Motherboard ASRock's Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac - A New Direction

@MPP Idle, 16 celcius delta over ambient
Load - (just general gaming) - 18c over ambient
Torture - Prime95 Blend - 19c over ambient

Using HWMonitor, board in a S4M with a Pentium G5400 (saving for the new i3-K series) and a RX570 GPU.

Yes I tried the C14 with this board, and everything fits.

I ended up buying and fitting it together. It fits, but there's slight contact between the heatpipes and the VRM heatsink. Basically, it'll scuff away the nickel coating.

I put some electrical tape on the VRM heatsink and around the heatpipes where it makes contact to act as padding to prevent this.

I took a chance and upgraded to the newer 4.0 bios - now having issues with sleep. Seems to wake after an hour or two - but after longer periods (two or three hours) it will not wake up. Has anyone seen this issue after moving to bios 4? Unfortunately, you can't go back a version.

First sighted on ASRock's limited availability (unfortunately) GPU line, the Phantom Gaming brand has come to motherboards - slowly taking over the performance space within ASRock's lineup. This particular model uses the Intel Z390 chipset - what Z370 should have been, but I digress.

Do you have the ability to test either 4k netflix or UHD blu ray playback on this motherboard?

Thanks,

@ncohafmuta Nope, no 4k display, nor any physical media or drives

roger. worth a shot. it probably does work given its specs and predecessors, but don't like to assume.

Hi there,

It's been quite while since the last post in this thread but I would like a little help about this board...

I'm looking for this motherboard around all Europe and I can't find it anywhere.

Do you know why?

Do you know were I can find one around Europe?

Many thanks.

Pretty much unavailable in the US too, not sure why.

I sent an email to Asrock Europe but they didn't respond.

I don't know but could be related to the Covid situation...

Sorry for bumping this topic again, but did you ever hear back from Asrock?
Did you find a different solution?

Although covid is a very likely explanation, could the socket 1151 have been superceded by 1200?
Any thoughts on this?

I am trying to configure a Z390 Hackintosh system myself and am having trouble getting my hands on this board (or the Asus ROG Strix) in The Netherlands.

No, I didn't get any response to my email. Sorry.

is this board compatible with the Noctua C14? The Asus Z370 barely fit - the heatpipes made contact with the VRM heatsink and I had to use electrical tape to prevent it from scuffing.
