Third-party reviews

What customers like about ASRock X570 PG Velocita

  • Robust 14-phase power delivery (VRM) capable of handling high-end CPUs like the Ryzen 9 5950X with ease
  • Extensive storage options including 8 SATA ports and dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots
  • High-speed networking features with 2.5GbE Killer LAN and Wi-Fi 6 AX1650
  • User-friendly BIOS with helpful physical buttons on the PCB (Power, Reset, Clear CMOS) and a POST code display
  • Solid build quality featuring reinforced PCIe slots for heavy modern GPUs
  • Good overall value/performance ratio compared to more expensive X570 flagship alternatives

What customers don't like about ASRock X570 PG Velocita

  • The chipset fan can be very loud at default settings, though it is adjustable in the BIOS
  • The proprietary 'Phantom Gaming Tuning' software is often reported as buggy or inaccurate regarding temperature readings
  • Killer Networking hardware can be polarizing, with some users reporting driver issues or reliability concerns
  • Limited USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) support compared to newer refresh boards
  • The prominent red and silver 'Phantom Gaming' aesthetic may not suit all build themes
  • Some users reported difficulty getting XMP memory profiles to work automatically without manual BIOS tweaking

Verdict

The ASRock X570 PG Velocita is a high-performance ATX motherboard built for AMD AM4 processors, featuring a robust 14-phase Digi Power design with 50A Dr.MOS and 60A power chokes for stable overclocking. It is equipped with premium connectivity including Killer E3100 2.5G LAN and Killer AX1650 Wi-Fi 6 for optimized gaming networking, alongside eight SATA3 ports, two Hyper M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots with full-coverage heatsinks, and support for DDR4 memory speeds exceeding 5000MHz (OC). Main pros include its exceptional VRM thermal management, a generous array of storage options, and the inclusion of convenient onboard power/reset buttons and a BIOS Flashback feature. However, potential cons include the lack of a third M.2 slot found on some competitors, the absence of USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) support, and a chipset fan that may be audible during initial boot.
