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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Careful. Motherboards

The board worked fine for 1 week. Mine didn't work with the XMP profile, it caused constant BSODs and desktop crashes while gaming, and sometimes YouTube videos froze. Tried everything, including all currently available Bios versions. I've also used it to work from home with TeamViewer and such. In such situations he did not hang. It can run for hours without a hitch. 2 weeks of troubleshooting and suggestions from Asrock and nothing helped. Get another board and see if it works. **UPDATE: I have decided to purchase the MSI B550 Tomahawk before initiating an RMA to see if the issues persist. They have. Conclusion: My Ryzen 3 3300X is to blame. I have already submitted an RMA request for this. For reference, my specs are Corsair 3200MHz 8GB x 2 and OLOy 3200MHz 8GB x 2 (I bought OLOy because at first I thought my RAM was the problem. Ryzen 3300x Corsair CX450 Zotac 1650 Super-NVME WD 550 Blue 500 GB
