ASRock X870E NOVA WIFI Phantom Gaming Motherboard

The ASRock X870E NOVA WIFI Phantom Gaming motherboard delivers professional-grade performance for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors. Built on the AMD X870E chipset with AM5 socket compatibility, this ATX motherboard features advanced power delivery and connectivity for demanding gaming and productivity workloads.

Advanced Power Delivery System

Equipped with a robust 20+2+1 power phase design utilizing Smart Power Stage (SPS) technology with 110A current handling. The exclusive 20K Black capacitors offer 1000uF capacitance and 20,000-hour lifespan. Hi-Density power connectors support extreme overclocking while the server-grade low loss PCB with 2oz copper construction ensures stable power delivery across all 8 layers.

DDR5 Memory Performance

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB of system memory with speeds reaching DDR5-8200+ through overclocking. Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles enable one-click memory optimization. Dual-channel architecture maximizes bandwidth for memory-intensive applications.

PCIe Gen5 and Storage Expansion

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot delivers 128GB/s bandwidth for next-generation graphics cards. Five M.2 sockets include one Blazing M.2 with PCIe Gen5 x4 support, three Hyper M.2 sockets with PCIe Gen4 x4, and one M.2 socket supporting both SATA3 and PCIe Gen3 x2. Four SATA3 ports provide additional storage connectivity with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support.

Connectivity and Networking

Two USB4 Type-C ports deliver 40Gb/s transfer speeds with 8K 30Hz display support. The rear I/O includes five USB 3.2 Gen2 ports (10Gb/s), three USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, and USB 2.0 connectivity. WiFi 7 (802.11be) with Multi-link Operation (MLO) supports 2.4GHz/5GHz/6GHz bands and Bluetooth 5.4. The Realtek RTL8126 controller provides 5 Gigabit Ethernet with optimized electromagnetic interference resistance.

Thermal Management

Aluminum heatsinks cover critical components including VRM and M.2 slots. Seven fan headers with 4-pin PWM control support CPU fans, chassis fans, AIO pumps, and water pumps. Three thermistor cable headers enable precise temperature monitoring across the system.

Audio and Display

Realtek ALC4082 codec delivers 7.1 channel HD audio with individual PCB layers for left and right channels. Nahimic Audio software enhances sound quality. Display outputs include one HDMI 2.1 port supporting 4K 120Hz with HDR and HDCP 2.3, plus dual USB4 ports with 8K 30Hz capability.

Build Quality and Features

The integrated I/O shield simplifies installation while the Graphics Card EZ Release mechanism enables tool-free GPU removal. Dr. Debug LED, power button, reset button, BIOS Flashback, and Clear CMOS functions are accessible from the rear panel. ASRock Polychrome SYNC RGB controls one RGB LED header and three addressable LED headers.
