\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[ASUS<\/a> offers a very large variety of motherboards, from efficient but basic home PCs to high-end but costly gaming PCs. In this review, I will be talking about the\u00a0ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming motherboard. This motherboard costs $209.99<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a3206.99<\/a>).

\nAsusTek Computer Inc. is a Taiwanese multinational computer and phone hardware and electronics company headquartered in Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan. Its products include desktops, laptops, netbooks, mobile phones, networking equipment, monitors, WIFI routers, projectors, motherboards, graphics cards, optical storage, multimedia products, peripherals, wearables, servers, workstations, and tablet PCs (Asus Wikipedia<\/a>).
\nThere are many aspects to consider when reviewing a motherboard that has been made for gaming. Especially one that will cost you almost $210. The\u00a0\u00a0ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming motherboard in question today has a very mixed blend of pros and cons to it, according to many reviews from sites including\u00a0PC TeK Reviews<\/a>, KitGuru<\/a>, and Bit-Tech<\/a>.

\nThe Z370-E motherboard is the newest product from Intel<\/a>‘s<\/a> “Coffee Lake<\/a>” family of CPUs. With RGB LED lighting complimenting silver heatsinks, the style and aesthetics of this motherboard are definitely there. According to Bit-Tech<\/a>, this style is much different from the dark grey\/black colors we have been seeing in boards.
\nHowever, the most important part is the performance. A review by\u00a0PC TeK Reviews\u00a0<\/a>led me to believe that this motherboard had no cons. It is a very well performing board for gamers and mainstream users. It has good overclocking performance and is perfect for user- customization. Although, another review by\u00a0Bit-Tech\u00a0<\/a>disagreed. They argued that the main issue for this motherboard was that it didn’t offer much for its price. There are much cheaper options by ASUS, but at the same time there’s very little for this price option that offer more (Bit-Tech<\/a>).
\nSpecifications:
\nChipset Intel Z370
\nForm factor ATX
\nCPU support Intel Socket LGA 1151-V2
\nMemory support Dual-channel, four slots, max 64GB
\nSound Eight-channel SupremeFX S1120A
\nNetworking 1 x Intel Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2
\nPorts 2 x M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 32Gbps (1 x PCIe\/SATA 6Gbps up to 2280, 1 x PCIe\/SATA 6Gbps up to 22110) , 6 x SATA 6Gbps, 1 x USB 3.1 Type-A, 1 x USB 3.1 Type-C, 1 x USB 3.1 header, 4 x USB 3.0 (2 via headers), 6 x USB 2.0 (4 via headers), 1 x LAN, audio out, line in, mic, Optical S\/PDIF out
\nDimensions (mm) 305 x 244
\nExtras Wi-Fi aerials, RGB LED extension cable, 40\/60mm fan mount (Bit-Tech<\/a>).
\nOverall, the\u00a0ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming Motherboard is a solid contender when looking at high-performance motherboards with solid gaming compatibility. Although the price may seem pretty steep for what you’re getting, there’s really not much more you can get for the same price. All in all I would recommend this motherboard for anyone looking for a high-end gaming experience.
