ASRock expands its Z390 motherboard line-up with a value-oriented Z390 offering – the ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4S. Compared to the Z390 Phantom Gaming 4, this motherboard lacks the USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port on its rear I/O and is two power phases less having an 8-power phase design. As for aesthetics, the ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4S sports the black and silver colour theme of the ASRock Phantom Gaming Series with a Sapphire Black PCB. It also packs the same Intel I219V Gigabit Ethernet LAN. It comes with an M.2 Socket Key E slot for 2230 WiFi/Bluetooth modules. Sporting the high-end Intel Z390 chipset, the Z390 Phantom Gaming 4S retains most of the premium features found in other Z390 motherboards such as support for high-performance DDR4 memory of up to 4300MHz+ in overclocked settings and up to 128GB of memory.
