Installation
We installed the ASRock Phantom Gaming B850i Lightning WiFi motherboard on to our open-frame vertical chassis, and as you can see … it looks absolutely tiny!
To cool the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor, we used the Thermaltake 360 Ultra AIO cooler mounted with 3 x Corsair RX120 RGB cooling fans.
We also installed 48GB V-Color Manta XFinity RGB DDR5-8000, Crucial T700 1TB PCIE Gen5 SSD, and the GeForce RTX 4080 Super.
BIOS
There are two BIOS modes on the ASRock Phantom Gaming B850i Lightning WiFi WiFi motherboard … Easy Mode and Advanced Mode. The Easy Mode allows you to monitor all the system status on this page such as fan speeds, CPU temperatures, memory and processor speeds, as well as voltages.
Users can also configure other settings for CPU, chipset, storage and NVMe, as well as onboard devices such as USB, TPM, and more.In the Advanced Mode, there are a lot of options available for tweaking your processor, memory speeds and more. Voltages for memory and processor can also be adjusted here.
During our tests, we left everything on AUTO/Default. Since the motherboard was able to support both EXPO and XMPO memory modules, we decided to use 48GB V-Color Manta XFinity RGB DDR5-8000 at default XMP Profile 1. You can check out ASRock’s QVL/download page for more information.
