the new asus rog strix is a 378 motherboard I also have these at 370 F motherboard as it's very similar so I'll just quickly point out the differences between this two and for the rest of the review I'll just focus on the Z 370 II so these are 370 ESD more expensive motherboard coming in Australia and in the u.s. the Zen 370 F is slightly cheaper
in Australia and in the u.s. I'll have links in the review description so you guys can check out pricing as well in case you're watching this review later on as the prices can fluctuate , so I physically looking at the three boards they're very similar in fact the PCB layout is near identical similar to how DZ 270 and the Z 270 F wire with the previous
generation now the main difference you'll notice with this generation however is the difference in color with the more lighter silver color on these say 370 II compared to the darker gray on these at 370 F and that's relating to the heatsink and the i/o covered there other differences are that these at 370 F doesn't feature the internal USB 3.1 gen2 front panel header just in this area here and also the zr3 70s doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi which for me is pretty much a deal-
breaker so basically the only reason why you buy the F is if you don't care about the Wi-Fi otherwise we'll have to pay the extra dollars and get the e now everything else between the two boards will be pretty much the same so for the rest of the review I'll focus on these at 378 firstly let's check out what comes inside the box you'll find the Wi-Fi antenna just in this box here and
this one is just for these at 370 of course you'll get a nice door hanger I guess I'll just add that to my collection of course you'll get the manual you'll get a driver's disk although you should check the Asus website for the latest drivers that you can download from there you'll get a set of ROG cable labels you'll get three ROG stickers that you can apply to your fans if you want
there's also a one-page instruction on how to install the included vrm pen holder and then there's 20% off of cable cables just in time for the release of cable mods new pro cables sorry here's the two codes from the two motherboards to whoever wants to try and use them first further from that you'll find the IR shield there are four SATA cables a temperature sensor cable a 50/50 RGB LED extension cable an addressable RGB LED strip extension cable does
the vrm fan holder that I mentioned previously there is a two-way high bandwidth SLI bridge a CPU installation tool if you need it it's there a bunch of small zip ties and then of course two sets of small screws one for the M doctor email and the other for the custom 3d printing mounts that this board supports so I Pike motherboards are of standard ATX eyes and has a name suggested on the latest state 370 chipset and featuring the new LGA 1151 coffee-like socket so
the only support the new coffee-like hn CPUs such as the i7 8700 k that i have in the socket right now that i tested with the said 370 II so keep in mind that older generation CPUs such as the 7700 K and the 6700 K so 6 gen and 710 they're no longer support on this platform so the motherboard would of course support 64 gigs of dual-channel ddr2 ram with frequencies of up to 4,000 megahertz alternate at 4000 mega Hertz will not be easily achieved out of the box and
something may be required now I did test the motherboard with 3200 megahertz ddr2 pun enabling TX impre-- profile it worked without any hiccups so you'll see you'll get 3 16 X length PCIe lines the first two 16 X link you'll find that they do have the h2s safe spot reinforcing and in terms of PCI Lane allocation will be right at 16 eight and then the bottom one is wireless 4x only so you can't run of course SLI graphics you'll be using the first three with the safe slot
reinforcing on them and we do have two graphics cards populated in there they'll be running at 8x and then 8x and then they're also for 1x slots as well so you can see those here now in terms of MDOT to drive support the board can take up to 220 to 80 standard aimed or to SSD so there is one here and I do have a Samsung SSD in there at the moment and then there is another one underneath the heatsink just here it also supports in toast new obtain drives as well
the main 10.2 socket they should use is the one found underneath the PCI cheap sync so it's just in this area here that can be accessed plan on doing just as these three screws you'll find a thermal pad underneath with the lowest section of the cover acting as a heat sink for the SSD itself but once you have it installed in there well you should know however is and this the information I was able to pull from the manual is that only the bottom M doctor so that's the
one here that will be considered as the main handle to slot only this one will support both theta and PJ nvme SSDs the one in the top there this one will only support PCIe SSD z' so in the manual says that it does not support say da song fortune I don't have any SATA drives up on handle at the moment to test but the informations from the manual so I assume it's correct now further from that the bottom hems of two slots are just the one here this one will share
bandwidth with SATA port 1 so that will be the first state upwards adjust on the edge here and then the top envelope to restart so this one here this one will be sharing bandwidth with SATA ports 5 & 6 so there's just the last 2 state upwards on the side here motherboard also has the built-in supreme effects audio so that is just in this area here that will offer an 8 channel high definition audio codec now for my performance testing I used the i7 8700 K and tested at stop
clocks with MC enabled as well as disabled and also overclocked to the CPU to 5 gigahertz although I 5 gigahertz proved more difficult and more unstable on this motherboard when compared to the Maximus 10 here at which I've tested recently as well I'll get further into this in a minute but for the rest of the test system consisted of 32 gigs of G scale trial and said RGB 32 hundred megahertz ddr4 Ram a 1 terabyte samsung 960 Eva as the OS drive and then I also
had I found this GTA X 1080 graphics card I used Enoch Shaw Nhu tothis as the cooler and worked perfectly fine even with my applied 5 gigahertz overclocked settings and for the power supply I used the cooler master v1000 so you'll see the results on screen and notice the multi-core improvement in the scores with MC enabled so this is the multi-core enhancement feature that essentially takes the highest single core frequency and in case of the 8700 K that's 4.7
gigahertz and applies this frequency to all cores which is why the Cinebench r15 single single core scores are the same between MC enabled or disabled as the highest single core frequency in that instance was just a 4.7 gigahertz you see the slightly higher score with my 5 gigahertz overclock there on the single core then of course with MC enabled you'll see higher scores as well when it comes multi-core applications now the asus motherboard will come with this
feature enabled out-of-the-box which will essentially overclock your cpu even if your particular CPU doesn't properly run at this overclock frequency on all cores so just thing to be mindful of you can of course disable this in the BIOS but upon first boot it will be enabled however even with the performance bump that you get by having MC enabled I don't quite like this feature as you'll see a lot more voltage being applied to the CPU and therefore increasing things quite a
bit so during stock operations with MC disabled I was seeing the voltage fluctuate between one point one three to one point three one with temps staying in the upper 60s during the highlight test that I did and then with 3d mark which better represents Hardware Lloyd that you typically see in a gaming scenario I didn't even see the temps reach sixty degrees and they stay sort of in the upper 50s there so with MC enabled them there was a slightly increase in voltage
so I did see the voltage jump between one point two nine to one point four this of course bump temperatures quite higher they were in the upper 80s during the highlight test and about mid 70s during the 3d mark test that I did now when it comes to the 5 gigahertz overclock that I did if you look at the overclocked scores you can actually achieve better scores at lower voltages in temps by simply overclocking yourself rather than using the MCE feature so positive on this
motherboard however was that with the stock CPU operation I didn't see any voltage spikes that the maximum is 10 here I was getting during my tests and these temps definitely stayed much cooler there at stock clocks so when you compare this stock operation to rod I was getting on the Maximus 10 hero with the same knocked ro air cooler and the exact same CPUs the temperatures on that motherboard were spiking into the mid-90s you Judy very high voltage
that was being applied by the motherboard so yep as far as I know this motherboard didn't suffer for the same sort of voltage spikes at stock box that I was experiencing with the Maximus 10 hero now with my 5 gigahertz overclock we can see a constant improvement in the scores of about thirteen point four nine percent on average compared to having MC enabled we were getting about eight point one six percent increase in terms of performance from the stock
operation the one thing is with this motherboard however I did struggle to achieve this five gigahertz overclock at the 1.25 volts that I was able to do sorry with the exact same 8700 K CPUs on the Mustaine hero in fact I had to bump up the voltage quite a bit to 1.3 5 volts in the BIOS pretty drastic increase compared to what I was able to achieve with the hero I also had to play a little bit with the load line calibration I had to increase this to level seven which was the
maximum supported level in the BIOS v drop kept kicking in cheering hi Lloyd I was lowering the voltage wavelength what I was setting it to and the BIOS and therefore the five gigahertz overclock kept crashing on there hi Lloyd but this is a direct result of the lower power delivery found on these day 370 he compared to the Maximus 10 hero but even with the 1.3 5 volts on
the V Corps applied on the BIOS and LOC set to level 7 the CPU said in hardware monitor voltage Rita that I was getting was about one point two eight and pretty much stayed set at that level so it goes to show how a better power delivery system and using higher quality components between the Maximus 10 hero and these a 370 F does help in terms of overclocking and getting a more stable power delivery through the CPU still even with these settings and the
higher voltage applied as well as the anatra air-cool that I was using Tim stayed in the mid-80s at high light and with 3dmark the temp stayed in the lower 70s better scores with slightly lower temps than the one I was getting with MC e enabled so I definitely wouldn't rely on the MC e feature I was actually pretty much disabled completely in the BIOS and if you do want that extra bump in performance and spend an afternoon tweaking your settings find your best five
o'clock at the lowest voltage you're comfortable with in terms of the temperatures that you're getting and in the long run you'll be much better off now let's talk about onboard connectors so there are six SATA 360 degrees per second ports just in this area here there are a total of six USB 3.1 gen2 on or USB 3.0 ports depending on why you want to call them so there are two on the rear and then there are four by the two internal headers so there's one header here this
one's actually turns 90 degrees around and then there is another header just at the bottom there there's also a total of six USB 2.0 ports there's two on the back and then forward by the three ports just at the bottom of the board here so there is one USB 3.1 gen2 front panel port on the motherboard so that one's just here this one is are only present on these at 370 just as I mentioned at the start of the video you won't find this on these a37 yet however you do get two
USB 3.1 gen2 ports on the rear i/o one is type-a and type C in terms of aura RGB headers you'll find one standard 50/50 RGB LED strip header just here there's another one at the bottom here and then further that you also get an addressable RGB LED connector just on here so with this one you can connect addressable RGB LED strips you can connect the individual led on the board itself that's sort of what addressable means and then the fans you'll get six header on the
motherboard so there's two chassis fans so there's one here and then one here then of course you get the CPU main and TV optional just here there's also an AI or a pump header just here and then at the very bottom there is another header that's labeled MDOT true fan and of course you can use this header just with normal fans or you don't have to use this fan specifically for DM doctor so all these six ports to run a maximum of one amps or 12 watts of
power H and of course they're all support PWM control now fortunately there are no water cooling pump headers or any high amperage headers found on this motherboard there's also no water cooling friendly features so there's no like temperature sensors for water cooling or anything like that there's also no power and reset button on this motherboard and there's no postcode speed out as well further on the rear i/o some of the port's I didn't mention before of
course you get the Wi-Fi antenna connectors so this one again is on these at 370 only the X point have this then you'll get a display port an HDMI output there's also a DVI output as well you get a Gigabit Ethernet and then all of your audio ports as well now one thing you'll notice on here compared to the hero motherboard that I looked at recently as well this one doesn't have any USB bus flashback feature so just keep that in mind if you are interested in that
feature you'll have to look a step up from this motherboard at the hero in conclusion I like the look of this motherboard I like the color difference between the Strix a 370 II and the a 370 F even though the boards look pretty much exactly the same they've done that sort of differentiation with the colors and also these 370 E is much cheaper than the Maximus 10 here however in terms of overclocking it did struck struggle a little bit when compared to the hero
but still the five-year Hertz over cost was achievable with a bit of further tinkering and it still maintained decent temps even on air so if you don't mind the slight downgrade in terms of overclocking performance you don't care about the water cooling friendly features and that this motherboard doesn't doesn't have built-in like the hero does or if you don't mind on having the USB by a splash back in the RG Strix at 370 or these the 370 F are both great and much
cheaper ROG alternatives sort of stepping down from the more expensive maximum stain hero.
the Asus RG Strix z3 70e motherboard for the new Intel 8 generation processors I got on new egg on Black Friday or Cyber Monday for look a little bit less than I believe and it's for my new PC build so if you guys want to check those reviews out I'm actually unboxing in the middle of one of those yeah I got this one music let me try to do my best to film this with one hand packing list then also got thermal paste I don't know if this one's good I
heard it's good hopefully that works but here it is the ROG Strix z3 70e motherboard there it goes and this is SL I obviously the new until its generation until octane AMD cross fire and has Asus or a sink and here we're gonna go ahead and open it see what's inside it's not taped so here we have it oh wow that looks even nicer in person this is honestly one of the best-looking
motherboards I've ever seen just re here just look so nice I figure that's college classic for the iOS stuff it on your box here I'm guessing this is one of many boxes see how you open this I'm gonna have to put the camera down there we got our this is the Wi-Fi in China and connected there then here we have the board itself in a static bag there now and underneath which looks kind of messy but I got it is door handle hang some cable labels coupons for all I might actually
use this coupons for cable mod 20% off so I've like a white theme build so I might actually use that and then that comes with this more stickers these ones are pretty cool and then CD which is useless you could just get the drivers online and then this is the fan holder technical updates paper this is just talking about overclocking and stuff and then obviously here you have the manual and this will tell us how to install everything whatever thing connects to and pretty
much anything we need to know about be motherboard and then there's all more cables in the boxes under this like slap-bang here you have um this is a sli bridge ugly yes all i bridge I don't know what came with that some zip ties for cable management a nice extra I believe this is for the power button I'm not sure left I look in the manual dispute mostly spoke towards these I believe are SATA cables I think they're called these are what hooks to the they hook the
motherboard to the hard drives or SSDs make more of these here and here's our I Oh feels I was just in black I didn't know what this looks like be a pretty basic and then this is just the CPU installation tool this is a fan holder bracket so I'm standoffs more cables I'm not sure what these are for maybe fans or something like that and then some more standoff unless they're not least even more cable so I don't know what they're for okay so that's everything that was in the
box now I'm gonna go ahead and open up the motherboard take it out of the static no anti-static bag and we'll see what it looks like so we're gonna go ahead and take it out of the bag now okay so the motherboard is now out of the bag so here's what it looks like in the pictures it almost looks like as if this is like white or like very light silver but this is actually just like I
don't know the color of metal just like silver and then the back is a dark gray which would look really nice in my build and then going over here we have the supreme FX audio I think you can have three graphics cards actually hooked into here for RAM slots here's where the CPU goes one more thing about the motherboards I just noticed is there's actually like a plastic thing on
here you feel like it's like kind of hard to notice I'll see ya that's it for this unboxing.
the Z 370 Yi gaming from Asus which falls on the district's family it comes with all the features that you would want except for some neat overclocking modes it even has some features that many other motherboards in this family don't have such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support since this is an rog board exercise to include all the key features that a builder could want and even implemented some RGB into the back i/o to keep the colors quite neutral but the silver accents
would go very well with silver cases if you want something even more called neutral you guys should consider this trick since e3 70f game that motherboard is basically the same motherboard is this - Bluetooth and Wi-Fi it's also free dollars cheaper as well it doesn't have any silver highlights which are all replaced by a shape life finally on this motherboard there are some LEDs on the top right that help troubleshoot different booty shoes the power face of this
motherboard is ten plus two and the CPU BRM it attended the face solution overall this motherboard easily able to handle it apply beers overclock on the CPU and a thirty two hundred megahertz overclock on the ramp economic overclocking as highest enthusiast sports the only disadvantage of this board would be that a wouldn't out press much information issues
all the temperature and stuff additionally this board has six SATA ports 2 m dot 2 slots three USB 2.0 headers two USB 3.1 genuine headers and even a USB 3.1 gen2 header it also has six PWM fan headers three pcie 3.0 which all have 16 lanes and a sick m dot two heats however the empty slots do share bandwidth with the s status locks so make sure to keep that in mind when you are using that about two slots this motherboard can support sli or three respire but if you
guys are setting it to just set up you guys should buy a hired motherboard this motherboard comes a supreme FX integrator audio and supports up to 7.1 surround sound out of the six fan headers one of them is a i/o dedicated and another one is meant for an m2 Finn but you guys can just use that for normal fit as well all the fan headers on this motherboard are strategically placed around the edges and next to CPU for in order to avoid fan cable from being nice asus
has implemented temperature sensors and various places in this board to keep the user updated on turn their most of their motherboard on the rear i/o of this motherboard you can find one DVI HD 41 display 41 HDMI port one land rj45 port that's sports area but either 2 USB 3.1 gen2 at a and type-c ports two USB 3.1 gen2 on which are colored blue two USB 2.0 ports one optical s/pdif out 5 audio jacks and one asus Wi-Fi go module and the wine fly supports AC and
bluetooth version 4.1 it also comes with an adapter overall this is a high-end motherboard let's close close to the intuitive level while offering a much more affordable price between the Maximus and code families in my opinion I'll MSI and gigabytes offer great motherboards Asus mystic Kingdom credible Edwards and always incredible and this motherboard should be on your short list of motherboards if you guys are planning on getting the beauty 700k and
prefer not to shell out too much one if you guys are planning on getting 8600 cake I would say look for cheaper motherboard guess you guys have a tighter budget and a little extra features of this motherboard offered artwork sacrificing a GPU level or even upgrade to the East 100k using the money that you would save from a lower end motherboard that still offers most of the features a sport has maybe - the RGB and a few ports overall this is a premium motherboard
for people looking for to build a premium system if guys don't fall in that category I would recommend you guys buy a different motherboard this motherboard is build several bells and whistles and it's meant for people who have a mentality of having a premium product or rog product and don't they have really mind shelling out a few extra dollars for all of you guys who are still interested this is an awesome little boy and comes everything that you would want if
you guys want a premium product but don't want to go super high-end then this is the perfect motherboard for you if you guys are considering buying this motherboard I recommend you guys watch my unboxing of this motherboard if you guys are curious as what comes in the box well that's all I have for you guys today I hope you guys enjoyed that and if you guys really
liked it I would really appreciate it.

the new asus rog strix is a 378 motherboard I also have these at 370 F motherboard as it's very similar so I'll just quickly point out the differences between this two and for the rest of the review I'll just focus on the Z 370 II so these are 370 ESD more expensive motherboard coming in Australia and in the u.s. the Zen 370 F is slightly cheaper
in Australia and in the u.s. I'll have links in the review description so you guys can check out pricing as well in case you're watching this review later on as the prices can fluctuate , so I physically looking at the three boards they're very similar in fact the PCB layout is near identical similar to how DZ 270 and the Z 270 F wire with the previous
generation now the main difference you'll notice with this generation however is the difference in color with the more lighter silver color on these say 370 II compared to the darker gray on these at 370 F and that's relating to the heatsink and the i/o covered there other differences are that these at 370 F doesn't feature the internal USB 3.1 gen2 front panel header just in this area here and also the zr3 70s doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi which for me is pretty much a deal-
breaker so basically the only reason why you buy the F is if you don't care about the Wi-Fi otherwise we'll have to pay the extra dollars and get the e now everything else between the two boards will be pretty much the same so for the rest of the review I'll focus on these at 378 firstly let's check out what comes inside the box you'll find the Wi-Fi antenna just in this box here and
this one is just for these at 370 of course you'll get a nice door hanger I guess I'll just add that to my collection of course you'll get the manual you'll get a driver's disk although you should check the Asus website for the latest drivers that you can download from there you'll get a set of ROG cable labels you'll get three ROG stickers that you can apply to your fans if you want
there's also a one-page instruction on how to install the included vrm pen holder and then there's 20% off of cable cables just in time for the release of cable mods new pro cables sorry here's the two codes from the two motherboards to whoever wants to try and use them first further from that you'll find the IR shield there are four SATA cables a temperature sensor cable a 50/50 RGB LED extension cable an addressable RGB LED strip extension cable does
the vrm fan holder that I mentioned previously there is a two-way high bandwidth SLI bridge a CPU installation tool if you need it it's there a bunch of small zip ties and then of course two sets of small screws one for the M doctor email and the other for the custom 3d printing mounts that this board supports so I Pike motherboards are of standard ATX eyes and has a name suggested on the latest state 370 chipset and featuring the new LGA 1151 coffee-like socket so
the only support the new coffee-like hn CPUs such as the i7 8700 k that i have in the socket right now that i tested with the said 370 II so keep in mind that older generation CPUs such as the 7700 K and the 6700 K so 6 gen and 710 they're no longer support on this platform so the motherboard would of course support 64 gigs of dual-channel ddr2 ram with frequencies of up to 4,000 megahertz alternate at 4000 mega Hertz will not be easily achieved out of the box and
something may be required now I did test the motherboard with 3200 megahertz ddr2 pun enabling TX impre-- profile it worked without any hiccups so you'll see you'll get 3 16 X length PCIe lines the first two 16 X link you'll find that they do have the h2s safe spot reinforcing and in terms of PCI Lane allocation will be right at 16 eight and then the bottom one is wireless 4x only so you can't run of course SLI graphics you'll be using the first three with the safe slot
reinforcing on them and we do have two graphics cards populated in there they'll be running at 8x and then 8x and then they're also for 1x slots as well so you can see those here now in terms of MDOT to drive support the board can take up to 220 to 80 standard aimed or to SSD so there is one here and I do have a Samsung SSD in there at the moment and then there is another one underneath the heatsink just here it also supports in toast new obtain drives as well
the main 10.2 socket they should use is the one found underneath the PCI cheap sync so it's just in this area here that can be accessed plan on doing just as these three screws you'll find a thermal pad underneath with the lowest section of the cover acting as a heat sink for the SSD itself but once you have it installed in there well you should know however is and this the information I was able to pull from the manual is that only the bottom M doctor so that's the
one here that will be considered as the main handle to slot only this one will support both theta and PJ nvme SSDs the one in the top there this one will only support PCIe SSD z' so in the manual says that it does not support say da song fortune I don't have any SATA drives up on handle at the moment to test but the informations from the manual so I assume it's correct now further from that the bottom hems of two slots are just the one here this one will share
bandwidth with SATA port 1 so that will be the first state upwards adjust on the edge here and then the top envelope to restart so this one here this one will be sharing bandwidth with SATA ports 5 & 6 so there's just the last 2 state upwards on the side here motherboard also has the built-in supreme effects audio so that is just in this area here that will offer an 8 channel high definition audio codec now for my performance testing I used the i7 8700 K and tested at stop
clocks with MC enabled as well as disabled and also overclocked to the CPU to 5 gigahertz although I 5 gigahertz proved more difficult and more unstable on this motherboard when compared to the Maximus 10 here at which I've tested recently as well I'll get further into this in a minute but for the rest of the test system consisted of 32 gigs of G scale trial and said RGB 32 hundred megahertz ddr4 Ram a 1 terabyte samsung 960 Eva as the OS drive and then I also
had I found this GTA X 1080 graphics card I used Enoch Shaw Nhu tothis as the cooler and worked perfectly fine even with my applied 5 gigahertz overclocked settings and for the power supply I used the cooler master v1000 so you'll see the results on screen and notice the multi-core improvement in the scores with MC enabled so this is the multi-core enhancement feature that essentially takes the highest single core frequency and in case of the 8700 K that's 4.7
gigahertz and applies this frequency to all cores which is why the Cinebench r15 single single core scores are the same between MC enabled or disabled as the highest single core frequency in that instance was just a 4.7 gigahertz you see the slightly higher score with my 5 gigahertz overclock there on the single core then of course with MC enabled you'll see higher scores as well when it comes multi-core applications now the asus motherboard will come with this
feature enabled out-of-the-box which will essentially overclock your cpu even if your particular CPU doesn't properly run at this overclock frequency on all cores so just thing to be mindful of you can of course disable this in the BIOS but upon first boot it will be enabled however even with the performance bump that you get by having MC enabled I don't quite like this feature as you'll see a lot more voltage being applied to the CPU and therefore increasing things quite a
bit so during stock operations with MC disabled I was seeing the voltage fluctuate between one point one three to one point three one with temps staying in the upper 60s during the highlight test that I did and then with 3d mark which better represents Hardware Lloyd that you typically see in a gaming scenario I didn't even see the temps reach sixty degrees and they stay sort of in the upper 50s there so with MC enabled them there was a slightly increase in voltage
so I did see the voltage jump between one point two nine to one point four this of course bump temperatures quite higher they were in the upper 80s during the highlight test and about mid 70s during the 3d mark test that I did now when it comes to the 5 gigahertz overclock that I did if you look at the overclocked scores you can actually achieve better scores at lower voltages in temps by simply overclocking yourself rather than using the MCE feature so positive on this
motherboard however was that with the stock CPU operation I didn't see any voltage spikes that the maximum is 10 here I was getting during my tests and these temps definitely stayed much cooler there at stock clocks so when you compare this stock operation to rod I was getting on the Maximus 10 hero with the same knocked ro air cooler and the exact same CPUs the temperatures on that motherboard were spiking into the mid-90s you Judy very high voltage
that was being applied by the motherboard so yep as far as I know this motherboard didn't suffer for the same sort of voltage spikes at stock box that I was experiencing with the Maximus 10 hero now with my 5 gigahertz overclock we can see a constant improvement in the scores of about thirteen point four nine percent on average compared to having MC enabled we were getting about eight point one six percent increase in terms of performance from the stock
operation the one thing is with this motherboard however I did struggle to achieve this five gigahertz overclock at the 1.25 volts that I was able to do sorry with the exact same 8700 K CPUs on the Mustaine hero in fact I had to bump up the voltage quite a bit to 1.3 5 volts in the BIOS pretty drastic increase compared to what I was able to achieve with the hero I also had to play a little bit with the load line calibration I had to increase this to level seven which was the
maximum supported level in the BIOS v drop kept kicking in cheering hi Lloyd I was lowering the voltage wavelength what I was setting it to and the BIOS and therefore the five gigahertz overclock kept crashing on there hi Lloyd but this is a direct result of the lower power delivery found on these day 370 he compared to the Maximus 10 hero but even with the 1.3 5 volts on
the V Corps applied on the BIOS and LOC set to level 7 the CPU said in hardware monitor voltage Rita that I was getting was about one point two eight and pretty much stayed set at that level so it goes to show how a better power delivery system and using higher quality components between the Maximus 10 hero and these a 370 F does help in terms of overclocking and getting a more stable power delivery through the CPU still even with these settings and the
higher voltage applied as well as the anatra air-cool that I was using Tim stayed in the mid-80s at high light and with 3dmark the temp stayed in the lower 70s better scores with slightly lower temps than the one I was getting with MC e enabled so I definitely wouldn't rely on the MC e feature I was actually pretty much disabled completely in the BIOS and if you do want that extra bump in performance and spend an afternoon tweaking your settings find your best five
o'clock at the lowest voltage you're comfortable with in terms of the temperatures that you're getting and in the long run you'll be much better off now let's talk about onboard connectors so there are six SATA 360 degrees per second ports just in this area here there are a total of six USB 3.1 gen2 on or USB 3.0 ports depending on why you want to call them so there are two on the rear and then there are four by the two internal headers so there's one header here this
one's actually turns 90 degrees around and then there is another header just at the bottom there there's also a total of six USB 2.0 ports there's two on the back and then forward by the three ports just at the bottom of the board here so there is one USB 3.1 gen2 front panel port on the motherboard so that one's just here this one is are only present on these at 370 just as I mentioned at the start of the video you won't find this on these a37 yet however you do get two
USB 3.1 gen2 ports on the rear i/o one is type-a and type C in terms of aura RGB headers you'll find one standard 50/50 RGB LED strip header just here there's another one at the bottom here and then further that you also get an addressable RGB LED connector just on here so with this one you can connect addressable RGB LED strips you can connect the individual led on the board itself that's sort of what addressable means and then the fans you'll get six header on the
motherboard so there's two chassis fans so there's one here and then one here then of course you get the CPU main and TV optional just here there's also an AI or a pump header just here and then at the very bottom there is another header that's labeled MDOT true fan and of course you can use this header just with normal fans or you don't have to use this fan specifically for DM doctor so all these six ports to run a maximum of one amps or 12 watts of
power H and of course they're all support PWM control now fortunately there are no water cooling pump headers or any high amperage headers found on this motherboard there's also no water cooling friendly features so there's no like temperature sensors for water cooling or anything like that there's also no power and reset button on this motherboard and there's no postcode speed out as well further on the rear i/o some of the port's I didn't mention before of
course you get the Wi-Fi antenna connectors so this one again is on these at 370 only the X point have this then you'll get a display port an HDMI output there's also a DVI output as well you get a Gigabit Ethernet and then all of your audio ports as well now one thing you'll notice on here compared to the hero motherboard that I looked at recently as well this one doesn't have any USB bus flashback feature so just keep that in mind if you are interested in that
feature you'll have to look a step up from this motherboard at the hero in conclusion I like the look of this motherboard I like the color difference between the Strix a 370 II and the a 370 F even though the boards look pretty much exactly the same they've done that sort of differentiation with the colors and also these 370 E is much cheaper than the Maximus 10 here however in terms of overclocking it did struck struggle a little bit when compared to the hero
but still the five-year Hertz over cost was achievable with a bit of further tinkering and it still maintained decent temps even on air so if you don't mind the slight downgrade in terms of overclocking performance you don't care about the water cooling friendly features and that this motherboard doesn't doesn't have built-in like the hero does or if you don't mind on having the USB by a splash back in the RG Strix at 370 or these the 370 F are both great and much
cheaper ROG alternatives sort of stepping down from the more expensive maximum stain hero.
ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming LGA1151 Motherboard review
the Asus RG Strix z3 70e motherboard for the new Intel 8 generation processors I got on new egg on Black Friday or Cyber Monday for look a little bit less than I believe and it's for my new PC build so if you guys want to check those reviews out I'm actually unboxing in the middle of one of those yeah I got this one music let me try to do my best to film this with one hand packing list then also got thermal paste I don't know if this one's good I
heard it's good hopefully that works but here it is the ROG Strix z3 70e motherboard there it goes and this is SL I obviously the new until its generation until octane AMD cross fire and has Asus or a sink and here we're gonna go ahead and open it see what's inside it's not taped so here we have it oh wow that looks even nicer in person this is honestly one of the best-looking
motherboards I've ever seen just re here just look so nice I figure that's college classic for the iOS stuff it on your box here I'm guessing this is one of many boxes see how you open this I'm gonna have to put the camera down there we got our this is the Wi-Fi in China and connected there then here we have the board itself in a static bag there now and underneath which looks kind of messy but I got it is door handle hang some cable labels coupons for all I might actually
use this coupons for cable mod 20% off so I've like a white theme build so I might actually use that and then that comes with this more stickers these ones are pretty cool and then CD which is useless you could just get the drivers online and then this is the fan holder technical updates paper this is just talking about overclocking and stuff and then obviously here you have the manual and this will tell us how to install everything whatever thing connects to and pretty
much anything we need to know about be motherboard and then there's all more cables in the boxes under this like slap-bang here you have um this is a sli bridge ugly yes all i bridge I don't know what came with that some zip ties for cable management a nice extra I believe this is for the power button I'm not sure left I look in the manual dispute mostly spoke towards these I believe are SATA cables I think they're called these are what hooks to the they hook the
motherboard to the hard drives or SSDs make more of these here and here's our I Oh feels I was just in black I didn't know what this looks like be a pretty basic and then this is just the CPU installation tool this is a fan holder bracket so I'm standoffs more cables I'm not sure what these are for maybe fans or something like that and then some more standoff unless they're not least even more cable so I don't know what they're for okay so that's everything that was in the
box now I'm gonna go ahead and open up the motherboard take it out of the static no anti-static bag and we'll see what it looks like so we're gonna go ahead and take it out of the bag now okay so the motherboard is now out of the bag so here's what it looks like in the pictures it almost looks like as if this is like white or like very light silver but this is actually just like I
don't know the color of metal just like silver and then the back is a dark gray which would look really nice in my build and then going over here we have the supreme FX audio I think you can have three graphics cards actually hooked into here for RAM slots here's where the CPU goes one more thing about the motherboards I just noticed is there's actually like a plastic thing on
here you feel like it's like kind of hard to notice I'll see ya that's it for this unboxing.
the Z 370 Yi gaming from Asus which falls on the district's family it comes with all the features that you would want except for some neat overclocking modes it even has some features that many other motherboards in this family don't have such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support since this is an rog board exercise to include all the key features that a builder could want and even implemented some RGB into the back i/o to keep the colors quite neutral but the silver accents
would go very well with silver cases if you want something even more called neutral you guys should consider this trick since e3 70f game that motherboard is basically the same motherboard is this - Bluetooth and Wi-Fi it's also free dollars cheaper as well it doesn't have any silver highlights which are all replaced by a shape life finally on this motherboard there are some LEDs on the top right that help troubleshoot different booty shoes the power face of this
motherboard is ten plus two and the CPU BRM it attended the face solution overall this motherboard easily able to handle it apply beers overclock on the CPU and a thirty two hundred megahertz overclock on the ramp economic overclocking as highest enthusiast sports the only disadvantage of this board would be that a wouldn't out press much information issues
all the temperature and stuff additionally this board has six SATA ports 2 m dot 2 slots three USB 2.0 headers two USB 3.1 genuine headers and even a USB 3.1 gen2 header it also has six PWM fan headers three pcie 3.0 which all have 16 lanes and a sick m dot two heats however the empty slots do share bandwidth with the s status locks so make sure to keep that in mind when you are using that about two slots this motherboard can support sli or three respire but if you
guys are setting it to just set up you guys should buy a hired motherboard this motherboard comes a supreme FX integrator audio and supports up to 7.1 surround sound out of the six fan headers one of them is a i/o dedicated and another one is meant for an m2 Finn but you guys can just use that for normal fit as well all the fan headers on this motherboard are strategically placed around the edges and next to CPU for in order to avoid fan cable from being nice asus
has implemented temperature sensors and various places in this board to keep the user updated on turn their most of their motherboard on the rear i/o of this motherboard you can find one DVI HD 41 display 41 HDMI port one land rj45 port that's sports area but either 2 USB 3.1 gen2 at a and type-c ports two USB 3.1 gen2 on which are colored blue two USB 2.0 ports one optical s/pdif out 5 audio jacks and one asus Wi-Fi go module and the wine fly supports AC and
bluetooth version 4.1 it also comes with an adapter overall this is a high-end motherboard let's close close to the intuitive level while offering a much more affordable price between the Maximus and code families in my opinion I'll MSI and gigabytes offer great motherboards Asus mystic Kingdom credible Edwards and always incredible and this motherboard should be on your short list of motherboards if you guys are planning on getting the beauty 700k and
prefer not to shell out too much one if you guys are planning on getting 8600 cake I would say look for cheaper motherboard guess you guys have a tighter budget and a little extra features of this motherboard offered artwork sacrificing a GPU level or even upgrade to the East 100k using the money that you would save from a lower end motherboard that still offers most of the features a sport has maybe - the RGB and a few ports overall this is a premium motherboard
for people looking for to build a premium system if guys don't fall in that category I would recommend you guys buy a different motherboard this motherboard is build several bells and whistles and it's meant for people who have a mentality of having a premium product or rog product and don't they have really mind shelling out a few extra dollars for all of you guys who are still interested this is an awesome little boy and comes everything that you would want if
you guys want a premium product but don't want to go super high-end then this is the perfect motherboard for you if you guys are considering buying this motherboard I recommend you guys watch my unboxing of this motherboard if you guys are curious as what comes in the box well that's all I have for you guys today I hope you guys enjoyed that and if you guys really
liked it I would really appreciate it.
