ASRock Intros X399 Phantom Gaming 6 Motherboard for AMD Threadripper X

ASRock today launched the X399 Phantom Gaming 6, its latest addition to the popular Phantom Gaming series for AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors. Note that this board only supports up to 16-core Threadripper models, the 24-core and 32-core Threadripper WX series are not supported. The Phantom Gaming features premium components (power delivery is kept clean and stable with Digital PWM, 8 Power Phase & Dr. MOS)and a relatively subdued, black-gray-red design - and like most hardware these days, it's gamer-oriented and branded. 2.5 Gbps Ethernet is one of the key features as ASRock paints it, and there is a grand total of 3x Ultra M.2 connectors and a full-length 22110 (110 mm) slot with full-coverage heatsink.With the addition of all those M.2 slots, though, PCIe took a beating, with only 3x PCIe x16 slots present on this motherboard. All of these are reinforced (the RAM slots aren't) There's RGB lighting with ASRock's Polychrome SYNC solution, Creative-powered audio in the form of the Sound Blaster Cinema 5 (a Realtek ALC 1220 codec really) and 8x SATA 6 Gbps ports. The X399 Phantom Gaming 6 is VR ready, and features USB 3.1 Type-A and Type-C on the I/O connectors.For more information, visit the product page.
