ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming ITX/ax Motherboard - An ITX powerhouse!

[@DavidReyes0224]

I've had this board in my PC for about a year. It has served me extremely well so far, I would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to build a small form factor PC like I did!!

[@k.g.3567]

Which Ryzen Series do/did you use with it and IF it is/was a 5000 Series, did it work out of the box or did you have to flash the bios with an older Series?

[@DavidReyes0224]

@@k.g.3567 Hey! So I used a 3700x with it when I had it. At the time with the 3700x I didn't have to flash it or anything, I'd imagine that at this point they're shipping with BIOS for the 5000 series but I really couldn't say for sure

[@wolfgangchristl9978]

Asrock always did really good small form factor stuff. Their ITX mobos are great.

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Agreed 👍

is that rectangle on the back where the ssd goes?

[@kelvinangeloygar2014]

Hello!! May i know the height of the io heatsink?

A small board that packs a powerul punch 🙂

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Exactly that 💪

[@FluxStage]

Thanks! Good review!

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@FluxStage]

Love itx boards with two m.2 slots. Still think I'll keep my B450i Strix, just bought the 3950x and 2x32gm sticks so hopefully that will all play together nicely!

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Update bios, some boards have issues with 32GB per stick 👍 but newer bioses should fix this...

[@FluxStage]

@@LevelUPGamingTech thanks bud! It's exciting times!

5:32 HDD security configuration. If you enter this option for each disk, what do u have here? Does it has "hdd password" for nvme and sata disks? Do I understand well this motherboard supports two m.2 disks? Btw, really good review!

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

First thing, security boot options, for Windows secure boot. Not for a password. And yes it supports 2x NVME drives, one in the front and one on the back of the board. And thanks man 😉

[@f2lo2]

@@LevelUPGamingTech Pity it doesn't support hdd password. Do you know any motherboards providing such a feature?

[@Ernisx619]

will a graphics card fit

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Any GPU will, although the limiting factor is not the board, but the case that you plan to use, so choose wisely 👍

[@gabrielgranadosg]

Wow this was a really nice review from this itx mobo! Thanks for the review and good job! 😎👍 Also where is Forza Horizon 4? I don't see it on the game testing 😅🚗🏎 Thanks very much for sharing this video! 💖 *Greetings from Costa Rica!* 🌴

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Hahaha can't have Forza everytime 😜

[@gabrielgranadosg]

@@LevelUPGamingTech hahahah oki doki, cant wait to see forza horizon 5 in future vids 😉

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

That on the other hand is a must 😎

what is protection mode (red light) and what causes it.

[@maryclaireguillena7200]

what case did you use?

[@jimbrannan5825]

I have given up on Asrock. I have the Ryzen 7 5700G apu and I have been trying to get the QVL memory list from their site for weeks and it's a choice on there but all I get is a spinning wheel. I did put in a ticket and all I got back was a message to go ask AMD? They are off my list for motherboards and support.

[@ojaradat]

Hey man, Wanted to ask do you think its possible to fit an AIO with the Mother board, if so which one do you recommend?

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

I did use DeepCool Castle EX series, it fits without problems... New LS series will fit as well 👍

[@ojaradat]

@@LevelUPGamingTech would it be worth it to put it on a Ryzen 5 5600X?

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

@@ojaradat 240 or 280 version depending on the case you have and yes it would cool it nicely 😉

[@AMIRACLEISME]

Is there a bios button, or will it work with a 5600x out of the box?

[@BassManStrikes]

No bios button but should work with a 5600x. I have one on the way for a 5700x and will let you know.

[@BassManStrikes]

Worked with a 5700x, I got mine from Amazon and it had bios version 2.30 already flashed. No problem. This is a good board wayyy better than the GIGABYTE Aorus. The gigabyte has bluetooth issues and it won't sleep without messing with disabling a nvme bridge in Linux.

[@BuzzaB77]

Whats that cooler please? is it passive?

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Noctua NH-L12 Ghost Edition it's active cooler, slim 12cm fan under there

[@rallyscoot]

What case is used?

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

LianLi Q58

[@BassManStrikes]

I originally got a GIGABYTE Aorus and that board is NOT good...for 1 the cpu is offset to one side and limits cooler choices and it wont sleep wothout os hacks in linux and ot has a crappy realtek bluetooth/wifi module. The Asrock board is sooooo much better overall.

[@dustingomez7590]

No pump header? Fail

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

The one PWM fan header on the upper side right next to the ram slots, labeled CPU_FAN2/WP 😉 Edit: And another one left from the PCIE slot 👍 Labeled CHA_FAN1/WP
