ASRock has launched two new 700 series Mini ITX motherboards optimized to overclock Intel’s latest 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs. The two new boards are the Phantom Gaming Z790i Lightning WiFi and the B760I Lightning WiFi. Both feature robust power delivery systems, enough to support the i9-14900KS and memory overclocking support of up to 8600MHz. And the Z790i Lightning WiFi has already been used by master overclocker Splave to achieve multiple world records with Intel's Core i9-14900KS.
The Z790I Lightning WiFi is the higher-end variant of the two motherboards, featuring Intel’s flagship Z790 chipset. The board comes with all the goodies you would expect from an overclocking-tuned board, including a beefy 14+1+1 power phase design and Smart Power Stages. The board also sports a server-grade PCB design featuring an 8-layer PCB with 2-ounce copper inner layers — designed to stabilize ultra-high memory frequencies. Due to the compact nature of Mini-ITX, ASRock has turned the rear I/O cover into a VRM heatsink and connected it to the top heatsink with a heatpipe. Additionally, there’s a cooling fan mounted right behind the rear I/O to help cool the internal components further.
