Review: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX/TB3 (+ABB/ ABBA testing)

ASRock is back with one of the hippest X570 motherboards I have seen to date, it is the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX-TB3 and as you can guess from its name, this puppy offers an ITX form factor, you house some of the best features of X570. Also, it is one of the faster motherboards for your Ryzen Generation 3 processor while offering PCIe Gen 4.0 and AX Wifi.

Read the review right here.

While it's no shock to anyone, performance difference between the 2 bios versions is pretty much within reason of each other. Basically people making a big deal about performance woes on the platform, blowing it out of proportion as usual.


My main experience is that it it kicks up the fan speed much easier to give more cooling headroom.

Although I totally agree people are more upset about the situation than they should be, the 3900X is what really struggled to keep up with clock speeds. To my recollection, a well-cooled 3700X didn't lose more than 100MHz, which isn't really noteworthy. Also worth pointing out that although most CPUs now will reach their advertised boost speeds, they won't sustain it for very long. So, aside from the fact that ~100MHz isn't enough to make a big difference, getting that extra speed for a brief moment isn't going to be all that measurable either.

Right, maybe benchmarks it would show a difference but real world performance most likely nothing anyone is going to notice.

Definitely. Besides, the main reason you get a CPU like this is the number of cores/threads. If you really care that much about single-thread clock speed (which is what these CPUs struggle with the most) then go for a Kaby Lake i5.

I haven't really had anything but good experiences with ASRock and have used them exclusively for my last couple of builds. They've been pretty quick with getting the bios updates out too which is nice. They're my go to for MOBO's these days.
