ASRock Motherboard (Z390M PRO4)

Status: ASRock Motherboard: Unavailable on Amazon as of . SpecPicks has no in-stock listing with matching specs on file; the search below lists current offers. eBay sellers may still list this model new or used.

Bottom line: The ASRock Motherboard: Runs both 9th and 8th Gen Intel Core CPUs on LGA1151 via the Z390 chipset; main trade-off: second x16 slot drops to x4 bandwidth, so dual-GPU scaling is uneven.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Runs both 9th and 8th Gen Intel Core CPUs on LGA1151 via the Z390 chipset
  • ✓ Four DDR4 DIMM slots, dual channel, up to 64GB - rare on a microATX board
  • ✓ Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots support AMD Quad CrossFireX dual-GPU setups
  • ✓ Onboard M.2 plus SATA3 and USB 3.1 covers modern NVMe and fast peripherals

Cons

  • ✗ Second x16 slot drops to x4 bandwidth, so dual-GPU scaling is uneven
  • ✗ Z390 and LGA1151 are end-of-line - no upgrade path past 9th Gen Intel
  • ✗ 64GB memory ceiling is limiting for heavy VM or large-model workloads
  • ✗ MicroATX layout means fewer expansion slots than a full ATX Z390 board

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored ASRock Motherboard using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the motherboards category. ASRock's motherboards lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for motherboards of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
