ASRock announced a number of X570 motherboards for the AMD Ryzen 3000 series of processors during Computex 2019. One of the most high-end options from its range is the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming X which has dual LAN including a 2.5 G port, Wi-Fi 6, triple M.2, and support for DDR4-4666 memory.
The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming X is a red, silver, and black themed premium gaming-focused model with some notable inclusions common to the Phantom Gaming branding. The most notable inclusion is the Realtek RTL8125AG 2.5 G LAN which is aimed at arming gamers with networking options. The board also includes a secondary Intel Gigabit port for dual LAN. Also featured is an 802.11ax Wi-Fi wireless interface, a Realtek ALC1220 HD audio codec, with three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, eight SATA ports, and an HDMI output.
In between the three full-length PCie 4.0 slots is two PCIe 4.0 x1 slots, with support for up to three-way AMD CrossFire, and two-way NVIDIA SLI multi-graphics card configurations. Memory support is also much improved for Ryzen 3000 with official support for up to DDR4-4666, with a total of four slots available for users. On the rear panel is a single USB 3.1 G2 Type-A, one USB 3.1 G2 Type-C, and six USB 3.1 G1 Type-A ports. The onboard audio is driven by the Realtek ALC1220 HD audio codec and offers uses five 3.5 mm audio jacks, a single S/PDIF optical output, with software support for Creative's Sound Blaster Cinema 5 software. ASRock's X570 Phantom Gaming X is also geared for enthusiasts with a 14-phase power delivery which uses an 8-pin, and 4-pin pairing of 12 V ATX CPU power inputs. On the rear is a steel PCB brace which adds support to the PCB, as well as extra weight.
The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming X isn't as high-end as some of the other its new models such as the X570 Aqua, or X570 Creator, but gamers will find plenty of useful features to sink their teeth into. Pricing information is currently unknown, but the X570 Gaming X is set for launch on 7/7 alongside the Ryzen 3000 series processors.

Sorry, I've been living under a rock. I get it now. Usually when computer show spam starts hitting the AT news section, I start ignoring articles and missing things like the higher power demand and the fact that all of the Ryzen boards are packing chipset fans. Though I do think that there are some better design decisions that can be made here with respect to the chipset-fansplosion.Alexvrb - Wednesday, June 5, 2019 - link
Modern small fans will last for ages and are quieter, especially since these won't need to spin very fast. Even then, they're mostly only needed when you're loading the PCIe 4.0 lanes attached to the chipset and running RAID.Irata - Wednesday, June 5, 2019 - link
Don't you know the answer already by now ? I mean you have been posting this in plenty of other X570 related articles already...PeachNCream - Thursday, June 6, 2019 - link
Really? Which ones?duploxxx - Wednesday, June 5, 2019 - link
only HDMI output and no DP. what have they been smoking? Not everybody has a HDMI to DP converter or cable laying around...TheWereCat - Wednesday, June 5, 2019 - link
because HDMI is usable with more devices than DP without having to use the adapter
