ASRock je za devetu generaciju Intelovih Core procesora predstavio potpuno novu seriju matičnih ploča za gamere nazvanih Phantom Gaming. Odbacili su konačno staro Fatal1ty imenovanje, redizajnirali ploče i dodali im nove mogućnosti. Najznačajnija novotarija na Phantom Gaming 9 ploči je Relatekov LAN kontroler sposoban za brtzine so 2.5Gbps, uz dva gigabitna Intelova LAN kontrolera – da, ploča ima tri LAN porta. Uz njih, tu je i AC WiFi Wave 2 sposoban za brzine spajanja do 1.73 Gbps. Uz dobru mrežu idu i ostale dobre karakteristike koje čine jednu pravu gamersku ploču.

Phantom Gaming 9 dolazi u ekskluzivnom vertikalnom pakiranju s ručkom na vrhu i otklopnom prednjom stranicom. Na kutiji se nalaze sve bitne informacije, a ispod otklopne stranice je moguće vidjeti ploču i saznati dodatne informacije o njoj. Bundle nije ekstremno bogat, no solidan je. Sastoji se od:

  • Quick Installation Guide, Support CD, I/O Shield
  • 4 x SATA Data Cables
  • 1 x ASRock SLI_HB_Bridge_2S Card
  • 1 x ASRock WiFi 2.4/5 GHz Antenna
  • 3 x Screws for M.2 Sockets

Ako vam se ova ploča činu jako poznatom, to je zato što je vrlo slična ploči Z390 Taichi koju smo nedavno testirali. Boje su drugačije, kao i hladnjak na čipsetu, no komponente i njihov razmještaj su identični. Ok, ova ploča ima taj jedan 2.5G LAN port više, te još poneki sitniji element, no sve ostalo kada je oprema u pitanju je identično. Phantom Gaming 9 je okrenuta prema hardcore gamerima koji žele bržu mrežu, te velike I/O mogućnosti. Izgled je vrlo dobar što smo zaključiti i kod Taichi, a ovdje je kombinacija boja malo drugačija. Napravljen je odmak od crvenila Fatal1ty modela, no na mat crnom PCB-u uz sive šare, nađe se i pokoja crvena, kao i na PCH hladnjaku – čisto da se ne zaboravi. Sviđa nam se što se ploče više ne šarene kao nekada, a za one koji su toga željni tu je ionako sada RGB LED osvjetljenje kojega u tri zone ima i na ovoj ploči.

Layout je vrlo dobar. Sve je logično raspoređeno, a ovaj jedan M.2 socket tik ispod prvog PCIe x16 utora ne moramo baš koristiti – imamo još dva koji su na boljim pozicijama. Svi su konektori i headeri uz rubove, a ploča ima i dovoljno 4-pinskih konektora – osam. Hladnjaci na VRM jedinici su identično kao i na Taichi, spojeni su toplovodnom cijevi, a i zadovoljavajuće su učinkoviti. PCH hladnjak nije toliko učinkovit kao onaj na Taichi i malo se više zagrijava, no to nije kritično. I ovdje na zadnjem M.2 socketu imamo tanki aluminijski hladnjak s termalnom masom za SSD-e koji skida i 20-tak °C, što će puno značiti za produljenje životnog vijeka.

I ovdje imamo ponešto kontrolera s donje strane koji nisu stali gore – dva Nuvotonova i jedan ASMedijin su grupirani, a desno od pločice socketa je smješten Realtekov Dragon RTL8125AG 2.5 gigabitni LAN kontroler.

Taj kontroler i čini ovu ploču posebnijom u odnosu na Taichi jer igračima omogućava više TCP+UDP bandwitdha, niže latencije i ostale optimizacije putem Phantom Gaming LAN softvera. On omogućava automatsko podešavanje bandwidtha, praćenje statistike mrežnog prometa, optimizirane pretpodešene opcije za igranje, surfanje i streaming, te ručno podešavanje i kontrolu nad prioritetima prometa.
