GBTech - AMD launched its top of the line Ryzen processors first and saved the lineup's mid-range offerings for later. Since Ryzen 5 processors have been out on the market and Ryzen 3 processors are getting nearer, it appears that Asus thought it was a decent time to announce a pair of upper-midrange AM4 motherboards. These new offerings are the ROG Strix X370-F Gaming and ROG Strix B350-F Gaming.
The ROG motherboards from Asus are known for their top notch parts, RGB LED bling, and gamer-accommodating features. The ROG Strix X370-F Gaming checks all of these containers. It's a major ATX board with dual, steel-strengthened PCI-e spaces, one M.2 opening, and support for DDR4 RAM at 3200 MT/s. There's an onboard Intel I211-AT Gigabit Ethernet controller and a Realtek S1220A audio codec.
The board incorporates one DisplayPort and one HDMI connector, despite the fact that AMD doesn't have an attachment AM4 APU out on the market yet. The top of the line X370 chipset offers a great deal of network, so accordingly there's a total of 10 USB ports in various flavors on the back panel, incorporating USB 3.1 ports in Type-An and Type-C flavors. The board incorporates more than a couple of features for those slanted to overclock. A base clock generator headlines the rundown, and it could allow fearless tweakers to push their CPUs' BCLK frequencies above 100 MHz for outrageous memory overclocking. Asus claims clients can push this recurrence up to or past 158MHz on the X370-F.
A ROG board just wouldn't look ideal without a couple of visual touches. The ROG Strix X370-F Gaming incorporates RGB LEDs (notably on the large I/O cover) and extra connectors with Aura Sync bolster.
From various perspectives, the ROG Strix B350-F Gaming motherboard is the little cousin of the ROG Strix X370-F. The most important distinction is the chipset, as the board utilizes AMD's mid-range B350 advertising. Accordingly, the board has a couple less USB ports on the back and less PCIe lanes. The two USB 3.1 ports are of Type-A. Additionally, the B350-F doesn't utilize the standalone base clock generator. Be that as it may, the board still incorporates the Intel I211-AT Ethernet controller, S1220A audio codec, and steel-strengthened PCI-e openings.
While details on the two boards are up on Asus' site, they haven't yet made it to online retailers. Asus hasn't yet revealed evaluating or availability.
