A processor isn’t worth much without memory to go along with it. The MW51-HP0 has eight DIMM slots for DDR4 memory modules in quad-channel configuration. You can install RDIMM and LRDIMM modules with a capacity up to 64GB, based on a 1.2V profile and up to 2666MHz. That is up to 512GB of fast memory and up to 18 CPU cores.

It’s my second Supermicro motherboard review and I’m just curious what improvements were made in new motherboard series. Supermicro is not for a long time on the gaming motherboards market but is quite old high quality, server components manufacturer. As we remember from previous review, Supermicro combines server quality with gaming features what gives users unique products.

Intel’s latest iteration of its mainstream platform, Z370 and socket LGA1151-V2, provides a solid foundation for high-performance and compact systems. All of the major motherboard vendors offer mini-ITX options, though choice is limited in comparison to ATX and micro-ATX equivalents. Gigabyte’s sole mini-ITX option is the Z370N WiFi that we are looking at today.

The Z370 Extreme4 is even able to support two M.2 and one slot-mounted NVMe drive simultaneously without dipping into the CPU’s 16 PCIe lanes: It’s always nice to see a company make full use of the chipset’s limited capabilities.

You probably know by this point that Intel’s latest Core i9 CPU’s pack a punch. You might even know that the higher core count chips in the series can consume some serious wattage. When you have ten to eighteen cores sucking down 400 to 600 watts or more, all of this power has to flow through your motherboard’s VRM or…

We often borrow the specifications table from the manufacturers website so as to ensure that we don’t accidentally miss a feature, or take something for granted that might be important to a prospective purchaser. The majority of the EVGA Classified K reads like a what’s what of current Z370 motherboard thinking, but spotting the Creative Sound Core3D audio is a nice surprise.

December 2017 saw emerge what was the one of the most remarkable values in high-end desktop (HEDT) motherboards: The original $260 discount price for Asus’ Prime X299-A dropped to a mere $200. That put the board in Z370 territory, and with added features that would have done a $200 Z370 board proud.

The behemoth Core i9-7980XE CPU can easily draw that 300W at stock with MultiCore Enhancement enabled, meaning the Core i9-7980XE will crush the VRM of many of those boards just at “stock”. So with all that in mind, I strapped my own Core i9-7980XE CPU into the ASRock X299 Extreme4, powered it up, and immediately began overclocking. Let’s take a look.

That said, the ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming, like many Z370 boards, doesn’t appear to offer that much more compared to its predecessor. In fact, the two boards look nearly identical, with large heatsinks covering a very similar-looking array of CPU power circuitry as well as a large heatsink covering the PCH and M.2 port.

It has the usual X299 selection of 8 DIMM slots supporting DDR4 at 4133 MHz for mind-blowing bandwidth. Storage, always important, starts with the ‘still pretty fast’ eight SATA ports and quickly ramps up to the insane world of U.2 and M.2 NVMe drives which pump out numbers so high that you would think they’d just been to Woodstock.
