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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great for what it is

Budget entry into PCIe 4.0, Ryzen 5000, and pretty decent UEFI options. I upgraded to this from an MSI x370 that was no longer supported. I bought it specifically to support Ryzen 5000, but I'm still using Ryzen 5 3600X. This board has AMD overclocking options that allow you to set AMD Precision Boost Overdrive options, and after adjusting them I was able to get my 3600x within 10 percent of the standard 5600x. After that, I really didn't want to step in for a $300 CPU upgrade that I don't need yet. The Con Argb header doesn't work.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Something different
