Review · Budget X570 board

The ASRock X570 Pro4 suits Ryzen 5 and 7 builds on a budget, but weak power parts and few clear advantages over rivals make it hard to pick.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about ASRock X570 Pro4

  • One of the most affordable X570 chipset options available
  • Excellent storage connectivity with eight SATA3 ports and dual Hyper M.2 slots
  • Supports PCIe 4.0 for high-speed SSDs and modern graphics cards
  • Minimalist silver-and-black aesthetic that appeals to non-RGB focused builds
  • Features a dedicated M.2 slot for WiFi module expansion
  • Reliable stability and performance when paired with Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series CPUs
  • Responsive and intuitive UEFI BIOS layout

What customers don't like about ASRock X570 Pro4

  • The active chipset fan can be loud or produce a high-pitched whine
  • VRM design is basic and may struggle with heavy overclocking on high-core count CPUs (e.g., Ryzen 9)
  • Lacks integrated WiFi/Bluetooth out of the box (requires separate purchase)
  • ASRock Polychrome RGB software is often reported as buggy or difficult to use
  • The rear I/O shield is not integrated, which can make installation slightly more tedious
  • Southbridge/chipset can run hot, sometimes reaching 50-60°C under load
  • No support for NVIDIA SLI (only AMD CrossFire is supported)

Verdict

The ASRock X570 Pro4 is a budget-oriented ATX motherboard designed for the AMD AM4 socket, featuring the X570 chipset and a 10-power phase design for stable power delivery. Key specifications include dual PCIe 4.0 x16 slots, two Hyper M.2 slots (Gen4 x4) with a full-coverage heatsink, and eight SATA3 ports, making it a strong choice for high-speed storage configurations. Main pros include support for up to 128GB of DDR4 memory at 4066+ MHz (OC), a dedicated M.2 Key E slot for WiFi, and modern connectivity with USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A and Type-C ports. However, some cons include a potentially noisy 40mm chipset fan that can emit a high-pitched whine at high RPMs, a lack of an internal USB 3.2 Gen2 header for front-panel Type-C support, and a basic audio configuration that lacks an optical SPDIF output.
