The ASUS STRIX B360-I gaming in detail
The ASUS STRIX B360-I Gaming Mini-ITX motherboard has a PCIe x16 slot connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes. The already integrated Intel Wireless AC 9560 module provides wireless connectivity via WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.

The two M.2 slots connected via four PCIe 3.0 lanes support the NVMe protocol and, in combination with a corresponding M.2 SSD, enable a data transfer rate of almost 4 GB / s. This is about eight times faster than a SATA 6G connected SSD! Additional drives such as SSDs, HDDs and optical drives can be connected via four SATA 3.0 ports. A maximum of 32 GB of RAM with a clock speed of up to 2,666 MHz can be accommodated in two DDR4 DIMM slots.

The ASUS STRIX B360-I Gaming has two USB 3.1 ports on the I / O panel. USB 3.1 ports are twice as fast as conventional USB 3.0 ports with maximum speeds of 10 Gbps! Other peripheral devices can be connected via two USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 slots. One of the USB 3.0 ports is a particularly thin and double-sided plug-in Type-C port.

There is also one DisplayPort and HDMI port for image playback via the integrated graphics processor unit on the I / O panel. For the output of the onboard sound (Supreme FX S1220A), the motherboard has five 3.5 mm jack outputs and an optical S / PDIF connector. The internal connections include a temperature sensor, power LED and speaker headers, four fan connectors and one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 header each.

The black ASUS STRIX B360-I gaming is illuminated by RGB LEDs and thus skilfully staged. In addition, it has an addressable 3-pin RGB LED header, which can be used to control each individual diode of a RGB LED strip. With the motherboard thus impressive lighting effects can be realized.
