Pros: - Graphics Card Holder - 2.5G LAN port - Hyper M.2 - Front and rear USB 3.2 Gen2 - Did I mentioned the Graphics Card Holder?
Overall Review: My first Velocita, really liking the design for the phantom gaming series in general. The build quality is great, as expected from the ASRock brand. Having a 2.5G LAN port for the first time, VERY noticeable when accessing my NAS. Personally, I dont feel any difference with the Lightning Gaming Ports myself for the mouse and keyboard, but hey its there. Also, this Graphics Card Holder needs to be standard on every MB, its very simple and it just works. I dont know why no one came up with this design until now, but I am not getting another board without this. Anyways, you just cant go wrong with ASRock boards.
