Maximum features at the best price
Motherboards from ASRock are distinguished by high functionality and affordable pricing, which makes them gain great popularity. Moreover, this rule applies to both inexpensive motherboards for office computers and expensive overclocker motherboards.
Successor of Fatal1ty
The new line of Phantom Gaming, which replaced Fatal1ty, looks doubly interesting, because ASRock heard the buyers and fixed most of the jambs. In the case of Phantom Gaming 6, we have a good processor power subsystem (12 phases, cooling with two radiators), an extremely simplified overclocking process, a functional and understandable BIOS settings menu, high-quality sound based on the ALC1220 codec (there is support for Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 5) and overall high quality workmanship. Separately, enthusiasts will be pleased with the buttons and the POST code indicator on the printed circuit board, which simplify overclocking with an open stand.
Perfect motherboard
In addition, we have a rich and interesting set of connections from a pair of reinforced PCI-E 16x, four slots for RAM, a 2.5 Gbps LAN controller, USB 3.1 Gen2, USB-C and a pair of M.2 slots with cooling radiators. Moreover, one of the slots operates in Ultra mode — it is connected directly to the PCI Express 3.0 root complex and allows you to transfer data at a speed of 32 Gbps, which is 3-6 times higher than the capabilities of a standard M.2.
Against the backdrop of all this wealth, the Phantom Gaming 6 has no obvious weaknesses. Minor shortcomings can only be attributed to the implementation of RGB lighting, which lacks variety and effects.
