ASRock Phantom Gaming X870 Nova WiFi AM5 Motherboard

The ASRock Phantom Gaming X870 Nova WiFi delivers exceptional performance for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors. Built on the AMD X870 chipset with ATX form factor, this motherboard combines cutting-edge connectivity with robust power delivery for enthusiast gaming and productivity builds.

Advanced Power Delivery and Stability

Featuring an 18+2+1 power phase design with 80A Smart Power Stage technology, the X870 Nova WiFi ensures smooth, stable power delivery to your CPU. Exclusive 20K capacitors with 1000uF capacitance provide extended lifespan up to 20,000 hours while reducing ripple and maintaining stable output current. Hi-Density Power Connectors withstand higher currents during heavy overclocking, delivering enhanced system stability and reliability.

DDR5 Memory and Storage Performance

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB of memory with speeds reaching 8400+ MHz through XMP and EXPO profiles. Server-grade low-loss PCB construction ensures optimal signal integrity for both memory overclocking and PCIe 5.0 performance. The motherboard includes five M.2 slots: two PCIe Gen5 x4 sockets (128 Gb/s), two PCIe Gen4 x4 Hyper M.2 sockets (64 Gb/s), and one PCIe Gen3 x2 socket with SATA3 support, plus two SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors.

Next-Generation Connectivity

Dual USB4 Type-C ports deliver blazing 40 Gbps data transfer rates with support for HDCP 2.3 and 8K 30Hz display output. The integrated WiFi 7 (802.11be) module provides extreme wireless speeds with Multi-link Operation technology, supporting 2.4GHz/5GHz/6GHz frequency bands and 160MHz channel bandwidth. Optimized 5 Gb/s LAN with Realtek RTL8126 controller features superior electromagnetic interference resistance for stable high-speed networking.

Enhanced Graphics and Audio

PCIe 5.0 x16 slot supports the latest graphics cards, while integrated AMD RDNA graphics output through HDMI 2.1 (4K 120Hz) and USB4 ports. Nahimic Audio powered by Realtek ALC4082 codec delivers 7.1 CH HD audio with individual PCB layers for left and right channels, ensuring crystal-clear sound with static noise suppression and echo cancellation.

Intelligent Thermal Management

Optimized aluminum heatsinks efficiently dissipate heat from VRM and M.2 drives during intensive workloads. Seven fan headers with smart fan speed control, including dedicated CPU, chassis, AIO pump, and water pump connectors, provide comprehensive cooling management. The 8-layer 2oz copper PCB construction enhances thermal performance and signal integrity.

Premium Features for Enthusiasts

Lightning Gaming Ports reduce jitter and latency for competitive gaming peripherals. Ultra USB Power transforms 5V from the 12V rail for stable power delivery and reduced noise. Front panel USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C header supports up to 20 Gbps transfer speeds. BIOS Flashback button enables easy firmware updates, while Dr. Debug LED and onboard power/reset buttons simplify troubleshooting. Polychrome RGB headers and Signal RGB support allow extensive lighting customization across compatible devices.
