ASUS is adding one more motherboard to their Ryzen AM4 line up in the form of the ROG STRIX X370-F Gaming motherboard. This motherboard is positioned right below the flagship ROG Crosshair VI Hero but also offers plenty of features above the non-ROG Prime X370-Pro. Aside from supporting all AMD Ryzen AM4 motherboards, the ROG STRIX X370-F Gaming offers some aesthetic and feature advantages over regular AM4 mainboard offerings.
The ASUS ROG STRIX X370-F Gaming motherboard sports a unique angular heatsink design with muted colors. ASUS also includes a built-in RGB LED on the IO cover area and the chipset heatsink. Users can also plug in their own RGB LED strips via two Aura RGB headers. These can be controlled via the UEFI or via the AURA Sync desktop software.
The X370-F Gaming motherboard has eight angled SATA 6Gb/s ports, but it also offers an M.2 socket 3 Type M support for PCIe 3.0 x4 or SATA drives. This includes taking advantage of 32Gb/s performance with NVMe storage with an AMD Ryzen CPU installed. The X370-F Gaming motherboard also supports M.2 form factors up to 110mm long.
In terms of external storage, there is a USB 3.1 front panel header available on-board as well as two 19-pin USB 3.0 front panel headers. At the rear IO, there are six USB 3.0 ports and two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports supporting speeds up to 10Gb/s. One of these USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports is also a Type-C, which supports reversible plugging.
Since it is a gaming motherboard, the X370-F Gaming takes advantage of the X370 chipset’s PCIe 3.0 bifurcation capability. This means it is capable of running two graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire in x8/x8 mode. ASUS also designed these pair of PCIe 3.0 x16 slots to be reinforced with metal shielding and provide triple-slot spacing.
For a more immersive gaming experience, ASUS also incorporated superior Intel I211-AT Gigabit LAN controller with ROG GameFirst technology. In terms of audio, the ROG SupremeFX 8-channel audio sub-system uses a custom ALC1220. This features 120dB SNR stereo playback and 113dB SNR recording, and up to 32-bit/192kHz playback. Users can also take advantage of built-in headphone amplifiers with impedance sensing capability for both the front and back outputs.
