Final Thoughts

Pricing

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find accurate pricing or stock availability at the time of writing. Of course, we’ll update you when we have it, but please check with your local retailer of choice for details.

Overview

I do fear I’m becoming a bit of a broken record when it comes to the Z370 platform, which I guess is a good thing for ECS. Like so many other motherboards that have recently come to market, the latest Intel platform seems to be the new must-have for pure PC gaming. While I’m sure X399 and Z370 offer benefits to the game streaming and content creation users, Z370 is all about pure FPS.

Gaming

While not the fastest gaming motherboard we’ve tested, it’s unlikely to be the most expensive either. However, the gaming performance was superb, beating out many other high-end products, and keeping up with ones that cost a heck of a lot more. When it comes to picking a robust gaming motherboard, the LEET certainly has all the power you could ask for to get great performance.

Overclocking

This motherboard features impressive cooling on the VRM, the robust chokes, the high-quality capacitors, and more. This all adds up to reliability and stability, ensuring you can maintain those overclocks with ease. If you’re maxing out your rig for hours on end, this is a big benefit.

Added Value

With high-quality audio and great connectivity, the LEET is a jack of all trades. There’s plenty of storage options with 6 x SATA and 2 x M.2 drive mounts, and a wide array of USB connections too. Add to that the easy to use MIB X overclocking interface, onboard power and BIOS controls, as well as the RGB LED lighting, and you have a pretty complete package.
