Finished Looks

The ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 7 is a fantastic-looking board with a very modern aesthetic. ASRock has put in a lot of work into the Phantom Gaming line since launch, and it really shows.


The ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 7 really starts to shine once the RGB LEDs are factored in. Like pretty much all ASRock designs, the RGB LEDs are integrated well enough to where they are not prominent when turned off. If you don't like LEDs on your hardware, they can be disabled. You won't even need to download any software as ASRock has included basic controls in the BIOS.

If you are like me, though, a well implemented lighting system can really bring a build together. The ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 7 has two RGB zones, one on the I/O shield and another on the chipset, as well as two RGB LED headers and an addressable RGB header. The zones are tactful and well synced, with excellent diffusion to avoid any bright spots.
