Finished Looks

I want to give a special thanks to EVGA for providing an RTX 2080 FTW3 Ultra to replace my old GTX 980; it was a much needed upgrade. In addition to the new hardware and the new bench, I have changed up the cooling, going with a larger loop. The Eisbaer performed well, but the ever-increasing heat density of mainstream CPUs was pushing it to the limit.


The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX is as sharp and modern-looking as it is tiny. ASRock has put a lot of work into the Phantom Gaming line since launch, and it really shows. The motherboard looks and feels like a flagship board, and I think the ASRock design department has a lot to be proud of.

The ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX doesn't have as much RGB LED support as its bigger cousins. The innovative heatsink/rear I/O shield combo makes some compromises. Still, the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX/TB3 features an RGB LED zone below the bottom of the board as well as two RGB headers for expansion.
