I have a Phantom Gaming 9 (Z390 ATX, a bit different from yours but maybe not that much) and all I did was flash the latest bios from Asrock, then set the multiplier to 51 and DRAM voltage to 1.4. The board did the rest. That got me 5.1 GHz stable. I only touched the RAM voltage because it would have MemTest86 errors even with everything stock. 3 Phantom amin Chapter 1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 motherboard, a reliable motherboard produced under ASRock’s consistently stringent quality control.
