Review on ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4: Supporting 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen and Future AMD Ryzen Processors by John Collins

After installation, it sings. When combined with a Ryzen 5 3600 fan and heatsink, fully tightening the mounting screws with light pressure will short out the processor and fail POST. Although the damage is not permanent, it will result in the loss of many hours of troubleshooting. Also, the embedded video will not become active until you install the driver CD. This means that even if you don't start with the graphics card installed, you will fail POST. More time is spent fixing two issues that could have easily been avoided had they been addressed in the technical manual.
