Phantom Gaming's X870 all-rounder — heavy power delivery, four M.2 slots and USB4, without flagship pricing
Quick Specs
- AMD X870 chipset on the AM5 socket for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 Series processors
- ATX form factor with four DDR5 DIMM slots and EXPO support
- PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot plus PCIe 5.0 M.2 storage
- USB4 Type-C rear connectivity as standard on X870
- WiFi 7 with Bluetooth and 2.5 Gigabit wired LAN
The enthusiast build that still has to make sense
Riptide sits in the sweet spot of ASRock's Phantom Gaming range: a substantially over-built VRM with proper heatsinking, generous M.2 provisioning and modern I/O, aimed at someone dropping in a Ryzen 7 9800X3D or a Ryzen 9 and expecting it to hold clocks under a long session. The four DIMM slots leave room to double your memory later, and the storage layout means you can add drives over the years without pulling the graphics card. If you are building a rig meant to last through two more CPU generations on AM5, this is the class of board that supports that plan.
Honest limits
Riptide is not a Taichi. The audio implementation, the heatsink mass and the aesthetic finish are all a step down from ASRock's halo boards, and there is no post-code display or on-board power button on most configurations. It is X870 rather than X870E, so total PCIe lane count is lower and you should not plan on multiple full-bandwidth expansion cards. Enabling every M.2 slot will share bandwidth with some SATA ports — check the manual before you populate everything. If you need maximum lanes, 10G networking or record-setting memory clocks, spend more.
FEATURES:
- Reinforced power delivery with large heatsinks for high-core-count Ryzen 9 processors
- PCIe 5.0 graphics slot and PCIe 5.0 M.2 for the newest SSDs
- Multiple M.2 slots with tool-free heatsink mounting
- WiFi 7 and Bluetooth on board plus 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
- Polychrome RGB lighting control and comprehensive fan tuning in the ASRock BIOS

Questions
Before you buy
Which processors fit this board?
It takes AM5 processors on the X870 chipset. Socket and chipset together decide what will run: the socket has to match physically, and the chipset decides which generations on that socket are supported. For a chip released after the board, check the manufacturer’s CPU support list to see whether a BIOS update is needed first.
Which cases will this board fit?
It is ATX. A case supports its own size and anything smaller - an ATX case takes ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX boards, a Micro-ATX case takes Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX. Each case we sell lists the board sizes it accepts under Specifications.
What memory does it take?
DDR5 across 4 slots, up to 256GB in total. DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable - the notch in the module is in a different place, so the wrong type will not seat. Buy the memory as a matched kit rather than as single sticks wherever you can.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
