firstly a big THANK YOU to MSI for making it possible for hardware box to attend Computex 2019 please check out their latest gaming and create a desktop range powered by Intel Core ninth gen processes via the link in the description also a thank you to Corsair for their support check out their new products again via links below welcome back to hardware box we're here at the azrog booth at Computex 2019 they've got of course their whole new range of AMD x5 70 motherboards so we're going to take a look at including what I believe is one of the only micro ATX x5 70 motherboards on show so that is very exciting we'll be checking that out as well as some concept VGA cards which look pretty likely that they're going to be used for some Navi GPUs so let's get to it alright let's take a look at all of these as rock x5 70 motherboards or at least the most interesting with the bunch unfortunately you guys looking on the asrock website right now will only see two X 570 boards the Taichi and the Phantom gaming X but asrock did have several others on show that will be released alongside rise in 3000 the top-end board and I'm kind of discounting the aqua here because that's an extreme enthusiast product is of course the x5 70 Taichi as expected 12 plus two-phase vrm on this board and the other top-end x5 70 boards and from what I understand that is using a doubler design with 50 amp dr. Moore's power stages although I don't have the controller specs PCIe 4.0 of course Wi-Fi 6 active cooling for the chipset so a bit of a redesign for the heat sinks and m dot 2 covers but it still looks ok and there's of course RGB action as well the x5 70 phantom gaming X is also a top end board that has the same VM design as the x5 70 tie tree and in fact has a nearly identical feature set aside from a few differences visually the one main addition to the phantom gammy X is as rocks two point five gigabit wide networking so I guess that makes it a higher-end board than the Taichi will be interesting to see how they're priced we know a lot of you guys are micro ATX fans so it's good to finally see an EM ATX board with X 570 at Computex as rocks X 570 m pro 4 is meteor in its specs with an 8 + 2 Fay's vrm design and a step down in component from the big boys still of course has active cooling for the chipset and an MDOT - heat spreader ddr4 4400 supports so one step down from ddr4 4666 that you get with the tight sheet and phantom gaming X of course it doesn't have as many features as the bigger boards which you might expect given the size but it should still be pretty capable for rise in 3,000 CPUs especially given it still has an eight phase-- vrm design although we'll have to see how that cooling stacks up another board that might interest you is the X 570 phantom gaming ITX TB 3 which steps down the vrm to a 6 + 2 phase design again not sure on the components used here the big inclusion here is Thunderbolt 3 this is the only X 570 board of this form factor we've seen that has Thunderbolt 3 support so that's really cool for those that want to make a super compact system with high speed device connectivity it also uses an Intel LGA mount for the cooler because the standard m4 mount is too large and prevents Azeroth from doing as much with the board's Mini ITX form factor as it can with this design the other asrock boards with Thunderbolt 3 are the X 570 creator and X 570 aqua the X 570 Creator is another high-end board although rather than targeting gamers it's targeting creators as the name suggests with features like two Thunderbolt 3 ports up to ddr4 4666 support and a quantity at 10 Gigabit LAN plus Wi-Fi 6 and an additional Intel Gigabit LAN it also includes 10 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports as well then for the Aqua we here this is a $1,000 motherboard so we'll be pretty niche and for specialist open-loop water cooling builds it's also a limited edition design so only 999 are being made but boy does it look awesome with a full water block coverage for the CPU vrm and the x5 70 chipset the vrm design again sounds the same as as rocks are the high-end design so a 12 plus 2 phase with 50 amp stages but unclear on the components once again and yet all the top-end connectivity features like you'd want from such an expensive board as rocker also bringing out several other X 570 boards that unfortunately I don't have a lot of details on we have the x5 70 phantom gaming 4 X 570 extreme 4 X 5 70 pro 4 and five seventy steel legend which I believer all the sorts of mid-range to entry-level X 570 motherboards that will fill out the rest of as rocks lineup I'd expect most of these will use either eight plus two or six plus two phase V RMS depending on the price point don't have pricing on these either although we did hear that because of the X 570 chipsets price X 570 boards in general won't be super cheap aside from the motherboards asrock will also showing off three VG a concept cards which will almost certainly become their designs for upcoming na'vi GPUs asrock only make AMD graphics cards and the vague line is finalized so it's not hard to see why they've made these new designs and where they'll be used two of the variants before the phantom gaming line and the other was a Taichi model all are pretty beefy occupying at least two and a half if not three slots and all come with three fans we're looking at plenty of RGB effects including illuminated fans logos and back plates depending on the model at hand so yeah pretty obvious these will be used for Navi GPUs given there are high-end cools designed for more powerful cars and I've worked with before asrock does sell Vega and Radeon seven models but all the simple reference designs while the rx 590 and below used their custom dual fan coolers these new designs look pretty good so hopefully there will be well suited to AMD's next generation products alright well that's it for the asrock booth at Computex 2019 hope you guys enjoyed the close-up look at some of the amvx 570 stuff that they've got on show here yeah hopefully Steve will be getting some of these products into review over you know over the next couple of months when all the rise in 3000 stuff next 570 comes out so I'll put that job on him to test all that vrm stuff like he loves to do as always you can subscribe for the rest of our Computex 2019 coverage give this video a like if you liked it subscribe to all that stuff I'll catch you in the next one
