AsRock Z390 ITX motherboard

[jtomasrl]

I was looking at this 2 boards, one claim as the best ITX mb and the other, well, beeing a simpler version of it.

 

AsRock Z390M-ITX/ac

 

AsRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac

 

I wont be using the M.2 slot, neither the thunderbolt connector, the phantom does have an extra VRM power phase. Does it worth the nearly $60 difference?

 

I will be gaming, I will be using loads of CPU/GPU usage and I will be soft overclocking a 9700k. The power supply will be a Corsair SF 600.

If you do indeed want to overclock, then the Z390 Phantom. It's actually pretty good little board, very solid even more considering you will use the new gen intel 9K CPU that is pretty power hungry and it might even throtle if the VRMs reach a certain laod or temperature.

 

Play it safe...
