVMe drives.At first, I was hesitant because I had read that this board lacked overclocking options and that some users had issues getting it to work. I hoped those problems were due to user error. The board worked perfectly and offers a full suite of overclocking options, as shown in the photos. It even includes a setting for my water pump.My only complaint was its extremely sensitive fan control out of the box, which caused my radiator fan to behave erratically—revving up like a jet engine, then stopping, then starting again every other second. I resolved this pretty easy by adjusting the very powerful fan tuning software, but it took a couple attempts to get it quiet enough, though my fans are a bit loud and powerful, and this is a radiator, not a straight CPU fan.One thing to take note of, this doesn't have built-in wifi.If you, like me, have an LGA 1151 socket CPU you’re not ready to part with, this board is an excellent choice. I’d expect newer models to be just as reliable and packed with features. I have always been an Asus fan, though I'll admit that Asrock is winning me over.

Pathetic condition. This looks used and poorly repackaged. The manual is torn and shows signs of extreme humidity. The anti static bag was not taped. And above all, the plastic guard that protects the chip socket during shipping was not in place and the socket arrived damaged. Pretty appalling that this would even be shipped. Don't know if this is a problem with Amazon or ASRock and frankly I don't care, this is unacceptable and I'm going to go dress up llike an orca and sink a yacht about it

I've been running this motherboard in my PC for a few months and it can handle anything I've thrown at it. From photo editing to high speed gaming.

adequate for what most people need. Just enough extras for those who like to tinker.

The motherboard I received had issues out of the box.I think it is a problem with the VRM.I have a brand new i7-9700k and this motherboard is just about DOA.I have contacted the company that sent me this motherboard twice through amazon.I have NOT received a response in over a week!I will be returning this item.I will keep you updated on this ongoing issue.Beware

After building my computer I tried to install windows but it has an error and had to take it to a shop for troubleshooting and it ended up to be the motherboard for some reason not allowing to installAnd customer service telling me it’s not the problem after troubleshooting my whole rig smh

Stay away from rigs built with this mobo, it's the entry level of the line and it sucks. It's a horrible presentation of a z390 and really only geared towards people who don't know, or don't want, real options. The onboard controls are basic at best, and updating the firmware is a chore. For a hundred dollar board it's ok, but there are better options out there. This is the type of board you'll see in a spec'd out system sold online, and it's a way to cut costs. Go for the name brands.

The motherboard won't upgrade to the latest BIOS version. I contacted ASRock tech support twice for this issue, but I never received any respond back. This is my very first ASRock motherboard, and it will be my very last. I will go with ASUS, MSI, or Gigabyte for my next computer upgrade.
