The small ITX motherboard comes to us in a stylish black box. This is decorated with the Phantom Gaming logo as well as some features that the motherboard offers, including DDR5 & PCIe5 support.

On the back, however, we find a lot of information about the motherboard. Here it is clear that ASRock has not skimped on features despite the small size. As usual, we find the image of the board at the top left.

In addition to the motherboard, there are also plenty of accessories to discover. ASRock includes an M.2 mounting screw, fabric cable ties, SATA connection cables, a high-quality WiFi antenna and an ASRock Phantom Gaming metal plate with the Z790I Lightning WiFi.

Of course, a quick start guide and safety instructions are also included. If you would like more information, you can also easily scan the 3D barcode with your smartphone.
