I’m going to check out what Asus has done with their X470 models, test the performance to see how it compares to the two other X470 boards I’ve tested, check out the cooling situation, and then run down and see if it’s a good buy for someone looking to build a Ryzen 2000 Series build.

The ASUS ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming is one of the major Mini-ITX options for Intel’s latest Coffee Lake processors. ASUS has a good history of building substantial Mini-ITX offerings, particularly with the ROG Impact line, however it is the Z-series mainstream Mini-ITX models that are the more cost effective option.

We received our sample of the Asus ROG Crosshair VII Hero Wi-Fi as part of the press kit that AMD delivered for the launch of Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X CPUs. As we expected, the Crosshair VII Hero is a high end motherboard that is loaded with overclocking features and while it looks and feels really solid, our initial testing suggested that performance was nothing special.

This £175 board ships with a healthy feature set, including an M.2 heatsink, a further M.2 slot on the back, 12 edge LEDs for the oh-so-obligatory RGB, high-quality audio, Gigabit LAN, 802.11ac WiFi/Bluetooth 4.2, and a PCIe x16 slot. Getting all of these on to the form factor is no easy task, but after having had a play around with it for the last couple of days, Asus has done a reasonable job.

The ASUS ROG Apex line of boards have always been known for its focus on overclocking as well as unique design implementations like the “X” shaped board and the unique ‘DIMM.2’ slot – a DRAM-like slot for a bundled add-in card that can be used for two additional M.2 modules on a PCIe 3.0 x8 link.

We review the ROG Strix X470-F Gaming, optimized for Ryzen 2000 / Zen+ on a motherboard with an ATX form factor. Alongside the release of Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 7 2700X processors, AMD prepped the X470 chipset, that offers a more fine-tuned experience for your Ryzen processor. The new ROG Strix X470-F Gaming is a little more appealing budget wise as it is selling at a € 209,- price point.

By now, a few of you are wondering why the non-Wi-Fi board simply didn’t reclaim the two PCIe lanes previously dedicated to the Wi-Fi board’s 802.11ac controller. The only answer we have is that the unchanged PCB layout likely leaves those two resources as a pathway to nowhere.

With the seemingly constant releases of the next ‘best thing in gaming’, it’s easy to forget that gaming only makes up a small portion of the PC world. While it doesn’t take much of a machine to check emails and check out pictures on social media, more than a few people make a living off of getting work done on…
