Intel’s 8086, the company’s first processor to use its ubiquitous x86 instruction set architecture, debuted on June 8, 1978. Forty years later and by some stroke of fortuitous timing, Intel’s desktop CPU portfolio is loaded with eighth-generation Core processors. So it was only fitting, then, that after a bit of prodding by a well-known chip analyst, Intel announced that it’d pay homage to the 8086 with a 40th-anniversary limited-edition Core i7-8086K.

The GIGABYTE X399 Designare EX is a motherboard designed to be both feature-packed and reliable. Its list of features is very long and, despite the massive size of the processor’s socket and the eight DDR4 RAM slots, the dimensions of the GIGABYTE X399 Designare EX are exactly those of a typical ATX motherboard, allowing it to be installed inside any typical ATX-compliant case.

The short list of uncommon features Gigabyte adds to this board includes a DisplayPort-to-HDMI 2.0 adapter for one of the three display outputs, a pair of Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports, and Intel’s latest CNVi-based 1.73Gb/s Wi-Fi module.

In this review we’ll take a look at the ASUS ROG Strix B360-F GAMING. Serving as the more conservative full-ATX motherboard in the ROG Strix gaming line, this motherboard borrows many attributes and features from its high-end brothers at the mainline ROG family but still maintain a distinct appeal of its own without touching ROG pricing territory.

ASRock’s X299E-ITX/ac really does mITX X299 perfectly. If you want 18 cores of a CPU, lots of M.2 drives, maybe some normal SSDs or mechanical drives, they all fit in here. Dual LAN chips, Wi-Fi, and decent sound are all present as well. Support for some high-speed RAM? Yes, that’s here too, and there are a decent number of USB ports all things considered.
