ASRock X670E PG Lightning Review India: The Cheapest Way Onto Genuine X670E
ASRock's X670E Gap, Finally Closed
Until this batch of reviews, ASRock had zero boards covered on GetPC in the X670E, X870, or X870E tiers. That's a real gap, competitors like ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte have had their flagship-adjacent AM5 boards on the site for a while. The PG Lightning and its sibling, the X670E Steel Legend, close that gap in one go, and they sit at opposite ends of ASRock's X670E lineup.
PG Lightning is the budget end. "Lightning" in ASRock's naming has historically meant stripped-back aesthetics and a conservative power delivery, built to hit a price point rather than chase benchmark VRM temps. Steel Legend, by contrast, gets ASRock's better heatsink design and a beefier power stage count aimed at people who actually plan to run a 9800X3D at sustained boost clocks.
What X670E Actually Buys You Here
X670E is AM5's previous-generation flagship chipset tier, it sits a rung below X870E (already covered on GetPC via the ROG Strix X670E-A Gaming and X670E-E Gaming). The defining feature of X670E over every non-E AM5 chipset is that PCIe 5.0 is guaranteed on both the primary graphics slot and at least one M.2 slot, not optional, not chipset-dependent. That's the whole reason to pick X670E over a B850 or X670 board if you're future-proofing for a PCIe 5.0 GPU or a genuinely fast Gen5 SSD down the line.
What PG Lightning does not guarantee is a VRM that loves a 170W part running flat out for hours. If your CPU plan is a Ryzen 5 7600 or similar, this board is comfortably enough. If it's a 9800X3D pushed hard with all-core workloads on top of gaming, I'd rather see you on Steel Legend or step up to X870E territory.
India Pricing
₹25,549 at computechstore.in. That's the confirmed street price as of July 2026, and it undercuts every other genuine X670E board I've tracked on Indian retail by a meaningful margin. This is the floor price for real X670E in India right now.
Who Should Buy / Who Should Skip
Buy this if you specifically want guaranteed PCIe 5.0 (GPU slot and M.2) at the lowest possible entry price, you're pairing it with a Ryzen 5 7600 or a moderately-clocked build, and you don't need heavy VRM headroom.
Skip this if you're running a 9800X3D and plan to push it hard, or you want better onboard audio and USB counts, in which case the extra spend on X670E Steel Legend is worth it. Also skip if PCIe 5.0 doesn't matter to you at all, a B850 Steel Legend WiFi saves you another ₹4,000 with no real-world downside for most builds.
Questions
It'll run one fine day to day. For sustained heavy workloads I'd rather see the Steel Legend's beefier VRM, but for gaming-focused use, PG Lightning holds up.
VRM quality, heatsink design, and general feature polish. Both are genuine X670E with guaranteed PCIe 5.0. Steel Legend costs more and gives you more headroom.
If your budget stops around ₹25,000 to ₹30,000, yes. X870E adds refined day-one AGESA and generally better VRMs, but at nearly ₹10,000 more it's not close on value for a budget-conscious PCIe 5.0 build.
