NZXT N7 Z370 ATX Motherboard Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

3DMark Firestrike

In 3DMark the N7 is off to a good start, it’s not quite the fastest we’ve tested scoring 22143, but it’s competitive with other Z370 motherboards. However, overclocking moved it up the charts a fair bit, scoring a more respectable 23855.

Overclocked

Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme

The PCIe throughput is looking healthy and there are no issues here at stock and overclocked values.

Overclocked

PCMark 10 Express

Again, a score of 5984 at stock and 6582 overclocked aren’t the fastest. However, it’s certainly competitive with many other Z370 motherboards, and about where we expected the N7 to performance.

Overclocked

WPrime 32M and 1024M

The same is true here, with the N7 scoring strong and somewhat in the middle of other Z370 motherboards. Overclocking did cut the time down quite nicely though, and the N7 has no issues being pushed to 5 GHz.

Overclocked

Cinebench R15

Again, another perfectly average score, and that’s no bad thing given it’s priced somewhere in the middle for Z370 motherboards.

Overclocked

Handbrake MP4 to MKV Conversion 4K

A lot more competitive here, although this task is mostly CPU bound. Either way, heavy CPU loads even while overclocked didn’t cause any issues or slowdown for the N7.
