ASUS STRIX X370-I GAMING AMD X370 Motherboard RoG - Socket AM4 [90MB0VE0-M0EAY0]

The advanced AMD X370, B350, and A320 chipsets for the enthusiast, mainstream, and base segments provide many of today's state-of-the-art peripheral I / O interfaces and connectors, while providing additional data lines directly from the CPU or APU.

The processor's on-board memory controller also supports fast and energy-efficient DDR4 memory in dual-channel AM4 motherboards, even with support for ECC error correction, depending on the board. The sophisticated "Zen" microarchitecture together with the associated AM4 platform form the ideal basis for powerful systems in every area of application.

Features of the ASUS ROG STRIX X370-I GAMING in Micro-ITX format

The ASUS ROG STRIX X370-I is a motherboard in Mini-ITX format and has a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connectivity for graphics cards. The two RAM banks take up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, whereby corresponding memory can run at a maximum of 3,600 megahertz (O.C.). The internal connection repertoire includes, among other things, a header for USB 3.0 and one for USB 2.0 for two ports each.

Special features at a glance:

    1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end GPUs
    2x USB 3.1 / 6x USB 3.0 / 2x USB 2.0 / 2x M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4 / 2.0 x4) / 4x SATA 6G
    2x PWM fan ports (4-pin)
    Aura Sync RGB LED lighting & WLAN module
    DDR4 memory up to 2,666 MHz (3,600 megahertz (o.c.))
    Modern UEFI BIOS including temperature monitoring

The board manages data carriers such as SSDs and hard disks via four SATA-6G ports (including RAID support) as well as two horizontal M.2 slots, which are connected with four PCI Express 3.0 or 2.0 lanes and thus enormously high Speeds of up to 32 Gbps. M.2 SSDs from 42mm to 80mm in length can be used, and it also supports the advanced NVM Express protocol, which has been specially optimized for highly parallelized disk access of modern PCIe SSDs.

A small highlight of the ASUS STRIX X370-I is also that there are two USB 3.1 ports on the I / O panel on the back of the mainboard. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port. For unrestricted network connections, the board also has a Gigabit LAN port and fast wireless AC with two antenna ports including antenna for a lag-free gaming To enable experience. The Realtek ALC1220 codec and the three audio ports with gold-plated connectors provide a decent sound.

Last but not least, two fans with a 4-pin PWM connection can be connected directly to the board, and there are also two corresponding headers for the included LED strip and other RGB-capable devices. On the back of the motherboard, further devices and components can be connected to the ASUS STRIX X370-I via USB 3.0 and 2.0 via the I / O shield.

Attention: The actual execution of the I / O configuration may vary depending on the motherboard. The table only shows the basic equipment at interfaces. Other ports are possible with additional controller chips.

Compatibility Note for CPU Cooler on AMD Socket AM4:
Due to changes in the hole spacing in the socket AM4 compared to its predecessors AM2 (+), AM3 (+) or FM2 (+) require CPU cooler with back plate fitting accordingly compatible AM4 mounting kits, which should be considered before buying. CPU coolers, which are attached directly to the retention module of the mainboard, are fully compatible.
