ASUS TUF H370-Pro Gaming WiFi Motherboard Review

Final Thoughts

Pricing

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, I didn’t have up to date pricing information. However, this motherboard launches today and should be in retailer web stores any moment now. I would expect the price to be just a little over £100, and if it’s less than that, then that’s even better news.

Overview

The TUF series has always had a little something to be proud of. It’s a great series of motherboards that still packs a lot of the thrills we’ve come to love about their high-end STRIX gaming series. However, the focus on a more robust design and aesthetics provide a different flavour to the ASUS range. As we’ve seen today, this motherboard may be affordable, but it’s not mucking about when it comes to performance.

Build Quality

I think ASUS has done a fantastic job in this regard. There are a few little “premium” features that aren’t present, such as standard DIMMS with no armour, and only one PCIe slot armoured. However, does that really affect performance for the type of build this is aimed at? Not one bit. Of course, additional features such as the I/O shroud, the custom shaped black PCB, printed graphics, LED lighting, and more all add up to giving up a much more premium quality product, both physically and aesthetically.

Performance

When it comes to gaming performance, the TUF absolutely killed it. It set some of our most impressive gaming benchmarks to date, and that’s amazing. I really didn’t expect it if I’m honest. Cheaper motherboards often mean lower end performance, but that’s not the case. However, as much as this would make a great gaming motherboard, the crypto market is going to love it. It’s got the room for six GPUs if you use riser cables, obviously has fantastic GPU performance, and good power efficiency, so that’s ticking all the right boxes for mining rigs too.

Should I Buy One?

Cutting out the overclocking features may be a deal breaker for you. However, many people don’t run K-series CPUs and don’t need to either. I mean, we ran stock clocks, and still got amazing results! H370 may not offer much innovation over Z370 or even the H270 that it replaces. However, it does offer support for the 8th generation CPUs and their increased core counts, which does bring sizable gains. If I was to buy an H370 motherboard today, it would be this one.
