Today we are looking at the ASRock Rack X570D4I-2T. This board is somewhat of an X570-based successor to the X470D4U and X470D4U2-2T that we previously covered, though the shift to a mini-ITX form factor throws a curveball into that comparison. Similar to the X470 boards before it, ASRock Rack is making a case for Ryzen as a server processor, boasting higher core counts than Intel’s low-end Xeon chips and the unofficial ECC memory support baked into the desktop Ryzen processors.

Well, the ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ax is the only ITX motherboard that I’ve seen that features two M.2 slots for SSDs. One Hyper M.2 (PCIE 4.0/Gen4) and the other, Ultra M.2 (PCIE 3.0/Gen3). Most mini-ITX motherboards that I’ve come across only come with one M.2 slot.

ASRock’s “Extreme” line of motherboards have always been solid and quite affordable as well. They give users everything that they would want in their respective chipset, but lack some of the higher-end features you might see in a Taichi or Phantom Gaming board. Today we are taking a look at ASRock’s Z490 Extreme4 which features an 11 phase Dr.MOS power design, dual Ultra M.2 slots, support for 4266 MHz memory, 2.5G LAN, USB 3.2 gen 2, and some pretty awesome RGB lighting.

Thus the ASRock H470 Steel Legend mainboard is not a reasonable choice for overclockers due to the Intel H470 chipset, but it has a powerful VRM power supply to get the maximum performance out of a 10th Gen CPU without unlocked multiplier with the tricky BFB feature. In addition, the stylish ASRock H470 Steel Legend motherboard has an extensive basic equipment and scores clearly with numerous USB ports up to the fast USB 3.2 Gen2 as well as a performant 2.5 Gigabit LAN port.
It’s a member of ASRock’s premium Taichi range, and therefore built like the proverbial ceramic outbuilding catering specifically for bowel movements. That includes large slabs of metal topside for everything from the M.2 heat spreaders to the VRM cooling. Several of those components are held down by hex screws, for which ASRock provides a handy driver. And that only adds to the sense of a board built to sustain a bomb blast.

Well, let’s find out.
