Over the past couple of years ASRock has segmented their Phantom Gaming motherboard series. Previously we would just see “Phantom Gaming”, but now we have the Nova and Riptide series within Phantom Gaming. Nova sits ahead of Riptide, but you’ll still find Riptide boards feature-packed! Today we are taking a look at the ASRock Phantom Gaming X870 Riptide WiFi which features a 14+2+1 power phase design, PCI-Express 5.0 on both your top graphics card and M.2 slots, support for memory up to 8000 MHz, 2.5G LAN, WiFi 7, and much more! Read on as we take a look!
Special thanks to ASRock for providing us with the Phantom Gaming X870 Riptide WiFi Motherboard to review.
