So my complaints, first, this only has a single USB 2.0 port. I was able to work around it (I needed two) by purchasing a Corsair Commander Pro, but you may need to consider purchasing the NZXT Internal USB Hub depending on what you are attaching. The board does have multiple USB 3.0 slots, however, one is unusable due to its location as a large GPU will interfere with plugging anything into it. I am not sure why they decided to put it where they did, but luckily there is another one at the bottom of the board I was able to use for my cases built in USB 3.0 cable. I am using a rather large GPU (ASUS ROG 2080 Super), so maybe a smaller GPU wouldn't interfere. However, if you are using a GPU (of any size), it will cover one of the M.2 slots. This probably isn't a big deal though if you install there first, but if you ever want to add in another M.2 device in that particular slot, you will need to remove the GPU first and install. My biggest complaint with the board though is the drivers. One of the first things I did after installing Windows was updating all the drivers. However, when updating the PCI drivers, the board would no longer POST. I had to completely reinstall Windows. I didn't realize this is what it was the first time, so after installing the drivers a second time, I had to wipe the drive and start over a second time. This may be due to the BIOS version its running and perhaps if I flashed a new BIOS, the drivers would be fine, but for now, I decided to just keep the PCIe drivers as is for now because they work, but be cautious of the drivers you install.
If I were to buy another motherboard today, this would not be the one I would go with, but if you are looking for a cheaper board with a lot of nice features that works well out of the box, this may work for you.
Edit: After I installed the chipset drivers from AMD's website, the PCIe driver issue was resolved. I raised the rating 1 star, but still think I would go with another board if I were going to build another machine.
Cheers
If you STILL HAPPEN to need a AMD AM4 X570 motherboard go with the Steel Legend or one of the few MSI or Gigabyte Aorus X570s still available
Purchased a new Ryzen 5600G, reassembled everything and everything ran flawlessly afterwards. Windows 10 installed smoothly and I was up and running in 10 minutes.
Good board, no conflicts. Had I not insisted on reusing the old CPU, I would have been done in about 3 hours from installation to finalizing OS installation. Not considering troubleshooting time, the next item that took the most time was installing and wiring up the RGB case fans.
Two minor minor nits:
Rear IO plate is a little on the flimsy side and ever so slightly undersized. Since this isn't an "extreme" or one of ASRock's named motherboard lines, not surprising. Worst that can be said about it is "it's very generic but works".
The spacing of the connector block for the front buttons and LEDs just a bit cramped so they abbreviated the stenciling of the markings. Not a problem if you have the manual handy, but might cause a delay if/when you are troubleshooting it later on (ie. you have to go get the manual).
Neither of these warrant a star deduction.
As a note for installers - make sure you mount the CPU before you put the motherboard in the case - if you are using the AMD cooler solutions you will find that the mounting plate will drop out of position when installed in a case as you go to mount the fan. So CPU on MB first, then MB+CPU goes into the case. Every other fan solution I've seen the order you do this doesn't really matter.

My business builds machines for all applicable uses, from your general home user, to the gamer, to the scientific and big business, to those that want something tiny too and the few stock brokers out there. Mass deployment of many dozens if not hundreds of machines as well when/if such contracts are awarded. My standards are quite high so it's rare that I get the latter but when I do, I don't get callbacks ever.
My standards are usually pretty high and hard to meet. I don't build anything less than what i think will be required moving forward for at least hopefully 6-10 years. I prefer to ensure the machines i build will be suitable for up to and beyond 10 years potentially too with inexpensive upgrades if need be (within reason). Due to this I purchase several different branded boards and models within and thoroughly test them over a good period of time. After handling msi/asus/gigabyte and asrock's offerings the only boards that consistently passed with flying colours all around were to my surprise AsRock's when ryzen launched. Prior to that pretty much ever boards for intel for each generation, the crown was held by Asus most of the time, and frankly i still use asus for intel builds today. What puzzled me so much was that Asus scored the worst for each ryzen generation.
Either way, the AsRock boards have consistently performed the best out of the box, with the greatest level of stability and effortless setup. It's one of the few brands that is about as close as you can get to literal plug n play without leaving much performance or stability behind.
AsRock's x570 Phantom Gaming 4 is about the best bang for the buck, specially at today's $200 CAD value. I don't see any point of getting anything cheaper because anything that's decent isn't much cheaper and would be lacking in comparison. And getting anything better such as the taichi or some higher end model from any other company doesn't really include much more and are often gone unused by most people, not to mention that over-complicating a product like this with extensive increases in features invites greater chances or eventual failures that can easily result in the board failure that much easier. If you need wifi, it's much better to have a m.2 or pci-ex or usb adapter than to have the one that's physically integrated.
Currently all the AsRock x570 Phantom Gaming 4 boards have been shipped with P3.20 bios with UEFI mode enabled (CSM/Legacy bios mode disabled), so a word of warning to those with older graphics cards (Radeon HD6000 series from 2011 or older and nvidia's Geforce 600 series or older) without a Ryzen APU being installed, first startup is likely to result in receiving no display potentially unless you wait long enough for the board to reset to CSM mode (if it does). Clearing the cmos may not fix the problem since defaults seem to be with CSM disabled. This however is unlikely to be a problem, and frankly it's a welcome change since far too many people are setting up their new systems with legacy modes which have several caveats.
If you have a 3000 series CPU (excluding apu) or newer, the P3.90 enabled "semi passive" mode for the chipset fan which allows it to completely stop when it's not required. Since MOST people aren't likely to be heavily taxing the chipset, this fan for the most part doesn't need to be spinning endlessly for no reason. The 3rd m.2 slot (at the bottom of the board) utilizes the chipset, chances are with a high speed SSD installed running full tilt, will result in the fan kicking in occasionally.
An additional thing to consider is after market heatsink and clearance. Due to the primary 16x pci-ex slot being at the upper most position on the board, those with graphics cards with thick backplates and large aftermarket coolers may run into a clearance issues between the 2. While in the majority of cases i haven't seen any problems, it can be a little troublesome to press the pci-ex slot release with any huge cpu heatsink. The advantage of this boards layout however is that you can stick a VERY beefy 4 slot graphics card in this board without covering the 2nd 16x pci-ex slot which will allow you to install a 3 slot graphics card if you wished. Granted crossfire/sli is essentially dead, mGPU may still yet emerge down the road soon enough, or at the very least adding in a pci-ex 4x or 8x m.2 adapter for extra fast storage or some other pci-ex device won't at all interfere with the cooling or size of the graphics card above.
The board layout is most ideal for nearly any configuration in terms of attaching case fans or RGB, though the ARGB on this board is limited to a single connector at the bottom of the board (There are 2x RGB connectors located at the bottom and top right). Granted mostly not that important, but best to mention. The 24 pin and 4+4 12v pin connectors are in about as ideal a place as you can get for majority of cases and lengths of psu's cables.
Regarding memory and i've seen several people reporting in comments about plastic or something in the dimm slots causing problems. Nearly every motherboard from every company has a bit of debris floating around somewhat. I've seen asus boards with little bits of plastic lodged in the pci-ex slot and ram slots. I've seen what looks like paper stuck in the LGA pins and plastic/paper/something in the dimm slots. It happens and while not overly common, it's ALWAYS been common practice to have a can of compressed air on hand while assembling a computer to ensure things are clean and to carefully look over the board you have before jamming things into it. In the past i even had a older 478 pga socket that one of the pin holes wasn't completely formed properly (has a thin skin of plastic covering it still). Initially trying to install the pentium 4 cpu in obviously resulted in the cpu not going in and i having to carefully use a precision screwdriver to break the surface and try and peel that plastic out, otherwise wait another 2 weeks or more for a replacement board.
I will make ONE thing clear REGARDLESS of the board brand or chipset or generation of ryzen cpu. I high advise against picking up Corsair memory for any builds aside from intel. Corsair's memory often use pretty iffy memory ICs, and i've yet to have out of dozens of different corsair kits that i was assembling machines with for intel builds for years, for one to work in any ryzen system without some kind of problem either immediately or with some kind of odd intermittent bizarre behavoir. While memory tests will pass repeatedly with flying colours over extensive time frames (168 hours memory stress tests passing), problems would persist that seemed to point the finger at the gpu or cpu or perhaps a hardrive/ssd problem or even mainboard. No matter how many different systems i had built, none of the kits reliably worked and i only discovered that corsair was a problem about 3-5 months after ryzen launched that i eventually determine the problem. This issue has persisted through every generation of ryzen including the Ryzen 5000's. Some people would go a month without a hitch, some wouldn't make it a week, and some were getting sporadic crashing of some sort, could be just a crash to desktop in a game, or a black screen, or a bsod or a strange error on occasion randomly throughout their day. After replacing the modules with the likes of Crucial primarily, problem solved permanently. Those problem corsair memory modules however still work fine in any intel system. I cannot stress this situation enough of it's importance as it's the MOST overlooked and disregarded thing for so many system builders and enthusiasts. I've diagnosed copious numbers of systems that i haven't built myself for others and repeatedly solved many by getting them to migrate to a set of crucial or anything but corsair modules.
Lastly, I've now purchased, setup, and sold about 40-50 AsRock x570 Phantom Gaming 4 based systems since they first launched. I've had absolutely no DOA boards, every single board has booted on the first try, every board has had their memory set for XMP and succeeded (crucial mostly used) and i've nothing but ecstatically happy customers. I currently have 4 systems sitting on my build counter, some of which are already in their final stages of stress testing. Honestly i couldn't recommend this board enough for nearly any use case. And I will say the board runs very well with a 5900x as well (sadly haven't been able to get a 5950x yet).
