Decent price, kept me updated with progress, well packed (and they chucked in some sweeties!) and good delivery. Great service overall.Read on Google
The ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming motherboard has a notable angular, almost blade-like look. It uses Z370 chipset and supports Intel's 8th generation Coffee Lake processors. The Z370 architecture lets the ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming automatically overclock compatible K-series CPUs.
The ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming has an ATX form factor and uses the cutting edge Z370 chipset so it is compatible with Intel's 8000-series Core processors (Coffee Lake). This architecture enables compatible K-series CPUs to be automatically overclocked.
The ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming motherboard has numerous technical innovations, enhancements and an array of storage solutions. There are two PCIe x16 slots, one of which uses a full 16 lanes to connect to the chipset, as well as four further PCIe x1 slots. It has dual M.2 slots capable of running ultra-fast NVMe-M.2 SSDs, resulting in a data transfer rate of nearly 4 GB/s. Asus have also included a dedicated heatsink for the M.2 slots, which maintains steady temperatures for the components. There are also six SATA 6G connectors for 3.5" or 2.5" hard drives and -SSDs (incl. RAID support). Up to 64GB of RAM can be added across four DIMM slots.
This board also takes advantage of Intel's advance Optane Memory system, which improves communication between system RAM and the CPU, leading to overall faster performance.
The board offers excellent options for connecting external peripherals and comes with an I/O panel boasting an array of the very latest and greatest connectivity standards including both type A and C USB 3.1, six USB 3.0, six USB 2.0 ports.
Network connections can be made via two Gigabit LAN ports and wi-fi connections by two wireless antennae connectors.
Video is displayed via an HDMI or DisplayPort 1.2 while a Realtek ALC1220 connection allows for excellent sound output in either 7.1 surround sound or DTS Connect.
