ASUS Z370i Strix Gaming Review

Introduction

It's been an extremely busy festive period here at OC3D Towers and so, somewhat later than we had either hoped or planned, it's time to take a look at the ASUS Z370i Strix Gaming.

We know you're as eager to see the results as we are to bring them to you, so rather than get bogged down in a lengthy preamble let's get straight down to business. It's a Z370 motherboard, the flexible affordable option of the two major Intel chipsets, under the excellent ASUS Strix umbrella but in an affordable and compact ITX specification.

Recent ITX motherboards have been far better performers than their forebears, so let's find out if the ASUS Strix continues the trend.

Technical Specifications

Despite the diminutive form factor ASUS Have managed to squeeze and awful lot on the Strix ITX PCB. From the features we've come to expect such as the SupremeFX audio, AC WiFi and GameFirst LAN, there are a few that we're pleased to see have made the journey from their ATX motherboards, including dual M.2 ports, dedicated water pump headers and even a USB 3.1 front panel connector. It might be small but you're not lacking for connectivity.
